What I think what really impressed me about this was that the ending, while perhaps a bit overdone, actually wrapped the story up quite well - I'm typically suspicious of "twists," but it really worked well here. Nice slow-burner.
I really liked that one too although i thought certain aspects of it could've been better. The scary atmosphere was done really well though and i definitely agree with you on the comparision to Woman in Black and The Others.
