Yes it's a story we have heard before but this does have some gorgeous art direction and a fantastic set. Andrew Lincoln is awesome in this, the actress chosen doesn't quite fit. It's rather hard to believe that she recently lost a baby as she seems in her 50s possibly close to 60 (not trying to be ageist just seems a little hard to believe in 1951 someone would have had a baby at 50). She gives a good performance but definitely one note, and almost identical to her role in Babadook (really the only difference is her hair color). I do wish there was a bit more to her character. And it's hard to see how the husband is treated, but it works for the story. This has a slow pace, but that's fitting. A quiet, ghostly vibe. My favorite part is definitely the set design.
