That's how trailers ought to be...

I have no clue what I might be about, but I want to watch it because I want to find out.

It's ok... has a fairly unique presentation (I don't know that for certain, Szlia Szlia probably knows at least 3 French films that have already used this gimmick in a superior way), the acting is hit and miss. Ghost's a pervert. The ending is solid, but not amazing. 6/10 - worth a watch if it's free, but I wouldn't recommend paying for it.

They billed this shitter as a horror which it is not. Its a family drama and no the ending is not worth watching till the end if at all. Wish I had 4 hands!

My experience was pretty much what the FOH takes said. Could have done without seeing it.

Zoomer movie. Soderbergh has done some great stuff, but he's also got a huge catalogue of flat 5/10 movies. I'd put this in his discount bin. Gets 1 point for no forced DEI and no woke bullshit. Real estate agent at the beginning had some bouncy ones. It was a quick scene, just a few seconds, but it let me know the movie isn't a woke trashfire. Refreshing considering you don't see portrayal of stereotypes like that much anymore.

I watched it because of the RLM review. I enjoyed it but it's one of those movies where you'll never watch it again.

The more I think about it, the ending doesn't really make sense? Did the brother's ghost time travel back to save his sister? Was he from an alternate timeline?

According to the director, ghosts are removed from time, so he was able to be in the past.
Apparently there are clues hidden throughout the movie for who it is.

Yeah, I suspected it was the brother before the reveal. But the sequence of events does not follow a logical cause-and-effect.

Ghost expert lady specifically said something about spirits experiencing time differently than we do.

Not a bad film but I've developed such an allergy that it impacts my ability to enjoy a piece of contemporary fiction

I thought this was a horror movie, I was misled. It wasn't terrible but it felt like an M Night Shyamalan movie. Spiritual successor to The Sixth Sense, pun intended.
