An interesting backdrop and plot, Travis Fimmel acts his part well adding a touch of class that exposes some of the others.
The character Hazel is written in such an annoying manner, I learn't to really dislike her and wanted to skip her angry monologues.
The scenery is spectacular and technically this is a good production, in 2 other areas though it falls down.
The big one is the support actors, keen to be 'good' they way over act, their movements are too fluid and their speech is wooden, some of the lines are delivered like bricks being dropped from a second story, at times it is like one big Year 12 play.
Next is the occasionally bizarre soundtrack, the 'spooky' music is overdone and every now and then a noise just occurs against the vibe of a scene, it's an attempt to jolt the viewer (I think) but often it just sounds odd and amateurish.
