By lovingly digging up dusty old genre tropes and presenting them on a bright, bloody, silver platter, Pierre Tsigaridis manages to upend expectations in a refreshing way.
It quickly brings its fully realized characters to life, sets the stakes—and then raises them again and again until the final reveal.
Director Adam Stilwell crafts a lush and mysterious psychological horror film that draws the audience in with its stylish atmosphere before delivering a knockout punch in the final act.
It’s second-hand and overly familiar, and misses the chance to truly re-energize the PARANORMAL franchise.
