It's the story of that woman who works as a photographer (Abby Corniche), where she is in a failed marriage and still suffers from a severe loss of memory after a painful accident. It is the real tragedy that a woman experiences as she tries to control her life. Now, they must face a mysterious latent power and struggle with the past that is still chasing them from everywhere and perhaps it will be very difficult.
"Lavender" means well, but it ultimately proves that not all ghosts need a backstory. Often, just being scary - even inexplicably - is more important than being meaningful.
[Abbie] Cornish's strong performance [...] serves as an anchor that keeps this slow-burn thriller [...] from wearing out its welcome before the third-act revelations.
As old-fashioned as Hitchcock's Spellbound, Lavender presents the unlocking of suppressed horrors as a freeing experience, without the messiness of further analysis.
The screenplay, co-written by Gass-Donnelly with Colin Frizzell, manages to be simultaneously lacking in coherence and utterly predictable, with viewers earning no points for guessing which one of the characters turns out to be the villain.
