Viewing Notes

Made a rare trip out to S.Barrington to catch this in the theater, the only theater screening this film in all of Chicagoland. Weird. Guess it’s still in (very) limited release, which is too bad b/c it’s a solid old fashioned slow burn period ghost story with solid performances. Reminds me of The Orphanage. Very enjoyable but not for everyone. Rebecca Hall steps up.
