Rather poor scare attempt where people wander around a house while things go bump in the dark until a muddled twist at the end. That's not to say that the film doesn't generate some effective tension and jumps, and the impression of a single continuous shot for the whole film is slightly interesting, but there needed to be a much tighter script that pared down useless chit-chat and ensured that there was a better pay-off. To her credit, Elizabeth Olsen is fantastic, holding everything together to a degree, and much better than this film deserves.
Wasn't a bad film at all. Some decent scares, a cracking performance from Elisabeth Olsen.
Ending is guessable and
borrows heavily from Black Swan, to the point of basically ripping it off
, but it's nice to have something that isn't just the standard haunted house chiller when we've already had an excelllent example of that this year with The Woman In Black.

Not amazing, but better than it could've been.
