The official synopsis is as follows ”Sybil works at an undertakers. It's a lonely job, with few perks. So she takes solace where she can.” I’m not going to say any more.
Rebecca Calder shines as Sybil a prim and proper young woman looking to find a place to call home. With her hair pulled back and erect posture she radiates an oddness that gets creepier and creepier as it goes. She is an interesting person who is clearly slipping and Calder keeps us watching even when we think we should look away.
She is so good that along with director Joanne Mitchell’s sense of story and of image that we are willing to go along with the story where ever it goes.
This is a super little thriller. Sure odds are you are going to know where this is going to go, but at the same time how the story unfolds and the craft of the film is so top shelf that you are happily going to ride this film into hell.
Highly recommended, especially if you love gothic horror.
Go buy some popcorn and go.
