A Deceptively Brilliant Paranormal Horror Tale...
The intro attempts to do is best at keeping you overloaded with unrelated scenes, and then follow up with hints as to something all together not good going on either in the background or in the past.
The story is slowly evolving, and there is a shadowy strangeness unfolding for our main character. Only now am I coming to the realization, that what appears in the shadows might just be happening, and is likely much more than I could imagine.
The nature in which the story has finally evolved is incredibly reminiscent of 60s horror tales, but this is engaging like not many before. I'm rather pleased that our primarily actor is no longer going about this alone anymore, and in not sure even others will be able to resolve the mishaps of the past.
Such Horrendously Vile circumstances were unveiled, and somehow a rather Beautiful story developed and brought a smile to my face at its conclusion.
