Woohoo! I’m #1!

But really this movie is beautiful, heartbreaking, and creatively awe-inspiring

Therein lies both its strengths and weaknesses. It doesn’t bring ANYTHING new to the table but still remains a competently told scary ghosts picture. It blends Annabelle Comes Home and Thirteen Ghosts but stays choking on the dust of even those underwhelming movies. A majority of the baddies in this one are actually well-designed…
