Critics are mixed as you can see here on IMDB, I would recommend this for a Halloween party or something like that, what you need to know if you are in that age group and not a horror fan pre se, is that there's a big scary mansion, plenty rooms and halls and a flock of siblings trapped and haunted by something mysterious caused by their old rich dad. You can stop reading now! Pretty cool movie, somewhat scary,
Clearly this is not for experienced horror fans as they will roll their eyes with all the clichés, this move is complete with ghostly foot prints, pentagrams, secret doors, a locked vault, mysterious statues that move, paintings.. that move.. and so on and so forth, the script is
nothing new and the acting is okay. Not that many memorable scenes sadly, but executed well enough if you consider it for a younger audience. Its like poe for dummies.

A review that tells you what is what without spoilers
The dark secret of a millionaire
The mystical thriller of 2024. The plot and the content are secondary, we've seen it all many times. The main character is a woman again, everything that happens is predictable and formulaic, sometimes causing a condescending smile.
But the film is "watchable", if you can even say that about a category "B" film, but the director is doing a good job, but again, the work is questionable - this is a category "B"+
The acting corresponds to the director's task, the dialogues in this film are simple, sometimes primitive.
If you don't look, you won't lose anything, but if you took a chance, then you will be able to pass the evening somehow.
Time Always wins
Charles Abernathy (Bob Gunton) is a billionaire who is the patriarch of the Abernathy empire. The financial aspect is run by his twins, Madaline (Rachel Nichols) and Charles Junior (David Walton). Drew (Austin Stowell) and his wife Hannah (Briana Middleton) operate their charities. Cami (Peyton List), the youngest in the family promotes the family brand with her online followers. They all gather at his house for his 75th birthday. He dismisses the staff and claims someone is going to kill him by midnight and he only trusts his family to protect him. As it turns out it is not a who but a demon.
The film reminded me of a Lovecraft version of Ten Little Indians. I liked the "scares" as things moved creepily by themselves.
