Jack travels to New Zealand for the funeral of his mother, who abandoned him as a child. There he meets Jill, who he hopes will give him the answers he seeks. But the ghost of his mother appears and inhabits them, putting them in danger.
“Went Up a Hill is, after all, a ghost story, but one shaped in a fresh and artful way by a director who, in his second film, already has the control of a master.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“The second feature from the New Zealand-born director Van Grinsven, the film is ferociously atmospheric, exquisitely creepy and languid to the point of obsession.” – The Wrap
