Liked that the movie was different


I was pleasantly surprised. It was an interesting approach to a ghost story. Not really a horror movie but creepy and unsettling. Loved how the frontier women were portrayed. They looked like they were real and you could see the suffering and hard life that seem to make them a touch insane and zealots.

The ghost was magnetic and pulled me into his life story and the script did a good job of uncovering the many layers of ghastly tragedy that seem to mark each character. The main character Klem was acted very movingly. It was good to see a character that really grew and changed. She started a hard ass cold blooded killer who only wants vengence and then became a very vulnerable heart broken woman when her story is told and finally she becomes at peace with her lot in life and seems to have really been changed by her experiences in the movie. The actress did a good job.

It was complex and not predictable or something I had seen before. Although the story stumbled at times and the pace in the middle could have been better, I can honestly say it was one of the most interesting and captivating movies I have seen in a long time.

I went in expecting a stinker, I was surprised to like it quite a bit. I loved the score for the movie the most. Pretty wild and disturbing (imagery) end. I think they did pretty good with this film, I gave it a 7 star rating.



I climbed through the window of this fly ass crib!..... It was full of sammiches!
