    Very odd movie
    They say sometimes less is better, but in this case, I wish there was more.

    The setting, cinematography, music and even the acting is good, but at the end all I can say is: What was going on? Was it a ghost? Was it a creature? Was it a product of their imaginations? Was the mother crazy? What the hell was happening?

    A very good suspense and drama-driven movie but with a very unsatisfying ending.

    I reminded me of The Babadook (which scared the hell out of me by showing nothing), or the VVitch, which was actually scary.
