The movie is not a ghost story but is quite intriguing. It explores the morals of sexual behavior in Victorian England and the main character Constance who after a difficult childbirth is discouraged by her doctor's to have any more children even to go as far as not having sex at all. Its seems she slowly goes insane but very overprotective to- words her daughter. She sees germ like creatures floating around her daughter's room which only she can see and almost burns down her house trying to destroy them. Is it the guilt of not having a sexual relationship with her husband that driving her to invent these creatures? It is a very strange movie which you're going to enjoy or hate I personally enjoyed it. Constance's final act of madness in which she makes love on the bed with the creature ends in her husband's death. It's not a fast paced movie but you do get caught up in the life of Constance and her slow descent into madness or another scenario can she actually see the germ like creature and nobody else can, you'll have to decide.
