It was surprisingly easy to look past the Harry Potter franchise associated with Daniel Radcliffe's face, which is key for enjoyment. Otherwise, the ghostly apparitions and jump scares were aplenty (and really a lot of fun). The soundtrack was eerie and the production design was drab and misty (just like you'd expect from a ghost story). Overall it was a surprisingly entertaining movie.

While Radcliffe is a bit young and the story has been done before, the haunted house is the star and the suspense keeps building in this Hammer horror film.

Well-executed if completely predictable. Too many jump-scares as well, but nice to see Potter doing something different.
