About
You’ll likely enjoy this moody, old-school ghost story if you like creature-feature scares and eerie dread; Not for you if you want subtle horror, tight explanations, or consistently scary thrills from start to finish, like The Grudge 2 or Incarnate.
Pros: moody ghostly atmosphere; creepy Tooth Fairy; strong lead | Cons: uneven second half; confusing plot; too much indoors
