An original take on a ghost story

This is a ghost story told from the viewpoint of a ghost. It is very slow, and that is because that's how the ghost sees it, remembers it (IMO). This movie isn't for everyone, but if you like ghost stories, puzzle movies, having to think and notice small details, if you like gothic, you may like this. I loved it. It got under my skin, so that I saw it three times. I finally began to understand it. If you watch it, notice how she's dressed when she 1st arrives, how the narrator knows who she is because she has a name tag, not because she recognizes herself. Consider the ending and whether what happens was intentional or not. The movie was not what I thought it was at first, a simply somewhat spooky movie. The "rot" language didn't end up meaning what I thought it meant. I watched and re-watched this slow moving ghost story, and noticed more things, small things. Excellent original movie by Netflix. Touche', Netflix! I recommend this movie for those who like these subtle, intricate ghost stories with darkness and shadows and silence. Think Edgar Allen Poe, only slower. Like The Innocents, The Others, etc.
