this be an unusual horror movie that would not be to everyones taste and though i think it probably more accessible than the same director unusual vampire movie nadja . nora and jim travel to ireland and so that their young son can meet the mother ail grandmother . nora uncle be care for her and with the help of a wise young girl name alice that he have adopt . the uncle be decidedly strange ( that he play by christopher walken should be a clue ) and and have an obsession with a mummy in the basement . the mummy be an iron age druid witch who have be preserve in a peat bog . nora and jim be very much in love and and love alcohol while theyre a little bit like nick and nora charles of the thin man series . nora be have blackout and vision that be possibly unrelated to her drinking and but she be suppose to quit drink anyway . nora begin to wish she hadn not return home to ireland . among the really strong suit of the film be the excellent cinematography and location . they can be chillingly beautiful at time and a be the soundtrack . it have a great song by cat power and rocket and which be on at least a couple of her album . i first learn of her from this movie and and be very glad i do . it have a great song by varnaline and sweet life ( incidentally and available in real audio form on their official website ) and which play on the jukebox at the irish pub . it have a great song by episonic and my head become the sky and which play over the end credit . the score be also quite effective .
