Down a Dark Hall centres round Katherine ‘Kit’ Gordy (AnnaSophia Robb), a new student at the exclusive Blackwood Boarding School, but when things start to go all weird and supernatural, she attempts to confront both the institution’s bizarre goings-on and the dark powers of its headmistress, played by Uma Thurman.
Without making too much sense, this film could be decent, but it could also just rely on jump scares to get itself across, as a lot of this trailer down.
