That is an outstanding piece of hype for this film. I'll see it, curious to see how Soderbergh does a ghost story.

From that Variety article, it sounds like a type of William Castle-style gimmick. I can picture a big 50's movie poster in my mind trumpeting See it in our new specially-created SpiritVision process where ... YOU ARE THE GHOST!!!

It does sound kind of funny in that article. It sounds a bit like the family shows up in this house, already inhabited by this ghost, and the family is so messed up they terrify the ghost. I have a feeling that what is going to make people tense watching this won't be the ghost, it will be that the family are nuts. We might be asked to take the ghost's side in this one, ha!

That would be great.

Actually, it reminds me of an episode of the TV show Angel with a young boy and a possible possession.
