Barrow Hill has a wonderful creepy feel to it. Perhaps not as intense as Scratches or Fatal Frame, but there is enough going on to remind you that this isn’t just a moonlit walk to go picking gooseberries.

The story is a good one and they played it out at just the right pace for me. While several people get killed in it (people have to die in a ghost story or no one would believe it), there is no gratuitous violence. You simply come across their bloodless remains. There are quite a few “BOO!” moments, but when my daughter finally saw the monster she couldn’t stop laughing. A few good scares with no problem sleeping afterwards.
