             Pete (Brody) a psychologist, and his wife have lost their daughter. Pete gradually realizes that the patients he’s now seeing are all dead, and they all died on the same day, in his home town. He goes back to solve the mystery and rid himself of the ghosts.

            Brody is the master of the tortured suffering soul and he carries this off admirably as always. It’s just a ghost story but clever, atmospheric, gloomy and mysterious.

            One of the better psychological thrillers I’ve seen lately.
