Could of been a great movie

Rating: 7/10 (4 January 2014)

This movie had a good back story (about as plausible as movies of this genre get) and was handled very well pretty much throughout. There was a genuinely spooky spectre looming in the background in the first three quarters of the movie but when it came to the pay off i.e. when we got a good look at the phantom, it looked liked a cartoon character. If a bit more money had been spent on the CGI (or what ever effect was used) and the spook had looked more 3 dimensional this movie would have got a 9 from me. However, I found it more unsettling than the laughable 'The Conjuring' and 'Insidious' and it has that rare quality which leaves you feeling a little sympathy for the ghost.
