She is awesome in this and she is in nearly every single minute of the 110 minute runtime. And Flanagan prefers his female leads tall, brunette, beautiful, and strong - they don't put up with any bullshit.Īnd that, my friends, describes Rebecca Hall to the T. Essentially a riff on the main premise of King's "Bag of Bones," with genders reversed. Couple that with the pent up frustration of not being able to see this in a theater for six freaking weeks, I bought it instantly when it finally dropped on streaming.Īnd I say Goddamn! Expectations met! It's the complete opposite of The Ritual - a slow-burn, character-driven ghost story which could have been a Michael Flanagan adaption of Stephen King.
I had high expectations for David Bruckner's followup to his 2017 mindfuck of a movie The Ritual (which I gave 5 stars to - I may grade high but I reserve the highest rating for the best of the best).
