REVIEWED 

This film is directed and co wrote by Mr Guillermo Del Toro (any relation to Benfico?) who also had directed Pacific Rim and Hell Boys movies.The film was reviewed by my favorite Youtube movie reviewers Jahn and Stuckman. There is something I have to differ from them which will be explained below.

The film has very nice sets and costume of the 1800's era both in US and England. Looks authentic and from a well budgeted movie. The house in England where most of the action took place was simply a classic and eerie too. As the director had directed high special effects budgeted movie before this, you wonder what is real what are cgis.

No complain on the acting particularly from J Chaistain (The Martian) and T Hiddleston (Loki of Thor). As this movie rely much on the acting and sets but less on special effects to make it stand out.

As expected you see two familiar faces from Pacific Rim here. And a switch of American playing British and British playing American.

All right here's my take of the movie.

It is not a horror or ghost movie as wrongly spelt out by the reviewers. Even Stuckman main complaint (or was it Jahn) was why didnt the ghost showed up ? My opinion that it is not that kind of movie rather than its a supernatural one something like Sixth Sense. The ghosts or spirits to be exact are not real as it is the imagination or rather intuition of Edith as she can see Ghosts (emmm.. this is familiar tagline) right from when her mother died when she was 12 (?)). The Ghosts came to her to help, like her mother warnings, or asked her help to reveal the truth on what happened to them. Because if you are expecting a horror movie that will shit your pants, this aint one of em.

The film is good if you are prepared to see it not as a horror film. If not you will be utterly disappointed. Read one review in imdb saying that this is the most directionless ghost movie ever. Hmmm how wrong can that be.
