About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like haunted-house stories built on steady tension and mystery rather than gore, especially if The Orphanage or 1408 worked for you; Not for you if you want fast pacing or graphic horror.

Pros: creepy atmosphere; strong lead performance; tense mystery | Cons: slow pacing; subdued scares; gloomy tone
