By the end, you may not know whether you've seen a ghost story or a story of delusional obsession, but you'll have had a great time.

The acting is serviceable and primarily of the stare-until-you're-uncomfortable variety, although Rampling is much more than that: She's a classic screen temptress with the aura of a melancholy spider.

Holds enough interest throughout to keep you entertained -- unless you're afraid of mice.

Lemming does possess a mordant humor as it watches characters spin out of control. But the payoff is slight.

The second half of the movie squanders suspense and momentum, solving its riddles by deflating them.
