Aroview: Ghostly tale in the classic tradition of Henry James, conjuring a spectral fog of unease from a gaunt mansion on the island of Jersey in 1945, presided over by a morbidly religious Nicole Kidman.
Due to a rare medical condition her two children must not be exposed to sunlight, and thus the world of family and servants is shadowed by ever-drawn curtains and locked doors, out of which the children see (or imagine?) menacing ‘others’. Despite a slow start, impressive style eventually succumbs to substance with a satisfying series of twists.

3 stars (Good Enough) Henry James meets Shyamalan in this tale of twists and turns, constantly reminding us that the less we see, the creepier each moment becomes. ~Tom H
3 stars (Good Enough) Set during World War II, a woman and her photosensitive children live in a darkened mansion believing their home is haunted. Impressive enough psychological horror. ~GenXGirl
4 stars (Very Good) ~JohnSpecialK
