The acting is pretty top notch and there are a couple of jump scares. However the story makes zero sense, there's a lot of red herrings along the way, and as the viewer we are left in the dark when the credits rolled.
It's pretty obvious that Chloe and Justin are siblings, as evidenced by the fact that the young girl had blonde hair and that as an adult Chloe was close to Justin without being overtly sexual. But all of that aside, I didn't understand why Justin and Chloe were hell bent on having Val live in their childhood house. Wouldn't the siblings want to escape their traumatic childhood memories?
Also the music box and the "Angel Baby" book that kept popping up were meaningless. And it's clear the house is haunted, but what is this ghost's (of the murdered father's) intention other than creeping up on people when they sleep? It seems like as the movie went on, the haunted story diminished and the movie pivoted into a slasher tale.
The whole business with the sheriff, bartender, and the Good Samaritan neighbor didn't add to the story. This movie wasn't worth the time, it seemed rushed.
