George Claire (James Norton) accepts a job as a professor in Saginaw, New York at Hudson Valley. He buys a murder farmhouse, information which he hides from his bulimic trophy wife Catherine (Amanda Seyfried) and daughter. George is not the upstanding citizen we were lead to believe and his life becomes unraveled at the same time his wife and daughter are dealing with ghosts. The community are followers of Emanuel Swedenborg who believed in portals between this world and the afterlife.

This film has nothing to do with Amber Heard rumors. Amanda Seyfried gives us a good performance in a film that that grabbed me, but let me go at the end. Can't we have an alternative ending?

Guide: F-word. Implied sex. Brief partial nudity.

What a bizarre, curious movie this was, classified on Netflix as a horror, it is most definitely not a horror, I'd place it more in the thriller genre.

Production values are superb, and the acting is first rate, both James Norton and Amanda Seyfried put in first rate performances, the pair are superb.

Each scene where I saw Norton's white vest popping through the top of his jumper, I saw Sidney Chambers, British fans will of course be familiar with Granchester.

Despite the amazing acting, and the very atmospheric start, I find it hard to forgive the ending, this is a movie in the category of, how not to end a film, it sucks, it's unoriginal, and the movie deserved more.

Overall, very well acted, good story, a poor ending, it's worth a look, 6/10.

The movie sets out a mood that is quite ... good to say the least. You really get into the movie and its characters and maybe learn things about them, that make them not as likeable (some of them). Of course there seem to be warning signs on one of them - but the depths this goes ... incredible! What I personally liked, was seeing the aftermath of a horrible act and not the horrible act itself - though horrible may be a definition thing for some - what do you consider horrible or just plain morally wrong? Maybe you even think it is justified ... although that would make me question your morals on more than one occasion.

As at least another reviewer said though, the ending is quite ... weak. Which is the last impression you have of a movie. What was not disclosed and what I can't tell you either at the moment is at what moment (time wise) you should turn off and make up the rest on your own. I just know that the movie seems to pander to both sides - trying to shock but also appease. It may look good, but you may have issues to totally understand certain things ... especially an out there decision being made by one of the main characters ... way out there, but still in frame! (puns very much intended) - but you may feel different about it of course and think this is the best solution to this ever. Though why the awake(ning) then? Well you can't win them all, now can you? And up to that point it really is more than well made.
