A vicar and his wife and her child are sent to a failing parish, but the vicarage holds a ghastly secret.

Decent performances, the standout being the occultist, who has a certain look and intensity that suited the part - although I had trouble catching some of his lines. Otherwise, the sound design is good, with effective music, and the cinematography makes the most of an old location and does justice to the director's flair for mirror trickery and surreal images.

But the screenplay is an absolute mess. This is supposed to be a story of righting a historical wrong, of laying a ghost to rest - think Ringu for pure simplicity with clever story telling ... and then run a mile from this. It's burdened with a preposterous fascist subplot, but also has the cheek to open with a scene that is never integrated into the main plot yet is far more gruesome than anything that comes after, then intrigues with a tango scene - again, pointless - before stabbing away at some blaaah about illegitimate child bearing, before resolving on a completely under-powered encounter at the end. All sorts of themes are tossed in, with an unserious take on religion, resulting in a lack of drive or coherence. Because of this, nothing can really work, and the whole thing is drained of frights.

How do actors, and the director and cinematographer, find the will to go on with this kind of material? Beats me.

It's 1938. War is looming over the horizon. Marianne Forster (Jessica Brown Findlay) moves into a country mansion with her reverend husband Linus Forster (John Heffernan) and her illegitimate daughter Adelaide (Anya McKenna-Bruce). She starts having strange visions. Crazed local Harry Reed (Sean Harris) claims the home to be haunted.

This is rather poor as a horror. There just isn't enough jump scares. Besides the atmosphere of the location, this basically has only one horror move. That move isn't actually scary. The thing that actually intrigues me is her back story. There is a better story there but the movie doesn't show it. This is a slightly below average horror but I do like her story.

This film start with a priest reading the Bible, and the phone ringing scene! As turnout, this film is about a ghost woman need to take revenge on a married couple's daughter "Adelaide" by taken her! Entire film full of boring conversation, and super annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the phone ringing scene, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the driving scene, overuse of the searching scene, overuse of the using torch light scene, overuse of the reading Bible scene, overuse of the dim off the candle light scene, overuse of the eating scene, overuse of the drinking scene, overuse of the smoking scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the staring scene, overuse of the arguing scene, overuse of the hallucinate scene, and overuse of the blackout scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, after buried the human bone, Marianne watching her husband preaching! That's it! Completely wasting time to watch!
