“Lavender” (*1/2 out of four) was a dreary horror melodrama about a young woman (Abby Cornish) who loses her memory after a sudden car accident; her psychiatrist (Justin Long) then suggests she visit her childhood home for mental clarity but naturally this turns out to be a very bad idea as she starts having hallucinations and paranoia. Director Ed Gass-Donnelly shows a flair for mood and atmosphere but unfortunately it’s wasted on a story that plays like yet another dull remake of “The Shining” and “Paranormal Activity”. Cornish is good in the lead role but Long is miscast as her psychiatrist. Beautifully shot by Brendan Steacy
