The beginning is unnecessarily hard to follow with non chronological sequences, but it settles after a while once we're into the main story + main flashback. It then turns into pretty classic horror setup: there's something nasty going on with the water and walls in the house and there's a "sick mother" locked in the attic. Surprise (not): she's possessed and the girl taking care of her is a kind of guardian.
Even if it seems quite classic, it's well done, the atmosphere is good, the interaction between the main characters too. It takes a little long to finally get the relevance of the flashbacks and even more for the link to the title amulet that is randomly found in the beginning.
Final twist is nice, it also immediately makes sense, so the the added flashbacks as Tomaz realizes what happened are useless and a little annoying. The feminist vengeance message is not particularly subtle but it works, in a very harsh_there can be no forgiveness_ way.
Despite the few clearly visible beginner mistakes it's worth the watch, maybe not the rewatch though.
