"This is a quietly creepy apocalyptic ghost movie that scared the cr*p out of me (and given my horror-film-watching background THAT doesn't happen very often). No violence, no gore... just loads of atmosphere and deeply frightening implications. It's also very smart and metaphorically resonant. A great horror film! We're not talking 'shock' tactics or cats jumping out of cupboards here either..."
