Plot Summary:
A grieving couple travels to Venice after the death of their
young daughter, seeking solace and distraction. There, they
encounter two sisters, one of whom is psychic and offers a
message from the beyond about their daughter. The husband,
initially skeptical, begins to experience unsettling visions,
leading to a chilling and unforgettable climax.
Dad's Preview:
This film deals with grief and its effect on a marriage.
The mood of the film possesses a dread that is ever-present.
Through its characters, the young couple are led, finding only
clues to the next macabre discovery. You know something looms
ahead, and you don't want to see it. This film has one hell of an ending,
and that you will never see
coming.
