    It's nearly entirely composed of jump scares. What is even worse is the fact that they are predictable jump scares. They try to build up the ghost as a sympathetic character and fail miserably by the end. The mansion is something I'm sure anyone who has ever seen a ghost related movie has seen before. If you're looking for a thriller, move on to something else. If you're just getting into horror movies, this may be a tame one to start with.

    If you like British suspense movies: you'll be disappointed with this one. The plot was unclear, the story choppy.

    Over and under acted, not scary, and in sum a waste of time.
