It was an interesting approach to the gothic horror genre. I feel like the first half felt like it was geared towards a younger audience than I was expecting, and then it got very dark and adult. I wish it was eerier from the start, it just felt like everything was wrong and off from the get go. But I liked Noemi and Francis and overall I enjoyed the plot.
