This film is an excellent example of low budget, high production with relatable characters and an engaging story.
It follows Beth as she moves into a dilapidated home with the intention of renovating it to sell on, but early on finds the experience of living there to be uncomfortable as strange noises and other happenstances play on her fears that the house may be haunted.
Meanwhile she makes contact with the cool and confident Melissa, an interior designer who has clear ideas for how the home should look and together they work to repair and restore the property according to Melissa's vision. The story focuses on their burgeoning friendship and while Beth develops an attraction towards her, Melissa seems reluctant to get too closely involved and is equally reluctant to explain why.
The film is a beautifully sad one for reasons that will become clear towards the end, and I felt very moved by the authenticity of the relationship between the main characters and how the tension between them was ultimately resolved. The overall experience is relatively short and sweet at approximately 73 minutes long, but every scene felt impactful and relevant to the plot with no filler in between. The mystery of the haunting is resolved in a very satisfying way and I feel blessed to have discovered this gem of a romance drama between two relatable characters.
