It took me a bit to get into the story but once it started going wow. The imagery is so tangible. The creepy factor is high but all of it feels very relevant to the story and the plot and not just there for shock. I absolutely loved the relationship that comes out of this and I feel like it's one of those rare ones that had such a solid build up and not just instalove. I would love to see this as a movie but I don't think I'd be able to sleep.
