This was not a bad movie by any means but I think it greatly suffered from being underdeveloped...
It just didn't feel like there was enough meat to the story. I think they either needed to beef it up or make it a short. The foundation of the plot was a solid idea but the execution left it a little undercooked and a tad confusing.... And along with that came poor pacing. This is most certainly a slow burn that unfortunately lacked atmosphere or intrigue to sustain it.
The acting all around was good. Main three characters did an excellent job. One thing I really disliked about this movie was the music.... Like, a lot. It felt like the score to a cheesy 90s made for tv movie. It was silly, repetitive and distracting.
All in all it was moderately entertaining just a bit lack luster. I suppose I would recommend... indifferently.

Felt like a long episode of Are You Afraid Of The Dark
Promising Idea, But Lacks Momentum To Be Great
I thought this movie had a lot of potential- good acting, great photography, and a promising storyline, however, the dialogue, score, and pacing were too low energy for me to stay fully engaged. Also, I expected more intensity and tension that this movie could have desperately used.
I dont mind a slow-burn movie, but the ending has to make it worth the wait. This fell a bit short.
[5/10]
Dark mystery, not horror
This one's a dark mystery of a child disappearance in rural Ireland, but with a visiting American as the lead. It's beautifully shot, with lots of awesome scenery and a wonderful, creepy setting. It's well written, well acted and with a fairly likable lead. No kills, no gore, no sex, no nudity, probably not even any swearing, and it's only somewhat disturbing, but with some very haunting and effective scenes and what I felt was a great ending. There is some extremely brief comic relief in the form of a very creepy, silent, Lurch-looking butler. I recommend it, but it's absolutely a slow one with no kind of action, so just be prepared for an atmospheric mind bender that may be hard to understand and will absolutely confound a great many people who watch it.
