Trending Position
Decent enough supernatural-thriller that in the hands of someone like Guillermo del Toro probably would've been great, instead kind of plods along even with a short running time (~85 min.), however I did like the lead actress Freya Tingley as a fresh face. There are some creepy elements here and ... there and the finale was a tad off with some subpar visual effects, yet still had some chilling spots. I would say it's worth renting, though I had interest as I do like the violin so I guess it might've held a tad more interest because it's central to the plot. **3.0/5** Not sure if this was Rutger Hauer's last released film, but he's not in it a whole lot.
