Curious, Meg and Nath ignore his warnings and begin exploring and troubling secrets are revealed.

Reaction


Reviewer Dave Sindelar [1] gives the film a positive review: "It's not perfect; it's a little too long, so you end up figuring some of the final revelations before you should, and it gets a little repetitive at times, but the strong acting and some memorable images make it worth the investment."
The film is also praised as a "Murky psychological thriller with resonant settings and an emotive Rózsa score.
