5/10
There's no place like home

Warning: Spoilers
In 1986 Father Alister Burke (Lalor Roddy) paints a picture of young Siobhan Callahan in front of an old statue of the Virgin Mary (broken left hand, thumb missing on right). Overnight, Siobhan disappears in real life and from the painting. Pretty good Twilight Zone stuff. We then move to the present where diorama sculpturer Melanie Thomas has recreated the event. This leads to an invite by Father Burke, retired and a recluse except for his Lurch-like butler and Helena Bereen who runs the manor. Melanie is commissioned to make another diorama for a select group of old money buyers.

Melanie has bad dreams and visions and we see it coming. There wasn't any mystery or twist. The film moves slow. The characters were okay, but not great. Seems like someone found a great location to make a film and wrote a story for it.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
