Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: It’s suitably creepy—like any good ghost story. Lots and lots of tension, even though the first-person narration tells us he survives.
Con: It falls apart when we see the giant zombie lady chasing him in the tunnel. At that point, it stops being scary and becomes comical.
