Poor movie with a fairly good concept.

There is too much exposition from the narrator to start with. Too much repetition.
The idea of a dead person talking to someone is a very good one and could have been treated in a much more subtle manner. No need to say "I was lonely" 500 times. It only takes 1 to understand that she died a lonely person. It takes all the momentum from the ending.

The camera following was quite interesting. Though at sometimes quite amatourish. Also theres a part where the camera is shooting at the closed door for way longer than it should. And that shot goes nowhere. It needed some reasonable resolution.

The whole "ghostly presence" thing only had one good moment: when the little statue apeared behind the man in the basement, but again, no resolution for that shot either [ie, the motif didn't continue].

There's a lot of walking around to reach nowhere.

The "visiting man" had no resolution at all.

As for the "dark creature": If the creature was the embodiment of the woman's loneliness in her later days in life, it makes little sense for the man as a child to be haunted by it. It would have worked quite beautifully if there was a moment in which all the "no resolution" moments came to one brief shot/movement related to the woman, and not to the man. After all, the man is there only to give some weight to the dead woman's narrative.

To sum it up, it lacks many things that would make it a great movie. Desperation, Depression, Opression. Everything related to loneliness and old-age.

All these things aside, there are some good things about it. The props seemed somewhat overbearing, but I do know some people who's homes are filled with them to the roof. And, to be honest, some of those props were really good and added to the ambience.

The dark creature is well made [except it's shadow]
