About
You’ll like this psychological ghostly mystery if you enjoy slow-burn distrust and surprise turns; Not for you if you want nonstop scares or fully original suspense, and it may feel similar to The Skeleton Key or The Grudge.
Pros: strong central performance; haunting family mystery; lingering suspense | Cons: predictable mystery beats; too much dialogue; uneven menace
