Our Opinion:
This is a great ghost story with a supurb back story. I could see a prequel being made for this. The characters were OK but they do not reach the level of say Stir of Echos. Worth watching a second time. The DVD has a lot of extra material about this particular story and its associated crack pots.

Our Opinion:
Wildly fantastic! The characters had a lot of depth. The idea for the story was very cool. Great special effects. I won’t give away too much but this one gets very surreal on the second half.
