This film is brilliant. A sad story about a couple who are murdered and the man comes back to revenge their murder. Takes a look at crime and the supernatural in a rough city in the United States. Also has elements of love, romance and friendship. A very emotion driven, spirtual film for occult lovers.
--Nancy Ferrinda, Resident Scholar
