It is a fun ride.
A divertissement that knows it's place and embraces it.
No delusions of grandeur. No absurdly convoluted plot whose ending will reduce you to ranting at writers. It's ghost and magic right off the bat.
There is nothing really new here. Only question was can they make it work ?
Yes.
Pace is surprisingly brisk.
Cast is competent rather than brilliant. Poor leslie. Screaming at unseen things is clearly outside her wheelhouse.
In her defence, the effects are nothing to shout about. The setting feels generic.
Yet they managed to occasionally create a sense of creepiness.
Makes for uneasy if not scary viewing.
The real horror in such productions is shaky cam. Thankfully limited by a rather clever device. The boat is home/base for a renowned TV personality and so is fitted with a bunch of mounted cameras . Also the hand-held cams footage is not shot by epileptics.
They went for simplicity. Simple story which should leave you with a simple desire to see how it all plays out.
Can't wait to see what happens next.
Wish them well.
Thank you.
Still pacy but clearly losing steam and viewers.
Could listen to Greenwood all day but looks like this one will live fast and die young.
