About
You may enjoy this if you like moody, PG-13 supernatural scares and closet-and-darkness dread, similar to Ouija or The Possession; Not for you if you want fast pacing, clear answers, or consistently intense scares.
Pros: creepy, dreary atmosphere; strong opening setup; some interesting visuals | Cons: slow, uneven pacing; thin, messy story; scares don’t land
