Years after seeing his twin sister die, and her ghost transported to a dark forest, Walter Gilman vows to get her back.
I was so excited to see this story adapted, and was even more excited when I saw Rupert Grint's name appear, I figured for him to feature that it was going to be something special.
Sadly this came as something of a disappointment, I was expecting something bleak and macabre, but was instead faced with something a little more Alice in Wonderland.
Some things worked, the visuals, the acting, Grint in particular was great, and there was some atmosphere.
Sadly there were more detractors, the story itself just didn't work on any horror level, it lacked tension, it lacked excitement, it needed to be more bleak. Pacing was poor, it was just too pedestrian, the script was distinctly average, at times if felt a little amateur.
The biggest disappointment so far this series, this was the one I had high hopes for, 5/10.
