Reviews
Just a quick review, me and my Girlfriend watched this over the weekend, and I must say that it is one of the most terrifying horrors I have seen in a long long time.
No jump-scares, no cheesy ghosts, just pure psychological horror. Has you trying to figure out whether the character is imagining it, or it is real. Without spoiling the film, the only let down was the ending, very unorthodox of a horror.
Other then that, its a pretty tense, scary and surprisingly enjoyable watch.
