I would very much like to believe in an afterlife. I fear, however, that for me the evidence is simply not there. I’d go into it further, but I don’t want to bum you and myself out. That’s why I find even the scariest ghost story or after-life derived thriller an inherently reassuring experience in some sense. If any extant writer and director pair could persuade me for a couple of hours to forget my disagreements and just go with the supernatural flow, Clint Eastwood and the increasingly busy Peter Morgan (“Frost/Nixon,” “The Damned United”) would seem to have a decent shot at it.
Not that it really matters to me for a movie like this, but I have seen more believable and/or impressive effects. Otherwise, well, I’m not sure what to think from this trailer which looks rather trite, but I’ve come to export more from Eastwood and Morgan. I hope I get it.
H/t Movieweb.
