Steven Soderbergh’s genre hop-scotching finally lands on supernatural horror. In true Soderberghian fashion, though, this isn’t a straightforward ghost story. A troubled family moves into a new house and discovers strange phenomena afoot. But the tale is in the telling. Shot entirely from the spectre’s point of view, it’s like Paranormal Activity turned inside out. Does it work, or is it another of the director’s alienating formal experiments? Critics seem split, and audiences likely will be, too.
