I am not the target audience for this film, but I can enjoy younger ghost stories, because sometimes the mysteries are more interesting.

I think my main disappointment with it, is that it's very much a slow burn, with the pacing at the start being not great. With very little supernatural elements. I would have loved more creepy moments overall too, but I do like the fact they had a story behind everything.

The acting is pretty good though, and the production value looked great. And I thought the ending was really charming actually. I would have liked some more explanation about Mabel, but it's really not that bad overall.

This is a charming little ghost story for older children and tweens, with a well-dosed amount of horror elements and imagery. For seasoned adults who have seen their share of horror movies, it's all very familiar, but that doesn't mean it's not fresh or effective enough for younger viewers. Emelie Lindbolm directs from an adapted script based on Ingelin Angerborn's first novel in a trilogy, and Lindbolm is good at handling the child performers, getting believable, sympathetic performances from them. The film is incidentally at its best in the coming-of-age scenes, in which lead actress Wilma Lundgren provides Lindbolm with a beautiful, pensive and dependable camera rest. Unfortunately, the ending lets the film down and feels fraudulent, as the final five minutes are obviously used to prepare viewers for the next film in the trilogy.
