"Superbly filmed, well made, very creepy, and exceptionally interesting for a horror movie.
None of the silliness that infects so many horror films, no explosions, boring car chases at high speeds with guns being fired all over the place.
Thank goodness! Just a highly absorbing tale with nice touches of horror, and a truly chilling ghost in the flashback sequences.
It starts off almost as though it's going to be one of those science fiction movies where one is taken back in time, in this case to the 1940s where the heroine of the movie sees a murder committed and then finds herself back in the present day, where she sets about solving the mystery that she encounters when researching what she saw in the time warp flashback.
I never lost interest once througout the movie. Very good indeed!
Some questions left remaining at the end, but all in all, a very effective
film, I would have liked it to have gone on for longer, and the ghost looks truly malevolent."
