OK, I love a film that tries to do something different and something that will not only entertain the viewer but will also create a lasting chill down their spine as they recall scenes. Upon the original read of this titles blurb I thought that it would partly be a modern interpretation on the themes of the Wicker Man and when added to a cast list that looked pretty decent left me with the impression that it was going to be an incredible film.
Alas it wasn't the case. The plot line was a little flimsy, the events within too much of a religious fervour and to be honest it grasped at straws as things that could have been done very well were only half baked. The script felt stinted in places and with a quality writer like Anthony Horrowitz on board I had expected more and yet there were places where it felt that is writing came to the fore within the explanations from the art historian. Add to this that I also felt that the time of the release could have been better concerning the events within due to an on-going Coroners Investigation and the creators could have been more sympathetic.
All in it was an OK film but with the cast they had when backed with the writer it should have been so much more.

I really enjoyed this film . Made on the Isle of Man which doubles for west country England.
I enjoyed the unfolding story which though fairly fantastical did offer a different take on old religious ideas.
As horrors go it was moderately intelligent and through the eyes of the young female lead (Ricci) we take a journey which engages the viewer as it unfolds . I give this a four star rating (just). If, like me you prefer British made films
and are willing to suspend belief for an hour and half you might enjoy this too.

Interesting idea that's basicly about curiosity and the consequences,or at least that's the way i saw it. Christina Ricci gives another fine preformance as a girl run over and taken in by the woman who ran her over and her kids,including her seemingly disturbed son. Ricchi's character gets disturbing visions of brutal deaths and also a feeling something isn't right around this place. A church,twice buried becomes a concern for some when 2 young lovers fall into it,killing them off early in the movie. It's a weird movie that slowly starts making sense and has some really good ideas for a story about religion,curiosity and a little spookiness thrown in. Don't get fooled by the front cover thinking it's going to be a gory and scary horror movie,it isn't,it just has a few moments of gore. It isn't what i'd call a horror,it's just a little chilling i suppose,in that there's some odd goings on in this place,but as i say when the story of Ricchi's chracter,the church and religious history comes together,it's a really interesting film. Not brilliant,but well worth a watch if you can get your head around it.
