Having seen a wide selection of lower budget films in my movie watching career, rarely have I seen one so well filmed and acted. The intriguing plot, kept me guessing right until the final scene. The quality of the filming and almost timelessness of the sets, created, in parts, an ethereal quality which made the supernatural element of the film all the more haunting. The characters,especially Mr. Duke (who made me feel very uneasy throughout the film),successfully convinced me of a stifled secret, which when revealed was genuinely shocking. More shocking though is the fact that the story is based on a little known part of Canada's past that would surprise viewers both Canadian and otherwise.
