What makes this film special is the music, it's superb. The whole film's like watching a 70-minute New Age video - beautiful countryside, a couple like a visual ballet, the great, old house and the music enveloping all. I don't know why they call it a 'horror', it's not. It's not even mildly scary, nor does it want to be. It's just a lovely tour of an old estate with a couple showing us what learning to be in love together feels like. There's no dialogue because there doesn't need to be any. I don't even think there's any metaphors. Just the beauty of the music, the two lovers, the surroundings, all evoking memories of places you may never even have been to. To me, it's a dream I'll revisit whenever real life squashes me. Thanks, Jared, for giving me such a beautiful thing. I hope others see it the way I do, for they're the ones you've made it for.
