Warning: Spoilers
Well we chose to watch this with the original rating of 7.5 and by the time we exited the cinema it had dropped to 5.5. Rightly so as it's An ok delivered somewhat simple plotline.

Mainstream Horror is really running dry on fatigue. A 'ghost' witch sealed in a tomb not exactly unique... i mean sometimes less is more but it was a tick-list of horror tropes. The friend a victim, the untrustworthy stranger, the timed 'jumpscares'... I'll give them credit for the 'twist' of killing unexpectedly but it does little to boost it.

This build up of whats beyond the wall ... its nothing but dirt. I was expecting some freaky things but no just our baghead chilling and killing. Fell flat considering thats her domain over her guardian... and the 'zombie' lass crawling on the cieling actually made me chuckle,

Every jumpscare falls flat as it's queued in with predictable silence. It sets it up for a good cliffhanger but the second plotline may be better than this slow build up to unsatisfactory ending. Suppose its better than the white girl saving the day yet again but yeh its bland at best.
