The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Made me think a little and wondering what was really going on but it became more clear towards the end and actually gave me chills when it was over. A very good movie.

Dr. Peter Bower (Adrien Brody) laments and blames himself over the death of his daughter Evie (Emma O'Farrell). He accepts a job in Sydney doing psychological assessment. He discovers his patients all have one thing in common, something which forces him to return home and remember an event from over 20 years ago.Adrien Brody appears to have been typed cast into roles of a gloomy individual. He plays a pathetic individual not knowing what is happening to him, someone who sees ghosts. The film never develops into a real horror in spite of a few attempts to have a scary ghost scene. It is described as a mystery/thriller with the thriller side being light and half of the mystery revealed in the film trailer. The mystery peels itself back like an onion skin, never giving us enough clues to go beyond the next level.While I enjoyed watching the film, it is not one I would watch again.

This was a really interesting 90 minutes. A few plot problems but it grabbed my attention right away trying to figure out what was going on.A little slow moving but fun, with a few scares and a lot of twists.I don't really understand the bad reviews, and people trying to figure out and disagree with the motives of ghosts.So, it's a mystery with a little bit of horror sprinkled in. I know some of the scares were old hat but I liked them anyway.I don't see why everyone is raving about the acting of Adrien Brody. It wasn't that great I think any decent actor could have pulled it off. Didn't matter, it was the story that was good. I did really love the small part of Sam Neil though! Who throws in one of the first interesting twists.Possible spoiler: everyone is comparing this to other movies, but the one I think it's most like is "Stir of Echoes" with Kevin Bacon.Overall: if you don't like slow movers, you might not like it, but I thought it was great. Just hang in there for a while it gets better and better until the very end.

We've seen these stories before. Guy has a forgotten past, angry ghosts are making him solve the mystery which turns out to be different than the movie makes us believe at first.The movie is very slow, the script drags and there is not enough tension to make you sit on the edge of your seat. And probably that wasn't the intention anyway. No, it's a sit back and relax not so exciting ghost story. Some jump-scares make you not fall asleep.Of course Adrian Brody is trying to do his best to give a great performance, and he succeeds which is kind of an exercise realizing how dragging the script is he has been given. Same goes for the other leads. But when you feel the movie never ends and it is a 1hour20 minutes movie, that is a really bad sign - I was glad it was over. Still I'm giving it 6 out of 10 for the effort of trying to make a ghost movie with a slow burn. Not a really successful attempt but there is potential. Some Spanish director should make a remake of it, tear the script apart and start with the basics. Hopefully that would be more satisfying.
