The Abandoned


2.5 out of 5 Stars
This one of the more solid 'After Dark Horrorfest - 8 Films to Die For' films. It was well directed and had a semi interesting premise. The image of the old Russian house was arresting and the idea of being haunted/stalked by a ghost of yourself is not only unique but existentially scary. I think with a few more more script rewrites this could have really had some depth and substance. But the middle part dragged and the director threw in too many sequences of the female protagonist wandering the house and the woods. And the ending was rather silly.
