Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for people who can't resist a good whodunit and spy-story fans. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. A good follow-up to Backrooms or House on Haunted Hill. Nobody is quite who they seem.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 44 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
