This movie is a by-the-numbers sports movie. The performances are really quite good and it tells the historically-centered story aptly, but it doesn’t bring anything more than that. It’s very engaging while you’re watching it, but steadily fades once the show’s over.
Closest comparison: It’s like Remember the Titans by way of Moneyball.
Setting: Sports
Plot: Sports
Tone: Sports
The basic idea behind this movie is what happens if someone is on house arrest in a haunted house. Those familiar with other Blumhouse productions will not be surprised to find it does a lot with a low budget. Topher Grace is great as the main character questioning his sanity and the script is smart enough to make him forthright, a trait lesser films eschew just to drive the plot. A few movie clichés at important story points bring down the rest of the film, which could have been great but ends up being only pretty good.
Closest comparison: It’s like Saw by way of The Haunting of Hill House.
Setting: Haunted House
Plot: Psychological Thriller
Tone: Horror
