It had great potential, but the second half of the film is so flawed. Specially the last 20 minutes it's like one non sense plot twist after the other. The structure of the movie is pretty interesting, the use of flashbacks a bit artsy, but the script just rips itself apart on not deciding what is the source of the horror.
