This is the perfect slowburn of mystery, tension, and psychological terror. On the surface, it seems like a simple grieving widow-goes-nuts story. Beth just lost her husband to suicide and is haunted by something supernatural that may or may not be her dead husband.

There were several good jump scares and plenty of scenes that made my skin crawl. My skin doesn’t just crawl for any movie.

The ending is a bit ambiguous and it was at that time when I wanted full resolution, so I felt a little bit let down. After thinking about it a bit more, I’d rather it stay unexplained. Interpret it however you need to, but the journey is still damn good from start to finish.

The director, David Bruckner, also directed the new Hellraiser movie. I’m going to be watching his career very closely.
