Viewing Notes

Now I know what everyone’s talking about… really shouldn’t have waited this long after discovering this last October. Damn fine film that works on many levels. It finishes with a wimper, which is the only thing keeping it from a higher rating. It’s nearly all atmosphere here and that becomes yet another character, maybe the best character, in this sleepy seaside horror mystery. It’s on Amazon Instant, atm. Highly recommended.
