Gore Verbinski makes the film look good - a creepy setting, the right atmosphere, hell, even Dane DeHaan is better than I've ever seen him - but the main issue I have is that the pacing is terrible. I think at least 40 minutes could have been cut and made for a much better experience. Otherwise this Gothic-lite tale is really good and effectively icky and deserves better than the reception is got at the box office.
