Netflix presents: just another ghost movie

I imagine the pitch for this film went something like this:

Director: I want to make a ghost movie!

Executive: Cool! What are you gonna do to make it stand out from every other ghost movie?

Director: Nothing!

Executive: We're in!

What results is a complete paint-by-numbers haunting film. Granted it eventually provides a twist, but it's about as shocking as the reveal at the end of each Scooby Doo episode. If this isn't literally the first horror film you've ever seen, you'll know exactly where it's going at every turn.

That being said, I often find with these straight to Netflix movies that even when they're sub-par, they still have enough backing that they rarely reach student film levels of bad. For all it's predictability, the movie looks good from it's production design to it's effects, and all the performances are on point for the genre. They even roped in a young Florence Pugh right before her career ascended above this level of mediocrity.
