Far more consistent as I expected

Rating: 8/10 (15 February 2020)

When I usually see a horror movie, I expect a pretty straightforward story with a basic plot. Here, both exceeded my expectations.
The existence from spirits is admitted right away, but where most films try to mistify it, this one will try to bring scientific explanations. At the end, you do not get the asnwers to all the questions you have on a broader scale, but all the ones regarding the film's story. This is a very focused film that takes place in a limited space to make it feel more personal and catching. The processes used to scare are known and absolutely not revolutionnary, but they are well used and with efficiency.
The is a very nice photography and directing. James Wan likes to play with his camera and has a gift for framing very nice pictures. The actors are good with a top notch perfromances form Patrick Wilson and Vera Farminga.
This is not an amazing horror movie, but a well told story that manages to bring tension when required. An excellent base for a shared universe as well...
