…a tale / Told by an idiot…
Unimaginative horror movie wherein the clichés fly thick and fast - unrelieved by any credible sense-of-humor, irony or good acting. Why oh why do the homes of the possessed never have properly-oiled door-hinges?!
The social snobbery of White Western culture is well-presented, as is the inevitable office politics of mediocrities having to curry favor with their bosses in order to compensate for their lack of outstanding talent. But these are unintegrated into the ostensible drama; leaving the audience without the necessary character empathy to engage its emotions fully and profitably.
But more than this, the plot makes no sense since it is based on a nonsensical premise. Why would anyone imbued with spectacular supernatural powers have difficulty paying-off their mortgage, such that they would return from the grave to seek revenge from a foreclosing bank official?
