A hair-raising thriller set in 1971, about a young woman who “hunts ghosts” or exposes hoaxes. The ghost hunter ends up having to protect a few young children in a boarding school, from an impulsive prank, or is it? Starring Rebecca Hall as Florence Cathcart and Dominic West as Robert Mallory, This film will send shivers down your spine! With unpredictable jump scares and parts where you just cannot comprehend what’s happening in a few different situations, I rate this film a four. I gave this rating because at times it was hard to know what was going on, however the film fulfilled its purpose in making me not wanting to sleep at night, and also scaring me at strange times, when we would least expect it.
