This is simply a gem of a production...and what's not to love about a nineteenth century horror set in olde Yorkshire!

The cast are fab, as is the setting and lighting.

Horror normally, probably not one of my fave genres either and so it has to be a great story, well acted, and sufficiently suspenseful to keep me engaged.

Hopefully going to take the Mrs to see this one too and looking forward to seeing what she thinks of it as well. I think she will love it, as will most fans of the genre.

Here's hoping for more new films like this going forwards instead of pointless remakes and super hero saturation.

What were they thinking? Gothic horror can be dreary but something has to happen eventually. And if you decide to have a literal monster in your film, use something real, something genuinely unnerving, instead of an extremely poor cgi asset from a rejected PS2 game, that can barely even move.

The film also cannot justify its runtime. It might have made a half decent short film, but this is a long, boring sleep-enhancer. Watch The Others to see how a tense single mother period drama can be done effectively.

There are good ways to have a character wander around the same corridor over and over again to build tension. But not here.

Flatly acted and at the bottom of a very long list of better spooky movies. Sadly, this was dry, lifeless nonsense.
