It is very intense in it's filming. There is no hiding in this film, from an actors perspective. There is no need for indepth character development, and I think that's what I liked about it. We didn't need an hour of backstory, we got just enough to help the story progress.
Lucy Liu is not the star player in this film. She plays her role convincingly. The storyline is subtle and the way it is filmed is key. There is some subtleties that won't make sense until it's all over.
It is not quite as revolutionary as some reviews have made it out to be, but it is different and I really appreciated it for that.
You are kept in suspense, but not in an exhausting way. You keep watching because you know there's an explanation but you're not teased to get there.
I enjoyed it. A nice little ghost story from a different perspective and no expectation of a commercialised series of films. Just slimmed down, basic story telling.
Recommend a watch.
