Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

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
One for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and book lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to The Naked City. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 29 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1928: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

A story about a haunted old theater where an old Broadway play is being brought back despite threats from the ghost of a dead actor.
