Viewing Notes
Given that this is from the director of CURE, CREEPY, etc. I was expecting more. Given that almost everything takes place in highly staged indoor spaces with little in the way of outdoor establishing shots, this felt like a made-for-tv film with a tight budget.
Interesting story and some nice twists, but ultimately too static and melodramatic.
