Based on a hit YA novel, this Austrian film relocates teenager Hendrik, his little brother and his mother from the city to a sleepy insular lakeside town where he faces not only the challenges of hostile local youths and unreliable wi-fi but also an emerging haunting of their new home from spirits of an event from its tragic past. The film is capably put together and played, it is not remotely scary (which may explain Netflix's retitling to 'strange') and the scenery is absolutely stunning - just don't expect anything surprising or too thrilling, although the third act brings everything together well.
