A professor and students head to an isolated house in the countryside where they study a young woman with potential supernatural abilities. Familiar story lacking in any appreciable kind of atmosphere or suspense. From a technical standpoint, it's a perfectly well-made movie of its type. Nothing to write home about but nothing to mock either. The problem is that it's all so terribly boring and predictable. If you've seen possession movies or ghost movies before, and I wager you have, then you will feel like you've seen this movie done before and better. If you do decide to watch it, be prepared that it's slow and dull. It will require commitment on your part to get through it and I doubt you'll find the payoff worth it. The revived Hammer Films continues to disappoint me. I don't expect them to try and replicate the great Hammer of old. But it would be nice if they at least tried to make movies that are fun to watch instead of tired, drab films like this.
