31 Days of Halloween 2018: Spirits Aren't The Only Thing That's 'Malevolent' In This Netflix Fright Flick

[Once again I'm going to attempt to do a horror(ish) movie review a day for the entire month of October. I've done this the last few years on The Cleveland Movie Blog. Most of the time I succeeded (usually with the help of a few other writers). Other times I didn't. We'll see if I can pull it off this year.]  


Brother and sister ghostbusters Angela (Florence Pugh) and Jackson (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) pretend to talk restless spirits into moving on for their clients, but it’s all a put on. That changes when Angela starts to get strange nose bleeds, and sees what might be an actual ghost. She’s troubled, because her mother, the original fake psychic in this con, had the same symptoms and claimed to see real spirits, too. Shortly before she went crazy and clawed her own eyes out.



So yeah, Angela is none too thrilled to be seeing things, and would just as soon get out of the spook game. Jackson, however, owes money to some bad people and insists they take one last gig to get him out of debt. And so Angela reluctantly agrees. With Jackson’s girlfriend Beth (Georgina Bevan) and their trusty assistant Elliot (Scott Chambers) in tow, the siblings head off for what they expect will be just another run of the mill con job.



Not quite.
