A gorgeous and haunting horror drama with an unexpected level of emotional heft. The film expertly combines emotional family drama with eerie Irish folklore and tackles the subject of mental health in a sensible and effective way. Very impressive, especially for a first feature. It aims for emotion more than scares, though there are some good ones, and combine it with such an effective atmosphere of creeping dread that reels you in deeper and deeper. The emotional resonance really hits thanks to the compelling characters and storytelling. Performances are exceptional across the board, but special mention must go to Hazel Doupe. Overall, I'm very impressed by this, plus taking place during Halloween season is always a plus.
