English The film starts off promising, but quickly gets bogged down in a tedious slog, occasionally spiked with interesting ideas or solid scenes. Unfortunately, it ultimately drowns in its own absurdity. If it had maintained a consistently dark tone without veering into unintentionally funny territory, it might have turned out better. The ending is a complete joke. It's a very low-budget film, but that's not what sinks it. With a sharper script, it could've been a fresh, psychological horror with a unique take on ghost stories. As it stands, the potential was buried deep underground. ()
