Happy newlywed, Emma (Natalie Press) is a very successful Wall Street broker, but gives it all up and moves with her family to a secluded country estate. It seems like the perfect relaxing live, but her dreams quickly turn into nightmares when she begins seeing terrifying visions. She starts by thinking she is seeing the future, but soon Emma realizes that these frightening sightings depict horrific events from the mansion’s past. It has a terrible secret that must get out.
This is a decent horror film, one that though slow in building, has some really good scares in it. Some of these, ok, most of these, are the loud sound sudden thing pops up, but be real. Those things really scare us half to death. Aside from that, this film has the real slowly developing story that is terrifying in itself as well, and makes it worth watching. It’s not going to be some people’s cup of tea, as it isn’t the typical teen slash fest. It’s a lot more cerebral and story driven. This film is available on NetFlix’s Watch Instantly, so it’s a good one to look for if you have no DVD’s on hand and want to see a decent horror film in between. If you’re looking for fast paced shock and gore films, then this isn’t it, but if you’re willing to invest a bit of time to get into the movie, then this can be a lot of fun.
