in love with the past and emulates the aesthetic and visual style of Seventies movies while wisely reminding viewers that this movie is set in the present. If you too are a fan of that era’s style, see it. Go to Full Review Gregory Nussen Screen Rant Oct 10

3/5
It’s surprising that the filmmaker, despite a low budget, manages to develop the central characters before throwing them into a mystery that they need to resolve or come out of. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Melissa L @Agent99 Apr 13 A very haunting and beautiful rendition of the Poe story. The music running through through the narrative lended to that mood. It actually was very beautiful...and well-made. Sometimes movies like this one are very dry. This one didn't suffer from that malady...I highly recommend this.

I did complete it and it was mainly because of the music bed. The music really in my opinion moved the story along. It reminded me of music from the 40s and 50s maybe like the 40s films. It didn't bug me too much that an excessive amount of music was used because it was good music and it helped match the tone/mood of whatever scene it was synched.
