Brilliant. Absolutely Brilliant.

The script is flawless. It's a movie from the viewpoint of a ghost, and to me it captures the essence of a ghost like no other movie has been able to. Our ideas of ghosts have evolved over time and this captures today's sensibilities spot on, unless of course you are thinking blood, guts and gore. A cerebral look at a haunting. Just beautiful and mesmerizing. Thank you Netflix!

I just finished watching and I am still unsettled. I love these slow creepy films that have that one scene that just blows your mind. The natural lighting was amazing. And the prose was out of this world.
Great film all around.

I liked it, too. This was a true ghost story, as opposed to a horror story.
