Average viewer score of 6.9/10 from 163 ratings.
Spooky, gripping and topical There are loads of movies with this theme, but this twist is pretty unique, and is pulled off well. It is deeply disturbing, as well as spooky, and it strikes a chord with the obsession with appearance that grips our culture. The casting is great, the effects are more than adequate and the direction spot-on. This is a spooky watch.
