Ramping up my yearly christmas horror viewing, I threw this on suspecting it would be disappointing. And it is!

The real horror is a creepy dude gets character rehab when confronted by a far worse creepy dude. Also the script is something of a mess even with that. Basically, it's not even an interesting mess.

I saw this just a couple weeks ago and had the same reaction: "Yes, I see your rhetorical trick but no thanks. Dude may not have been a racist ghost but he was still a stalker, and she was only in that situation because of choices he made. Redemption arc denied."
