What?
Intriguing, too long and amateurish
I was glued to the screen and wanted to watch it till the end. However, the movie is too long, the lead acting was a tad too cartoonish . Tim and Adam were by far the best characters in terms of acting.
I don't for the life of me, understand the relevance of the creepy old woman and bleeding soldier characters. Especially the older woman. Also, WHO is haunting the house? The son, the tree or the soldier??
Furthermore, the photography was too straightforward. There was a real dearth of photography angles and appropriate lighting. The music was largely irrelevant to understanding the movie. Of course the music is nice because it is Mozart but it does not being any significant clue or mystery to the movie. The movie would have been the same with or without the music.
Bottom line, a lot of scènes are absolutely unnecessary and this movie has no right to be 1h50min long.
Surprisingly good spooky movie
This was an excellent spooky movie. The plot pulls you along with a sense of growing creepiness as the main characters move along their character arc. The acting and production are top-quality, much better than I expected from a low-budget thriller. And the effective use of classical music pieces adds to the overall atmosphere of "the house," especially toward the end. I hear that the creative people behind this movie are planning to make another. I'm eager to see it.
