Description
In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds… and remembers.
From this crazy beautiful movie, you can safely throw out all the ghosts and expand the final fight to make it even more beautiful.
Why did their mother beat them, why did her father beat her, why do these children need this mansion, who is their father at all, and how is the heroine's mother connected with all this? It seems like they explained everything on the run, but it faded, if at least fragments of their past had been shown, it would have been clearer, but since the connection between these events is not particularly visible. And so, if you just connect all these storylines yourself, then the plot will still be raw.
In the beginning, I thought it was like the movie The Woman in Black, but somehow it's not that. Ghosts generally play a secondary role here, and the plot would have gone without them. There was almost no butler on the screen, there could have been more.
But the film itself is beautifully shot, and the actors are famous, you can watch it purely because of the visual, I like such films with a Gothic style.
