Back of the box:
Upon hearing that her birth mother has died, an American woman who was
raised by adoptive parents travels to her Russian homeland to take over
the family farm she inherited. But almost immediately upon arrival, she
senses that something is wrong -- and the plot thickens when she
discovers that she's not alone. Seeing ghosts takes on a whole new
meaning in this independent horror offering from Spanish director Nacho
Cerdà.

The Bloody Truth:
If all of the “8 horror movies to die for” could have been as good as The
Abandoned we would be in very good hands. This film from start to finish
is moody and atmospheric the story twist and turns almost constantly and
there is enough genuinely terrifying moments to satisfy the most calm of
horror fans.
While not wholly original (and that’s being pretty picky) the quality of the
film making shows through from the very start.
If you like haunted house stories with a little more meat on them then the
average Hollywood fare then this is your movie.
