When you are told the main character's fate at the beginning of a film, you are naturally left thinking there must be more to the film. Unfortunately this isn't the case here.
There are some eerie early scenes where the build up tension is actually good. The director is clearly good at setting such scenes. These are let down however, by the final scare not being scary at all. For instance, a character screaming at the camera with the viewer not being shown what is so terrifying until the moment is gone, feels like a complete waste of a tense build up to it.
The frequent narration throughout the film makes this feel more like a timid ghost story or Gothic poem more than a horror. This may have been intended, along with the ambiguity of much of the film. But there are too many events open to interpretation to satisfy any viewer. To me this was a waste of time. I would avoid this.
