Dealing with his mother's death is a tough proposition for Leon. But it's entering her foreboding estate, a museum of forgotten relics and strange artefacts that unravels her association with a little known cult. Cause of his greatest concern is the numerous statues of angels used as instruments of worship littered throughout the house and soon Leon comes into contact with a pair of creepy, gaunt twins connected to the cult, a videotape that may have captured a miracle, an unnerving neighbour and some demonic animal that keeps watch outside the house. A measured and unyielding dread builds as Leon is gradually enveloped by a mysterious dark world governed by the last will and testament of Rosalind Leigh. (Accent Film Entertainment)

I can glowingly recommend this film, even though it’s not for everyone (a religious theme, not very good effects and a slow pace). I loved how splendidly old-fashioned, proper and honest it looks. It has the atmosphere of a beautiful old house full of antiques; actually, it also has a pretty nice story, though quite intimate. And most importantly, I was really scared several times. Three and a half rounded up for an impressive feature début.
