Summary
A homeless man employed as a handy man for a church property begins to worry about the old woman dying in the attic.
This film has some interesting ideas but the ending stops it from coming together into anything interesting. At times this film could be called almost experimental in style as it messes about with sub-genre tropes in order to try and produce something new and fresh.
I would argue that the film does manage to do that, however, rather than riding off into the sunset the film gives us an ending that feels subversive. Now this is a risky gambit, it could work well or it could ruin the film and sadly it is the latter here. The ending proves to be a moral lesson and flips everything we know about the character, yet does so without very much set up making it feel quite jarring.
Overall, there are some good scares here and it does feel fresh, sadly the ending just didn’t work for me.
3/5
