With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among people who like the lights on afterwards and anyone who loves a world with magic in it, this one's for you. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Shelve it next to Smile. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
An Ancient Mayan curse is awakened in the ancient temples in Mexico, and people are killed in strange and gory ways by an invisible force.
