I haven’t screamed out loud in a long time
Somewhat formulaic but really fun
There are some decent PG-rated thrills and scares for the preteen audience, but adults are unlikely to find it especially convincing, with clunky dialogue and a generic score letting down a solidly traditional spooky mystery.
Good production values and a solid supporting cast don’t hide the fact that it’s a tepid thriller that barely works up a decent fright or two.
It won’t exactly hold you under its spell, but it might charm just enough for the sparse 90 minutes of attention it requests.
