Perfectly unsplendid.
I would sleep, I would wake, I would walk, but I would #NeverForget. I would never forget, forget, and forget.
I would sleep, I would wake, I would walk, but I would never forget how they wasted nine hours of my short weekend for non-existent scares, uninteresting characters played by underused actors, and being discount AHS: Murder House. Can you imagine being a discount version of a Ryan Murphy production??? Now, that's horror.
The first half was a boring, bland Bly; The Altar of the Dead was ambitious yet flat and unearned; and the back half was just me desperately trying to get to the punchline of this cruel and corny joke.
WHERE 👏 ARE 👏 THE 👏 SCARES 👏
The memories of this haunting would never just fade, fade, and fade.
A love story??? No, ma'am.
