I didn't think it was remotely scary (creepy in parts for sure).<br /><br />I think someone a long time ago decided that it takes so much effort for the dead to "pierce the veil" between them and the living that they're incapable of communicating effectively once they get here. Everyone else decided that it sounded plausible, and hence ghosts are always cryptic. In my less charitable moments, I consider it lazy writing. But, as I said in the review, I suppose concessions must occasionally be made, and skepticism held in check, in order to have a story.balyienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785839636620293326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074838946965393539.post-54556915865123743312015-11-14T07:25:03.160-08:002015-11-14T07:25:03.160-08:00Your take down of Esther's mother's crypti...Your take down of Esther's mother's cryptic message had me laughing out loud. Maybe there is some sort of Ghost code we don't know about that means they can only issue vague messages?<br /><br />Seeing the previews this summer, I thought, "Very pretty, packed with actors I love, but no way, looks way too scary." Reviews from my movie podcasters have commented that they feel it's been packaged wrong--that it's not really a horror/scary film, but a drama with supernatural elements. So maybe I will see it after all. I love Jessica Chastain. Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967372439743853589noreply@blogger.com
