Another loser from Del Toro, whose films are visually lush but narratively too spare and unsatisfying. No real suspense or surprise here. No scares, and no edge. As always, Del Toro is in love with the reflection of what he envisions, and attacks everything from the wrong angle.
A completely unsatisfying movie. Watch a Val Lewton picture instead.

Always love something with a historical time period and this is very much a ghostly horror with a different twist and not something you will see much of again.

It's a beautifully shot movie, but the twist is obvious, and the characters are pretty shallow. Worth watching once if you like stories with ghosts, but not much in the way of scares as advertised (I blame the marketing team, not the film maker).
