Bad watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend. The movie description didn't do this justice: it makes it sound like a "Scooby Doo" episode that turns real, when it should have been closer to "Don't Breathe". And that's where most of my contention comes in: the misdirection plot of needing money was completely unnecessary and a waste of time. Florence Pugh worked her ass off to carry the movie, and Celia Imrie does creepy old lady well enough, but I think the character was written badly and she just couldn't do anything with it. The story itself, the actual events that are happening are fantastic, and I was shocked to see this as a 2020 movie. With proper production value, and a decent cast, this should have easily been a movie that people talked about. While it's not quite "Girl Next Door" levels of traumatic, it's enough to easily make you feel bad for the ghosts, but I didn't give a crap about any of the protagonists: I just couldn't see why I should. A lot of the time I was mad they were even still doing ghost stuff because of all the friction in the first act.
