Crit
Really expected to like this more. Really expected Kristen Stewart to sell the implausible ghost story about Maureen, a twin waiting for her brother to give her a sign from the beyond (he died of a congenital heart ailment that she shares--get it? Their hearts are fragile, prone to break! Literally!). Really expected to find it less goofy. Really expected to care more about the weird and annoying and ultimate fatal shit going on around her. Really expected the mysterious string of texts on her phone to be more mysterious. Didn't know there was going to a murder, but once there was a murder, would have expected the perpetrator to be less obvious and the potential legal and metaphysical consequences for Maureen to be more credible.

Expected it, I guess, to a little less ectoplasmic.
