Deeply irritating marital squabbles pad out a 22 minute stage play to a 90 minute paint dryer.
What starts as a Don't look now style ghost story (despite apparently being written before) quickly degenerates into a TV movie proto Shining about a sexed up joyless marriage with an obnoxious chauvinist and his long suffering victim. The transition from 35mm to video is a commencement marker of the absence of drama and intrigue as the turgid middle section endlessly repeats the same drama again and again. And again. Yes there are some smarts but its stretched so wafer thin to be rendered inconsequential.
Until the climactic reveal (maybe surprising in its day) finally puts this sick animal out of its misery with an obvious twist.
