I put this on, on a wim, needing an easy watch.

It was everything I needed; short, direct, creepy as hell, atmospheric and original. I was hiding behind my hands quite a bit!

There was enough mystery to leave you with questions but not too much to be annoying.

Great acting, great music, great pacing. I think this is my favourite movie in a long time.

If you're a horror fan then this is a must watch. The bell scenes sent shivers down my spine and the close ups on Jane had me expecting jump scares that never came. Sorry for the ramble, I never write reviews but needed to this time.

How have I never heard of this film before?

I'm a huge Harlan Coben fan and was very much looking forward to this adaptation. I sa3 it through to the end but wish I'd gone with my instinct and given up after the first episode. I don't think Harlan's novels translate well into British shows.

The characters are unlikable, annoying and wooden.

The dialogue is cringey and forced.

There was zero chemistry between the actors.

Plot holes and unnecessary story lines.

Continuity and attention to detail is poor.

There is a lot of jumping to conclusions and coincidences.

Big talents like Lenny Henry, James Nesbitt and Steve Pemberton were just wasted.

By the end of the series I was just glad it was over.

I really don't understand the outstanding hype this series has. I stuck with it because it was raved about by every man and his dog. All three seasons felt slow and boring. There was no mystery or intrigue. What started off as a main storyline in season three was very quickly forgotten about and then concluded off screen. It wasn't remotely linked to the Tommy Lee Royce thread. I ended up fast forwarding some of the Finale as there was so much 'filler'. The acting was all great but the writing was just dull. The PR and Marketing team deserve a raise because they did an outstanding job reeling in viewers!
