*Went Up The Hill* is a haunting psychological supernatural drama that explores grief, guilt, and the struggle to let go through restrained storytelling and a chilling atmosphere. Strong performances, evocative cinematography, and emotionally driven internal conflicts make the film deeply affecting, although a few narrative inconsistencies and a less satisfying ending slightly weaken its impact. Overall, it is a thoughtful and quietly powerful film that is worth recommending to viewers who appreciate slow-burning stories about loss and healing. by: alunauwie
