My quick rating - 6,8/10. Behold the fear of the dark. Many people have it and will identify with that. I assume not so many have had to deal with this level of phobia. The setup is introduced quickly so me telling you a spirit that only appears in the dark and vanishes in the light is no spoiler. Just that this particular ghost kills anyone that threatens her. With that being said, the stage is set to scare the crap out of the viewer at any given moment making an 81-minute movie fly by. The director (if you saw the short film on "The Fear" TV show from England) took his 5-minute idea and blew it up into a full-length scarefest. To take that simple idea and incorporate the actual anxiety of psychological issues people have into horror was done quite well. Kinda reminded me of "The Babbadook" in that aspect. The eerie-looking ghost of "Diana" was creepy looking throughout even in the dark. The lighting, of course, is critical in this movie. Each flicker of light, or dark space is a key part of the film and if it wasn't done properly, would ruin scene after scene. The good news is this did not happen. Every bit of attention was given to this detail as good directors will do. Such was the case with "Crawl or Die" and countless other well-crafted films like this one. Suggesting to turn off the lights and watch this next to your loved one goes without saying but I would shoe the kids out of the room unless you want to be awoken when they have nightmares. A very good film with a powerful ending that may leave you a bit surprised. Enjoy
