After Egyptian artifacts arrive at the Louvre, a high-tech scan of an ancient sarcophagus unleashes a restless spirit that slips into the museum’s electrical system.

About
You may enjoy this if you want a mild, old-fashioned supernatural adventure set in a famous museum, with more mystery-chasing than intense horror; Not for you if you need big scares, tight plotting, or polished effects like The Watchers.
Pros: Louvre setting and atmosphere; light scares with humor; some likable characters | Cons: weak, meandering story; uneven tone and tension; dated-looking effects
