Movies about ghostly goings on can be tricky but what I really like about this story is that the tension is there right from the start and this builds slowly but steadily throughout to a surprising ending.
The cinematography is quite beautiful and I love the setting and the fact that the dialogue is really sparse.

Daniel Radcliffe spends a great deal of the movie on his own and he carries this really well.
He is very suited to serious and somewhat sad roles and I always find myself wanting him to be happy, which just proves what an impressive actor he is, especially when considering the amount of screen time he has had as Harry Potter; it's great seeing him become other characters.
He is definitely one of Britain's most talented young actors.
This is spooky, atmospheric and captivating with every scene. It might not be the scariest movie you'll ever see, but the acting by all is superb and this is a ghost movie that I'll be watching again and again...
