Troubled young lass Ellie (a fine and credible performance by Erin Maria Hogan) gains custody of her sweet niece Izzy (adorable Abigail Mary) after her unstable sister River (an excellent portrayal by Devanny Pinn) is institutionalized. Ellie moves into a haunted house with the specific intention of contacting the spirit of her deceased mother. However, Ellie winds up conjuring up the lethal ghost of a notorious serial killer instead.
Writer/director Kyle Mecca relates the absorbing story at a gradual pace, takes time to develop the characters, and expertly crafts a subtle and understated, yet still creepy and unsettling atmosphere. Moreover, Mecca brings a refreshing warmth and depth to the main characters while Ellie's obsessive need for closure gives this picture a considerable amount of real heart and poignancy. Fattie King is genuinely scary as the scrawny ghost of the serial killer. In addition, there are praiseworthy supporting contributions from Mu-Shaka Benson as Ellie's concerned nice guy husband Gavin, Phil Brown as friendly psychiatrist Dr. Brown and Alexandra Merrit Matthews as perky real estate agent Marcy. An on the money chiller.
