I had no expectations of this movie. I had never heard of it and came across it as recommended on a web site. I am a big fan of supernatural horror movies, and it's always nice to come across something a little out of the ordinary. Won't give away any spoilers, but the basic premise of the move is a man with a pregnant wife, goes away to evaluate an old mans large estate out in the middle of nowhere, and strange things happen. Could be anyone of a 100 movies right? But it develops quite nicely as it goes along, if a little slowly in places. The acting is pretty good, with some nice cinematography to carry it through. The one thing that I found let it down, was the story line became muddled in places, and certain, quite important facts, were just vaguely mentioned in passing. This may well be down to bad editing, which can always wreck a perfectly movie, but this one manages to just drag itself above average, hence 6 stars. A bit more pace, and a bit less editing, could have been 8 or 9.
