Quick Hit

The Haunted Palace leaves a mood behind, and that matters more than its rougher edges. The mood is there, but the connection slips.

Full Take

The fear lands when the sadness under it starts to show. Even at its most fragile, it knows how to leave a mark. 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 why it hurts in the right way and scores BAD.
