Wow, I am so sick of these types of "thrillers" that have replaced actual horror movies, or even scary movies. It reminds me of the equally crappy "Woman in Black", with no real scares, no originality, formulaic by-the numbers plot, cliché filled, rated PG-13 bore-fest. Also, the actual plot is created by the monumental stupidity of more than one character.
Let me illustrate: EVIL money grubbing husband and father wants to kill his wife really bad, for the insurance money or whatever. Well, he is a puss so he hires a convenient bad guy gun for hire. Here is where it gets beyond stupid. The EVIL husband never bothers to show the hit-man a photo of his wife, or even describe what she looks like (blonde hair would have helped!!!). And on top of that, he doesn't even give the gunman his home address! He says something like, "oh it's the third house on the left, or maybe the fourth, I forget..." WOULDN'T THESE DETAILS BE IMPORTANT TO ANYONE WITH MORE INTELLIGENCE THAN A FLATWORM?!?
The rest of this crap is just another typical boring ghost movie, with nothing scary to be found. A good antidote would be "A Ghost Story", 1980. That at least had some adult themes and was truly intelligent and scary!
