This film chills with ideas and suggestions more than with visuals and gore or straight action.
The director, IMO, does a great job with a modest budget and pulls out a bag full of skillful director's tricks (lighting, camera angles, shadows, color variations, etc) to achieve his ends. When there is an effect, it happens in shadowy spots of the screen image, reinforcing a spooky ambiance in the film.
One of the best low-budget/minimal-FX films I've seen in years.
It worked for me.
My hat is off to the director/writers and actors for a job well done.
