This film will feel very familiar due to an overused theme (grief). If you can somehow get around that...you may enjoy this. Beautifully filmed (CGI cemetery was weird though) and the acting was solid all around. Atmospheric, but not particularly frightening. Not a fast moving film, but no noticeable filler. I can't think of a reason not to recommend this. Might pair nicely with Wake Wood (2009) for a double feature and exercise in contrast and comparison.

Variation of common horror theme holds it's own. Better than most.
Took the long way
It was a mix up of the uninvited, rosemarys baby and a few others. Very lengthy for the explanation and when its explained it felt really forced. Not alike an aha moment just, like ok, I guess thats plausible. It would have been better if you didnt want to smack the kid the entire time. The child's character is rude, creepy, and has zero redeeming qualities. Who doesnt want to hear a 6 year old screaming at the top of his lungs, bossing his mother around? It was not worth a second watch for sure.
Seen it All Before
My wife and I watched this in Shudder as she's a big Discovery of Witches fan and Teresa Palmer was in this. Unfortunately this was a mash up of several other films, with The Omen, Midsommar and Rosemary's Baby springing to mind, but without being anywhere near as good.
Palmer does a lot of the heavy lifting, and does reasonably well with quite thin material. The reveal was unsatisfactory, with a character basically reading the exposition.
On the whole, added nothing new to the genre.
