Directed

Cerda
A
very
engrossing
ghostly
tale
set
in
Russia.
A
woman
from
the
States
returns
to
her
parental
home
where
tragedy
left
her
an
orphan.
With
a
daughter
of
her
own,
she
travels
back
solo
after
many
decades
to
not
only
claim
the
inherited
deteriorated
house,
but
also
to
face
her
past
and
come
to
grips
with
the
horror
left
behind.
What
she
finds
is
a
dark,
evil
place
that
won’t
let
her
go.
Not
knowing
anything
about
her
past,
the
bloody
and
deadly
truth
soon
seeps
from
the
dilapidated
walls
of
the
farmhouse
where
another
apparent
sibling
also
arrives.
Together
they
become
trapped
by
the
dark
forces
hovering
over
the
house.
With
a
foreboding
atmosphere
and
some
scary
moments,
The
Abandoned
is
more
of
a
psychological
experience
than
a
splatterfest
–
although
there
are
moments
of
blood
and
intensity.
A
very
moody
and
timely
film,
co-written
by
South
African
born
Richard
Stanley
who
made
Hardware
and
Dust
Devil.
