Ratings and reviews

I love sad ghost stories and if you like that genre too,you will be generall satisfied with this movie but it's nothing special. The plot is creepy and enough to keep you interested but it is not really that scary (if you're used to watching non-slasher horror movies). The acting is OKAY. If you're looking for a really good ghost story set in Britian look elsewhere but if you're fine with a just okay movie then this movie will do.

This movie starts off great as the main character exposes a group of fraudulent mediums. Then the movie gets slow then it picks up again if it could keep a steady pace it would have been a better movie. Overall this movie is worth renting if you enjoy horror flicks!

The first part didnt grab my attention but when i went deeper into the movie, it got very interesting. It blew my mind, especially the big twist at the end.
