“A satisfying whodunnit with the trappings of a gothic ghost story”

“Despite its flaws, there is a certain amount of pleasure in simply seeing Idris Elba don the iconic coat once again”

“The incredible cast list makes it even more frustrating & disappointing that the film is so tonally disjointed”

“Plenty to keep audiences entertained thanks to the film’s great cast, fun tone, brisk pace & timely social commentary”
