An excruciatingly slow build is helped by an likable protagonist and an intriguing setup. The film's direction and cinematography is skilled, with expected gothic color palates and striking candlelit scenes, but quality of the visual style is offset by questionable performances and distracting accents. There is a decent and refreshingly original idea behind the supernatural mystery but unfortunately the last act is shambles. There are some decent creepy vibes, if no real frights. Its all pretty tame fare with an over-reliance on expected tropes. Pity, as the ideas within warrant further exploration, and with more polish would have elevated this film beyond serviceable.
