WARNING: rigged positive votes. (movie had average rating of 8 when i checked)
Sadly most movie studios these days try to rig the votes in their favor. If you don't know already it's best to click on the 'number of votes' under the main score and watch the voting breakdown page. Here you can easily assess when the voting is rigged. When a movie is just released and already it has lots of perfect 10 votes you know it's fake! So don't fall for it.
About the movie: it reminds me of 'the others' with Nicole Kidman only not remotely on the same level. Overall it's really slow and uneventful. The story a bit weak and predictable. The acting OK but not great. It falls into the category of seen it all a 1000 times before.
Location and set pieces are nice but that's about it. definitely style over substance.

It's a wonder why up and coming stars like Emilia Clark even risk doing movies in the horror genre, its viewers are the most difficult to please. Not only will people have high expectations because of her Game of Thrones Fan base, but psychological horror movies without blood and gore nearly are almost always labeled boring, or they're accused of doing the same old tricks that have been used before in several movies before it. It's almost impossible with a win as an actor or actress.
I thought this movie was suspenseful,it kept me guessing throughout the entire film, and I thought Ms. Clark did an excellent job portraying her role.I'd certainly recommend this film!

I think this is being mis-marketed as a ghost story but it isn't. It isn't a homage to TURN OF THE SCREW, either. Yes, it looks great, has a terrific Gothic mood, but for 30 minutes, nothing happens. Then something sort of happens but it's not ghostly...and then nothing happens and then it ends. The ending is "nice" but an hour into this film's 90 mins, I really wondered if/when ANYTHING was going to happen.
Again, lovely to look at, well-written and directed, but a bore to sit through.

Horror thrillers with twists are something that will entertain and keep some viewers in suspense while others may feel bored and annoyed. Especially during the parts of the movie that may feel slow. Emilia Clarke who came to fame with Game of Thrones is decent enough in this, but if you're not a fan, you might not even care for her character.
Generally it is tough to connect with a lot of things happening and character decision taken. Since this is horror, it is to be expected, but still some will not like what they get served here. Overall a good effort with a nice twist towards the end and neat resolution (one might say) ...

Verena, a rehabilitation nurse, tries to help the young boy who has fallen silent since the sudden passing of his mother, but it turns out she needs help just as much as him.
Voice from the Stone is a handsome, old-fashioned film. Horror elements are kept to a minimum, so fans of haunted-house movies may be disappointed, especially since the trailer suggested otherwise.
Emilia and Marton do great job portraying their characters, and Edward Dring (Jakob) is also really impressive in his complex role.

- TriviaWhen the project was first announced, Maggie Gyllenhaal was attached to the lead role. Emilia Clarke eventually replaced the actress after the movie was stuck in development.
- GoofsWhen Verena cries demanding to the voice on the wall for answers, she breaks part of the wall and we can see how the pieces fall to the ground. Within a few minutes of that scene, Jakob is lying on the floor leaning against the wall and the floor is completely clean.
