This stunningly derivative Latin ghost chiller might have had audiences Jackson Pollocking their underwear 10 years ago. Now (unless you've spent the past decade down a well), only the sheer poverty of ideas is terrifying.

So I watch this on the same day as They. The first scene is incredibly familiar and illustrates exactly what is wrong with horror today.
