Review: Good spin on Haunted House theme

3.5*This started off fantastically, Joe Connors is written with a wonderful noir edge to his character. He is asked to investigate the shooting of an officer that he knows well and ends up at the house where it happened.Unfortunately this is where the story lost me a bit, I felt that his character completely changed when he went to the house. His character seemed so hard boiled to begin with that it was strange for him to go from a sceptic to believer so quickly. For me I didn't feel the relationship between himself and his wife was explained enough to warrant his actions at the house.The ending also felt a little rushed and tied up too neatly.Although I've listed more negative points, I do enjoy Mr Meikles writing and I think he's given a fresh take on the 'haunted house' theme.
