Having just finished watching the first one, any hope of seeing anything more than a good theatre show is dashed.
IN the very first show, the three girls are taken around the house after dark and each and every one of them experiences "something."
All I saw were three young women who were scaring themselves to death simply with their imaginations.
No evidence whatsoever in the home. No bumps in the night. No falling objects. No voices. Nothing. Just three girls in their 20s scaring themselves to death by thinking about what "it" could be, even in the face of no evidence of anything at all.
Mia spins a good tale, for sure. She would make a great mystery writer, I think, and in the end, she did a ceremony to rid the home of ghosts?
What ghosts????? However, much like a placebo calms pain in a patient of a doctor, so does the placebo of a ceremony "ridding the home" of spirits allays the fears of the young women living there.
And, OF COURSE they feel better two weeks later. The sugar pill of a ceremony did what it was supposed to do, which is to help the girls think Mia did her job and all was right with the world again.
