Clichéd Ghost Story - Cobweb review by GI
A ghost story that essentially steals from a whole host of other better films including Let The Right One In (2008), The Ring (2002) and The Babadook (2014) amongst others and whilst it's very predictable and utilises well worn narrative tropes it does begin with an interesting allegory around parental child abuse but eventually descends into a nasty spook story. Eight your old Peter (Woody Norman) is a withdrawn kid, bullied and friendless, who gets the attention of kindly teacher Miss Devine (Cleopatra Coleman). But at home Peter has to tread warily around his creepy parents (Lizzy Caplan, Antony Starr), while emotionally dealing with finding a skull in his backyard, and hearing strange knocking and voice from inside the walls of his house. This all builds up to a malevolent ghost creature emerging coinciding with a home invasion scenario, which means the film goes for horror over subtlety. This is a shame as the final result is a fairly routine horror film that lacked any real originality or indeed scares.

A solid creature feature hiding in a ghost story. - Cobweb review by LW
A small boy lives in fear of his peculiar and overbearing parents, do their abusive rules have a purpose and why do they seem so afraid? At first the voice he begins to hear at night terrifies him, then it begins to offer him a way out of his predicament and then it inevitably turns out not to be as it seems. The uneasy and threatening psychological build up will keep you guessing, but any film of this type has to show its beastie sooner or later and for some viewers that might detract from the work the cast do cranking uo the tension before the creeps give way to action.
