I had this movie on my list for a while, but was in no rush to view it for fears it was going to be boring. And while it most certainly had a slow pace, it leaned much more towards tension building over boring.
The story is quite straightforward and one could pretty much give a full synopsis in one sentence. While it had a slow pace and not all that much happened, it was so atmospheric and captivating that it made up for its shortcomings. The acting was fine, not all that much dialogue happening here but everyone did their job. The boy with the port wine birthmark did particularly well.
With a little more story and the pace picked up a tad I think this could have been something great, but as is it lands slightly above average. Would recommend.
