Brady, Jeff, and MaT went to their local university theatre to check out the latest offering from Guillermo del Toro (producer). This flick is a fairy standard slow burn ghost tale with good production values. The group was a little split over whether or not it was frightening, and whether or not the story was all that interesting, but in general, it's an above average film. Is it deserving of all its accolades? Listen to the Splattercast to find out.
MaT: 5/10
Jeff: 7/10
Brady: 7/10
