Charming, but overstays its welcome
24 February 2023
We've seen the typical story before; family moves in, family meets ghost, family battles ghost. This movie takes a unique take on it however, and I appreciated the parody that ensued - we are treated to multiple scenes of TikTok users doing what they do best in regards to Ernest, and it amused me greatly.

Unfortunately, the inserted plot of the government crack team of ghost hunters greatly overstays its welcome and could be removed without damaging the overall plot of the film. Still, for a Netflix original, this is a surprisingly fresh take on some old cliches, and I enjoyed it.

All in all, if you have some free time one afternoon, and care for a rather refreshing take on an old clichéd story concept, this is worth having on - even if only in the background!
