Take out "perhaps" and I agree. The genuinely nightmarish opening managed to freak out my youngest son when I first showed it to him (it does feel very much like a bad dream), and the denouement is so much more sinister, like the revenge of some kind of occult secret society. So much more atmospheric than the Branagh version.
