Do you believe in Ghosts?

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2012)

When the trailer for this came out a few months ago I had my doubts. Daniel Radcliffe in a horror? It just didn't seem right, but I thought it would be interesting to see how he did outside of Harry Potter.
I thought he did brilliantly, he caught the character of Arthur Kipps very well. I would say he acted better in this than he had done through out Harry Potter (certainly the early stages anyway!) Even when he wasn't speaking his body language was perfect.
Not only did some of the actors impress me but I also enjoyed the fantastic camera work. It kept you on edge, waiting for that moment when something was going to appear and make you jump, then just when you thought may be nothing was going to happen something did happen and really caught me by surprise.
The romance in it was also very believable and the twist at the end was very touching and unlike some horrors, I thought it worked really well.
One thing I must say is that for a 12A this was very scary indeed, I would have put it at a 15 for sure.
