In his feature film debut, Ted Geoghegan essentially
delivers two movies for the price of one: a slow-burn haunted house tale about
two parents attempting to cope with their son’s death, and a giddy
splatter-fest with some of the most over-the-top gore in recent memory. The
final half hour’s extreme violence, while more than a bit incongruent, does not
detract from the earlier scenes’ reliance on subtler thrills (Geoghegan
appreciates the power of both creaking floorboards and arterial spray).
Ultimately, these jarring tonal shifts are grounded by the
surprisingly-emotional performances of Barbara Crampton and Andrew Sensenig as
the grieving parents.
