Cold and frightening. The movie is not about ghosts but about madness and the energies it sets loose in an isolated situation primed to magnify them.
The film’s long takes, meticulous framing, shrewd art direction, eerie naturalism, and merciful patience are exotic by the horror movie’s current attention-defecit disorder.
Ostensibly a haunted house story, it manages to traverse a complex world of incipient madness, spectral murder, and supernatural visions that will make you jump.
