Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (10 December 2012)

You are stood at the top of the spire, short of breath, a little light headed - rust under your fingernails from the residue on the hand rail. The slight locking of your joints in suspense. Oh and then a big scary ghost jumps out at you - FIN.
I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet build up and texturing in the first half; the characters develop well and there is potential for so much to happen.
I was hoping to be taken through a sophisticated labyrinth of mystery and suspense but end up walking out of a "Helter Skelter" covered in dust and cobwebs. Ghastly. The story lacks integrity and leaves you dazed after a disjointed second half. Too many lingering horror shots, irrelevant scenes and pointless characters. What a shame.
The writers definitely gave up and went home after lunch.
