A teenaged girl seems haunted after a series of bad events in this psychological thriller. While babysitting the son of her vilified next-door neighbor, the boy mysteriously dies. In an effect that seems natural and accidental, wind often rustles leaves in this film to somewhat magical effect, giving an ominous atmosphere. Using hares as a metaphor for innocence and fear, the film twists and turns to a slightly unsatisfying conclusion. However, I really enjoyed the lush, organic cinematography filled with earthy decay, and the disquieted performance of the lead actress.
