SummaryReview
The character of the naif Eloise requires a bit of suspension of disbelief (not because of the acting which is fine), but if you can accept that, this is a well crafted and cleverly told horror-thriller. Neither very horrific, nor very thrilling, but an enjoyable ride through the stresses of both modern life for a young person in the city, and of the dark underside of the swinging sixties with it's deeply embedded sexist and mysoginistic attitudes.
A couple of good twists towards the end - the first to enable you to think "I knew that" and distract you from seeing the second until it is upon you.
All in all this is up there with the very best of the genre and thoroughly modern to boot.
