I'm not a big fan of horror films any more but I do like TV shows like Penny Dreadful and I was hoping for something in that vein. This film is not that. The two highpoints of the the film are the initial romantic relationship between Joseph and Constance Barton and then the brief part of the film when Anne Montague enters the story and her relationship with Constance. Both these parts of this film give hope that you may see a terrifying fall from grace or a total downward spiral into madness from any of the characters. Instead our punishment as the audience is boredom.
On a Victorian theme to sum this whole movie up....its like looking at a really nice Christmas Tree with really authentic decorations only to realise the actual tree itself is just a cheap plastic mock up.
