Good solid ghost story, The kind you may have saw in the 80's to mid 90's. Not really scary but I quite enjoyed it.

Horror done really well. A goreless gothic ghost story done really well. Excellent acting by all the young girls and Uma Thurman. A modern haunted mansion posing as a school for gifted/troubled girls.

A conventional and cliche but effective atmosphere discarded in a simple story that has a ridiculous plot twist and to tell the truth it never convinces you and what sells as suspense and horror ends up being frankly a lie because the filmA conventional and cliche but effective atmosphere discarded in a simple story that has a ridiculous plot twist and to tell the truth it never convinces you and what sells as suspense and horror ends up being frankly a lie because the film never reaches a good level to make you want to stay until the end.

I wouldn’t call it a simple horror film and it does build to somewhere, yet I feel like the characters and the story were never connected so not a lot gets fleshed out. I’m not jaded, but this film helps point out so many of the current useless tropes in films. Voice overs of actual dialogue coming back that are from earlier in the film used like they are grand words of wisdom set in stone being one of them. It’s use here was made even more polarizing during a moment when it was supposed to be uplifting, but it fell flat because the film makers where completely off the mark as they used throw away lines from the movie’s “villain.” The only reason I gave this a 5 and not a 3 was because Uma Thurman is in it and she rules. Not a great movie. Somewhat different, just not entertaining.… Expand
