Bizarrely constructed supernatural thriller about a young boy who helps a ghostly girl catch a serial killer. The movie tries to balance out a murder mystery with fairly bleak commentary on racism but then also kid-friendly comedy. It does not tonally match up yet I was fascinated by this movie.

The saccharine drenched family element is loaded with sentiment and stereotypes and the race message felt forced and tacked on. The last half an hour is pretty watchable, but more often than not, I found myself hitting fast forward, looking for the "good bits". I must be …
