A fashion model moves into a house inhabited (on the top floor) by a blind priest. She begins having strange physical problems, has trouble sleeping at night, and has some nasty flashbacks of her attempted suicide. She complains to the real estate agent of the noise caused by her strange neighbours, but finds out that the house is only occupied by the priest and herself, and ultimately discovers that she has been put in the house for a reason. (Final Cut Entertainment)

Excellent occult horror, the comparisons with Rosemary’s Baby are not as exaggerated as they may seem. It has a very slow pace, until the very end there is only one memorable scary scene, but a very nasty one at that. The last 10 minutes, on the other hand, I would have no problem including them in the list of the best horror scenes ever. PS: I have a strong suspicion that the creators of the recent House of the Devil got most of their inspiration from this film.

This is a very good horror film that may not have an outright original theme (Rosemary's Baby has a very similar feel, for example), but still manages to captivate the viewer with its bizarreness and strangeness that winds its way through the entire film from beginning to end, which is actually very good in its insanity. I had uncomfortable feelings from this film.
