About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody, low-budget holiday-tinged horror mystery with an asylum angle and messy intrigue; Not for you if you need clear plotting, polished production, or steady pacing like in The Grudge 3.
Pros: eerie wintry atmosphere; creepy phone calls; grisly kills | Cons: confusing storyline; uneven acting; very dark visuals
