    A decent, creepily effective little movie completely smashed on the rocks

    That about sums it up. It was a little better than I expected it to be...........until it wasn't.

    Ha! I liked the twist. Pretty forgettable ghost story (the two scariest scenes
    both turn out to be dreams which is 100% BS) until the bait-and-switch.

    Not sure it's great but at least it's different.


    SPOILERS...






    Stupid fucking trope of the perpetual shut-in being tougher than a Navy SEAL when it would be more realistic for them to be crying because there's a girl
    in the house. The very last scene where he's feeling better from his
    double gut-stabbing and nobody remembered to call the police is particularly stupid.

    Maggie is going to feel quite the dick-head once she's over her PTSD and thinks back to how she cooed over a porcelain doll for a week.
