Underrated British ghost story, surprisingly well-written, and dense with a macabre atmosphere. Performances are very good all around, and the story is effectively eerie. Technically, it's a little rough around the edges, presumably due to the modest budget and the location shooting in India (in place of the UK). But the steady direction and intriguing story keep things moving right up to the haunting ending. Highly recommended. Co-written and directed by Stephen Weeks.
