A fine example of the 'psychological thriller' genre. It's not a horror story, although things do get gothic and creepy as it progresses. That ambience is skillfully accented by haunting oboe music in the background. Antonia Campbell-Hughes, will be in demand for a long time, judging by how well she fleshed out her 'Cordelia' character - no small challenge considering how thin she is.
Much of the criticism about this movie pertains to its ambiguous ending. It certainly doesn't end nicely wrapped up, Hollywood-style, but the people who made it apparently wanted the audience to come up with their own endings. A nice twist in itself.
In any case Cordelia is worth watching even as the end credits roll, just to hear the excellent oboe and chorus music.
