What I liked

The main actress was so crucial to pulling this off and she did great. If we didn’t believe her then we couldn’t stay invested in her story. She really helps sell our suspension of disbelief. I also really enjoyed the digital projection effects.

What I didn't like

Maybe just a bit more clarity on what may have happened back at her original home and then the very ending, which might help for patrons who have a tough time getting horror. I got it but I just wonder about those who might not be as into genre.

My overall impression

A very old school and ambitious approach to psychological horror. The visual effect of the wall itself never overwhelmed the story and the lead actress pulled off a very tricky role. I imagined watching this in black & white on Turner Classic Movies.
