Viewing Notes

A nice creepy ghost tale the way they used to make them! A few jump scares, combined with genuinely scary scenes, makes for a fun watch. Daniel Radcliffe does a great job here, to the point where you actually stop thinking of him as Harry Potter, which is probably what he was hoping for.

It’s good to see Hammer producing new stuff, and good quality to boot!
