Oh hell yeah!!! This one is great!
I had to watch it twice, though. Let's talk about:
From the great minds who brought us, Caveat (which, to my complete surprise, I haven't yet reviewed and ALSO had to watch twice), we have a CHILLER of a ghost story.
Here we have a mental institution psychologist and his wife who are renovating a converted farm house. One night, while she's alone, she's murdered in the home.
Everything looks like the culprit is a deranged patient from the institution, but the woman's blind twin sister - who has psychometry skills - knows, after touching the suspect's glass eye, who murdered her sister.
This is a creeping, crawling, slow burn that is captivating throughout the entire film. Do not be distracted like I was as I was researching the filming locations. You'll need to keep your eye on every detail of this paranormal thriller.
There's something gross and tangible about this film but I can't put my finger on it. Pun sort of intended there. It engages nearly all the senses and forces you to look in the shadows.
Side note, I went on a date about a month ago. Something came up where he asked if I like antique stores. I do, but then I added a *caveat*, that I can't be in them for very long. I get overwhelmed.
He asked what I meant and I said (and I can't believe I said this out loud on a first date) that I see things. I see ghosts, spirits, etc. but that I also see things when I touch items and it gets overwhelming for me.
This poor man looked at me like I was a little touched in the head. I just shrugged. Not much I can really do about this - I just let it happen when it happens and I do my best to ground and protect myself.
Welp. He said he had a great time and I'm a great person but he's leaving now lololololololo
In any case, overall - I just love this film. It will stick with me for a long time.
Best watched alone or one other person. Pairs with a charcuterie board and a big glass of ice cold water.
I watched this film on Shudder or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can find this ghastly, ghoulish feature.
