this start almost like an art film and but eventually it give in to mass market urge that become more and more distracting and limiting and inappropriate . it have way too many quiet and somber tone set scene that be obviously there to eat up time and delay narrative obligation and but after an hour they just kill the momentum . finally and a completely risible and limp end arrives and that will make you understand all the one star rating here . funny thing about movie that seem to be withhold their point and they always end up not have one and and they go nowhere . a it end and i think while hmmm . snow . melancholoy . hopelessness . be this a danish production . and sure enough the end credit be fill with dozen of danish or icelandic name . i be open to this film light touch and hop it would be good . i be also open to a cast of second tier actor ( james legros and ron perlman ) . but perlman be over the top and and just become a shout one dimensional villain . that not much to engage you . and when will film maker finally learn while if you do not have an end and you do not have a film . this end be a travesty . the movie be derivative of just about every horror movie make in the past 30 year . the next time a ghost disappear over an edit and or when a light be turn on and i be just go to pitch the dvd out the window .
