As she haunts his every move, trying to reach her mother from beyond, Ivy must dig deep to see the signs and prove that love won’t stay buried.

It’s a nicely economical tale of supernatural vengeance that benefits from its small scale and lived-in atmospherics. - 58
The Film Stage
While Poser and Adams do so much to overcome the production’s limitations, they unavoidably show through nonetheless.
