Review by jandobrodumow

I watched this with someone who really liked it and he was surprised I was checking the time, but if I hadn't been with him, I would have left the cinema a long time before. The film is so painfully slow and devoid of incident for going on an hour. It is literally like watching paint dry, ok we know she lost her husband and had to get away from it all, etc etc, but the premise was not exactly breaking new ground in originality, and the cast of oddballs, reminiscent of the league of gentlemen, did nothing to ramp up a horror type vibe, so we ended up stuck somewhere between Royston Vasey and Hammer house of horror. But it looks good, has a decent score, decent acting from the lead, interesting special effects, it just unfortunately has a screenplay that comes across as very confused and underdeveloped, the story is half-baked and devoid of strong creative twists and surprises. Basically it is just pretty boring.
