y. It mixes the set-up of “Rosemary’s Baby” with the spooky tone and muddled storytelling of “Nomads,” along with bits of “The Seventh Sign” and “The Wicker Man.” Unfortunately, it’s the least of these because it’s the least compelling and the last act leaves too many questions, but I was able to figure things out after getting help online. I usually like challenging films that make you put the pieces of the puzzle together, but I just didn’t find this one absorbing enough, although the locations and mood are great.

The movie runs 1 hour, 29 minutes, and was shot in Cornwall and London, England. GRADE: C
