Children of Darkwood House

This is a traditional film without any CGI or razmataz stuff going on, just very purely made. A film with ghosts and well acted. A tense storyline, and all the way through it was scary. Just make sure not to watch this in the dark. A brave woman is a paranormal investigator who wants to help a mother look for her children that mysteriously disappeared inside a house. There's a lot more going on with the house and it seems cursed. The sets are beautiful and even the garden outside looks dark. It was atmospheric, lovely to watch, nice costumes and I didn't want it to end. There should've been a TV series made with the lead character because she was awesome.

This is a movie that really shows that you don't need constant jump scares and CGI to make a good film. The story and acting are enough to convey a very creepy story. The movie's atmosphere is rich without becoming cheesy like some Gothic style horror movies can become.

This movie glides along traditional lines like The Innocents and The Haunting. This isn't a movie for people for people that want action and gore but rather story, acting and a sense of unease that turns into dread.

I have to admit I am not a fan of torture porn and I much prefer movies that rely on genuine scares rather than gore.

I do recommend this movie to those that enjoy films like The Others and The Orphanage. Movies that actually have a plot and decent acting.
