Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/4 --
When these sudden surprises work, as in "A Beautiful Mind" or "The Others," you're too stunned to swallow that next handful of popcorn; when they don't, you're tempted to throw your whole box at the screen.

Newark Star-Ledger
Murphy's film gets good mileage from its frisson-friendly dark pon in the grounds....Teasing echoes of THE SHINING abound...
Sight and Sound
3 stars out of 5 -- [I]t's set above the spooker norm by its strong visuals, grief-steeped period setting and lingering ambiguity.

Rating: 3/4 --
An enjoyably old-fashioned ghost story in the vein of "The Others" and "The Orphanage."

Rating: 2/4 --
A dull British import that never lives up to the pretensions of its period setting.

Rating: 4/5 --
Tabloid is a deeply personal, yet light-hearted piece of satire lovingly captured through Morris' mesmerising gaze.

Product Description:
A famed author and noted skeptic attempts to debunk a haunting at a prestigious London prep school, and encounters a supernatural force that seems beyond human comprehension in director Nick Murphy's creepy gothic chiller. England, 1921: As the high cost of war takes a heavy toll on the national psyche, many people turn to spiritualism and the supernatural for reassurance that something better awaits us in the beyond. But Florence Cathcart (Rebecca Hall) isn't buying it. A noted academic, Florence favors logic over fantasy, and she's built her career on proving that ghosts don't exist. Meanwhile, at Rockwood Boarding School, the recent death of a young boy has parents uneasy, and students convinced that the boy still wanders their hallowed halls in spectral form. Summoned to Rockwood by Headmaster Robert Mallory (Dominic West), Florence becomes more determined than ever before to reveal the haunting as a hoax. But when the staunch cynic fails to find a rational explanation for the eerie occurrences around the school, her steely resolve is soon overpowered by sheer terror.
