Another loser from Del Toro, whose films are visually lush but narratively too spare and unsatisfying. No real suspense or surprise here. No scares, and no edge. As always, Del Toro is in love with the reflection of what he envisions, and attacks everything from the wrong angle. A completely unsatisfying movie. Watch a Val Lewton picture instead.
Always love something with a historical time period and this is very much a ghostly horror with a different twist and not something you will see much of again.
i gave it a 1 simply because there isnt a 0 to choose
Very cheesy over sold not scary to say the least
Wrong classification. More fantasy than horror. Acting good, storey line not great. Go if you have nothing better to do.
Complete waste of time
Creepy. Not scary, but the content is disturbing, I don't recommend.
I went in with zero knowledge or expectations. It was nice to see Kingston ON (my home town) had a scene or two in the movie. It was too ambitious of a film. Obviously Del Toro is trying to branch out and try something new, but add more scary in your horror film, please! I was so bored. It should have just been a murder mystery.
boring.
A little long and drawn out but the old mansion and 1800's clothing and acting was kinda cool.
