3.0

An atmospheric, compelling mystery with character peculiarities that almost make up for an easily solvable crime and artificial, unnecessary roadblocks in the plot. Despite its shortcomings, it was creepy enough that I lost most of one night of sleep because of it, and I mean that as a compliment. (I would really grade this a 3.5 or 3.75, but can't quite give it a 4.)
