Reviews:
” …looks to BBC TV’s Ghostwatch for its suburban thrills – the director has even stolen that programme’s subversive behind the curtains stunt – and as the camera moves stealthily around the house, the viewer is constantly on the lookout for something supernatural at the edge of the frame, catching little details like upturned crosses and mysterious messages.” David Dent, Dark Eyes of London
“Although it dilutes its impact by showing too much too soon and overdoing the foreboding music score, this modest, largely two-handed, one-location film mostly avoids the cheap scares beloved of its American contemporaries and doesn’t overplay the creepy-doll shtick.” Steven West, Horrorscreams Videovault
Filming locations:
Haringey, North London, UK
