With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for fans of a good haunting and fantasy readers. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 8 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1944: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Two zanies get mixed up with a Southern colonel, his beautiful daughters, a nightclub and a haunted mansion.
