4.0

 Another reviewer described this book as "gritty" and I think that's an apt description - the story was creepy and well-told, although the beginning was a bit slow. I loved the idea of a curse surrounding a movie that was never finished - it feels like it should be an idea that's overdone, but it's really not.

The characters were great and I love how Moreno-Garcia unravels a story. This book had a great combination of creepy moments interspliced with action and character development. Definitely a fun read, and perfect for Halloween (even though at this point Halloween is three months away...).
