Quick Hit

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken works when the atmosphere feels bruised and intimate, even if the mechanics are underpowered. The mood is there, but the connection slips.

Full Take

The fear lands when the sadness under it starts to show. There’s texture in the shadows and a real ache in the performances. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The haunting works because loss is sitting right under the surface. That’s the line between haunting and just looking haunted.
