I really wanted to like this film as I enjoy British films (usually) I love creepy, spooky tales but this is a poor attempt. I'm at a loss to understand how it gets ratings of 9 and 10 stars. There's all the usual cliches you get in these sorts of films... recent bereavement, family moves to a new house, strange locals etc but it's all so dreary. I just didn't care about the characters (leading lady spends most of her time pouting and the kid is annoying) it's simply very boring with a lack of atmosphere. Some of it is beautifully shot but romantic scenery and all the attempts at noir can't save it.
