I feel a bit mixed about this. I liked how there was spooky goings on all the way through but it just doesn't gel together into a really good film. Instead it's just decent and I wanted to like it more since I love a good ghost story. It lacks suspence but not good ideas. Could of been better but not bad.

I was expecting a pretty cliche ghost film (not necessarily a bad thing, I love ghost movies) and planned to watch half of it then the rest tomorrow, however the plot was intriguing enough to force me to watch the whole thing in one go. A few creepy parts, jumpscares that were quite clever and didn't feel like they were just there for the sake of a cheap scare, and a very twisty story. The acting was great; Sean Harris entertained whenever he was on screen, as usual. Jessica was also brilliant.
