When I saw the lead character I was too excited to watch this movie because it’s one of my favorite actresses in the industry, Nathalie Emmanuel aka Ramey from the “Fast and Furious”-franchise.
This movie is a Horror/Thriller and it starrs Nathalie Emmanuel, Thomas Dohertly (2021’s “Gossip Girl), Stephanie Corneliussen (“Legends of Tomorrow”), Alana Boden (“Uncharted”),
This movie was directed by Jessica M. Thompson (Across The Pond).
Onto the premise: A young woman is courted and swept off her feet, only to realize a gothic conspiracy is afoot.
This movie had a fantastic setup with great settings, unpredictable characters and intriguing circumstances. There’s some great jump scenes throughout this movies and well done horror elements. The library opening, bedroom scene, dinner table discovery and wine cellar sequences were all pretty good. The love story had the perfect blend of intensity mixed with “somethings off.” Unfortunately the movie takes a turn the wrong way during the wedding and the conclusion feels rushed and not as well thoughtout and executed as the buildup leading you to feel unfulfilled as the movie concludes. The very end just before the credits wasn’t as clever and smart as the director hoped.
Overall this had the potential to be a worthwhile addition to the horror genre but falls short of what it could have been. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
Overall I really liked it and would recommend it to watch it because the acting was too good and the atmosphere was tense which was created with really cool camera angles. Therefore it’s worth a watch.
