About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a straightforward supernatural Halloween mystery with jump scares and a folklore hook; Not for you if you need truly original, consistently scary horror or hate familiar beats like in Incarnate or The Silence.
Pros: creepy Halloween setup; eerie folklore mystery; a few tense moments | Cons: predictable story beats; uneven scares; drifts into blandness
