My thoughts: The cinematography appealed to me the most out of this film. It reminded me of The Wolfman. Eerie, atmospheric, with a score to add to the aesthetic appeal. The story dragged. At times it picked up but in general it was slow moving. I fell asleep twice and finally finished it. The ending seemed rushed, ironically. Overall, from an artistic stand point the cinematography is worth the watch but would I recommend this... no, not really.
Final Score: 4/10 overall and 9.5/10 for the cinematography and setting-- Morgana
