Mix of crime mystery and supernatural
Atmospheric Thriller with a disappointing ending
A 6 part thriller on the BBC that starts very well, but sadly the ending was a let down. A good haunted house vibe mixed with a crime story of a missing child from 23 years ago. The first 4 episodes were fine and some of the plot reveals were good. Unfortunately the supernatural element to it and the vague ending will no doubt annoy many people. It's ok overall but could have been great with a better finish.

When Emma is invited to lunch by an old acquaintance, she is shocked. The woman is being haunted by her late husband and wants Emma to make him go away. But when Emma finds out the woman's daughter has tried to commit suicide, she thinks something much bigger may be going on. I loved this book and always had a hard time putting it down. Highly recommended.

Well it wasn't a bad read but the story wasn't great. They dream the same dreams thanks to a haunted b & b, he swoops in to save her like a superhero spandex, cape and all. *rolls eyeballs* its not a bad read but I was pleased to have it finished so I could read something else. I would read other books by this author but if the dream series is going to be anything like this book i'm going to give it a miss. I'd give it 2.5 stars

I found this one on Amazon. It's a haunted house style "horror" movie. The acting is pretty weak and the story is not scary or anything even remotely close to it. The cinematography is mediocre. It's about a pregnant woman who keeps having strange things happen in her new house and no one else does or believes her and they tell her she's crazy. They have one character try to explain things toward the end of the movie but it's an extremely weak explanation. Overall this movie just isn't very good. NOT worth a watch.

Binge watchers dream!
I I begrudgingly started watching this after it was recommended by several friends. I wasn’t expecting much as I as sup it was a series remake of house on haunted hill (it isn’t).
I was pleasantly surprised, however, & binge watched the series in 2 days.
It’s got some good scares, a great story and a fab cast. Worth a watch!

One not to add to your list
Gave this Netflix original a go. A brother and sister team try to scam people who think they are being haunted. They take on more than they can handle at one creepy location where several girls were murdered.
Not a bad idea for a Horror film but this effort is slow, dull, low budget, without any real scares. Takes a different direction in the final act as well and left little explained really. Check out @The Gift (2000) instead.
