Whether you'll be disappointed in the final outcome or not, I can't say for sure, because it can have various effects. For example, I really liked how it was skillfully handled. It's nothing groundbreaking, but for its time, it's all done believably and professionally, even though the film is otherwise quite small and focused mainly on interiors. Thanks to the good direction, a good atmosphere, and great Vincent, this film stands out.
