Wow, this movie is a hidden gem. Wasn't sure about it when I started as I am not the biggest supernatural horror fan, but this movie is so beautiful and haunting. The cast is amazing, the cinematography is pretty good, and the story is heart-wrenching. Definitely give this one a try!

This one broke my heart 5 years ago. Time to do break it again. Fantastic movie, incredible hard to watch. I cried on that one harder than during my divorce.
