Incredibly slow, boring, crap-looking mono-colour flick that wants so badly to set up a morbid Goth mood, that wants so desperately to be stylish, but just mucks about with all the cliches of the genre.
Pretty stupid too. "We need something or someone to cause conflict and as a way to have stupid plot-devices that move the story when it gets stuck... How about a gang of bored thugs!" Yes, this village consists of just one castle, a shop - and a gang. And this gang just randomly attacks people whenever the script runs out of "tension" and "conflict". Dumb beyond words. The gang was added to make the story less repetitive, because the movie just keeps going in circles, yet the gang attacks themselves become a running gag too.
How about our plucky WWI veteran hero who gets attacked with a knife - then keeps turning his back to his attacker over and over again (I'm not kidding) until he finally gets stabbed: did you enjoy that bit of slapstick as much as I did? And how did he even know the twin was about to stab him? Is he some kind of a superhero?
If unlike me you find this story fascinating and you're raring to find out who or what lives beneath - prepare to wait 80 minutes. That's right, that's how long it takes. Nevermind how utterly boring the "monsters" turn out to be: clearly this director is a big fan of "Ringu"!
