Peter Bradshaw Guardian 05/01/2019
3/5
An intriguing work, modestly and intelligently conceived, a supernatural melodrama characterised by an eerie sort of restraint. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 02/08/2019
The picture's a pleasure to watch throughout, largely because of Eilean Shona. Go to Full Review

Low-budget earnest but bland attempt at a horror/suspense thriller that just can't overcome a stale, predictable and unimaginative plot. Go to Full Review

An eerie and unnerving drama Go to Full Review

nick s Oct 23 Acting and cinematography were okay but I really wasn't hooked. Started to lose interest and switched off. See more Jack S 05/26/2024 The gorgeous cinematography of a lonely Scottish island is the one and only asset in this otherwise forgettable, low-budget ghost story. There are unfortunately no particularly scary nor suspenseful moments generated by the weak story or, by the exceptionally dull cast of characters—of which sadly no one is interesting enough for the audience to care about. See more Keith H 11/15/2022 Takes a Greek myth and bores you too death with it See more 09/20/2021 The film does a good job of conveying the foreboding mood, and desolation of the island. The plot is interesting, and the acting is good for the first three quarters of the film. Sadly, as more is revealed as to what is at the heart of the film's plot. The acting, because of the director(?), became more "wooden" and of less quality. Overall, it is a good film considering its limited cast of actors, and probable low budget. See more Jesse D 09/17/2021 A silly, lame, predictable horror movie. I bet theres been 700 movies with the same plot rehashed over and over since victorian times. See more @c0urtn3y 07/25/2021 ugh; i agree with the other reviewers. this was boring AF - how did it get such good reviews? in it's defense i did fall asleep for most of it, so there could've been some parts that were worth watching, but i don't plan on rewatching to find out.
