This Swedish Indie feature centers around Krister, a man who is left to raise a newborn baby whilst coping with a teenage daughter who blames him for the recent death of his wife on a car crash. In the midst of his family falling apart, Krister suffers sleep paralysis and gradually becomes convinced (with the help of his daughter's ghost hunter boyfriend) that it may be the work of a Mare that is haunting him for 'some reason'.
Not bad but this is more of a slow burn psychological-family drama than a horror story. The few ghostly encounters of the Mare, comes almost vaguely but I think the same thing is better suited for someone like J-Horror master Takashi Shimizu who could treated the same story in a more creepier fashion (at the same time maintaining the drama part nicely) as an episode of a TV series or anthology.
