Definitely a good drama but not a horror. Thought the ending was a bit of a yawn. 2.5/5 drama but a 1.5/5 horror.

I read this novel years ago and barely remember it, but this was a charming period piece set around the time the original was published. Some beautiful direction and camerawork, a riveting cast, a spellbinding score and a strange, compelling story all combine to make an eerie, whimsical, dark tale that is only slightly out of place here on Shudder. More a suspense movie than horror, but still thoroughly enjoyable.
