This could have been a decent story, but was under-developed and wastes the audiences time. It starts out interesting enough, with Mira Sorvino as an introverted writer, returning to a deserted cabin she grew up in. The photography is good, and a bit intriguing. Soundtrack reminiscent of a twilight zone episode of foreboding.
Enter Justin Kirk the boyfriend. He wants to be there for her, but she is preoccupied. Seems an evil spirit is influencing her to discard the boyfriend. A victim of childhood abuse, she now obsesses on the fact that all men will be the same, the relationship will not work.
There is a brief accident wherein the boyfriend almost falls off a cliff, the engagement ring he has for her is temporarily lost.
The "staring spirit" in limbo who resides in the house is apparently prey for the evil spirit.
Overall, if the characters were more developed this story could have worked, but we do not relate to this odd assembly of characters with no name.
Too many cheap plots revolving around God and miracles lately, and the other film I viewed with this was "The Visitation" with Kelly Lynch and a town that sees Jesus. Cheap and obvious story lines. The audience deserves better. That said this film is okay and better than "The Visitation" as it doesn't go over the top with hysteria and science fiction. Recommended if you are bored. 6/10.
