Can you really trust a horror film with a PG-13 rating? Here’s another spook story — this time a college experiment goes awry, unleashing a dangerous spirit — that we’re supposed to believe can scare us to death without truly going dark and gruesome. What this means is writer/director Todd Lincoln will give us lots of things going bump in the night, while some of the characters film the proceedings on video that gets left behind. When the paranormal becomes this routine, it is time to find a new trend to run into the ground. Now in theaters. (PG-13) Not screened for review.
