Review – The Undying

Let me begin by admitting that I watched this mostly to see how Robin Weigert would do in a starring role. Otherwise I would most likely have skipped anything resembling a romantic ghost movie. The acting was a cut above the dreadfulness I was expecting based on the reviews on Netflix (and just for the record, other critics: if you thought the acting was bad in this, you haven’t seen many low budget horror movies). But the story proved to be as dull as I’d feared. A doctor living in a haunted house supplies her pet ghost with a recently-dead body to inhabit. The tale doesn’t begin to take a dark turn until nearly halfway through, and just about everything before and after is completely predictable. Mildly amusing
