I love a good ghost story, especially the ol' fashioned types like The Orphanage and The Others. They never cease to give me the wiggins something fierce...until now.
Nick Murphy's The Awakening is light on the creepy factor and resorts to cheap jump scares a bit too much. Apart from some great performances from Rebecca Hall and Dominic West and the beautifully haunting photography, this uneven yawner challenged me to stick around till the end. Surprise, surprise. There's a nonsensical twist that seems pretty formulaic when it comes to these stories. M. Night would roll his eyes.
