valeriewessel's rating
I thoroughly enjoyed this show/film. Most of the characters are great! The second half was a little slower, but if you are a fan of dark humor serial killer movies, you will want to add this to your list! Bateman did an excellent job as the killer!
This was a good show. Not super original and a bit predictable. Definitely based on the original "Turn of the Screw" ghost story. I would call it a mix of "The Others" and "Fried Green Tomatoes." So if you love watching those movies, this show is for you! I am a ghost story fan (fan of all horror genres). I don't really like entertainment that makes me cry. So I am a bit split, hence the 6/10 rating. This show was spooky and suspenseful at times, then touching at others, and (for me) pretty darn sad sometimes, especially the end. I had two things that I didn't like about the show. One, the "dream hopping" or time jumping, or whatever was pushed too far. I understand the need for this in the story, but it was done too much to the point that by the end of many episodes I had a headache and felt frustrated. Could have made the point before I was frustrated and totally over it. I know it helps you feel the frustration and confusion of the characters, but I could have gotten that before the viewing experience became painful. The second thing I didn't like was how much the last episode made me cry. I don't mind a few tears, but when there is a solid amount of the last episode that is making me cry, at the end I have a headache and feel like a mess and am kinda pissed at the show for it. But thats just me. If you are kinda spooky, but love a good cry-fest once in a while, definitely watch this show!
This movie reminded me of Black Swan and Perfection, but was original enough to be entertaining. Without giving much away, I will say I would have appreciated a bit more explanation on the notebook or the origin of how it came to the first girl. I guess it leaves endless room and questions for sequels and prequels. There is definitely more there to be explained, and it was good enough that I would watch another one to find out more.
