A very powerful existentialist horror film that captures the emotions and doesn't let go. Seldom does any film tackle the questions of life and death, the nature of existence, and the limits of humanity but this motion picture does so unflinchingly. The way director Brian Yuzna realizes John Penny's moving screenplay is incredibly well done. Longing, mourning, and the terrible pain of loss is eloquently conveyed and the young cast is more than capable in their respective roles. It is particularly strong when depicting the lengths that true love will drive one to in order to cling to the beloved in any circumstances. The tragic aspects of obsession are beautifully done and the balance between hope and tragedy is stunning in its intensity. A fine performance by Kent McCord as the father is something to pay close attention to. An unusual and deeply moving film that will leave audiences disturbed yet incredibly touched by what they have seen.
