Some stylish touches are undone by overwrought genre tropes and an abundance of supernatural nonsense.

Ultimately, Down a Dark Hall falls victim to familiar teen horror tropes: a brooding lead with a heart of gold, predictable jump scares, wincingly bad romantic tension, and obvious villains.

The scares might not satisfy those old enough to vote, but it should provide mild chills for its target audience.

This murky, muddled attempt at Gothic horror set in a school is pretty to look at, but gets an F in the subject of scares.

With each new element, "Down a Dark Hall" reveals itself, with improbable delight, to be genuinely strange - a movie in which viewers can pick their own pleasure, no two spectators having exactly the same experience.

Down a Dark Hall eventually goes Down a Convoluted Tunnel, with some admittedly creepy but also just plain crazy sequences.

The over-the-top acting and unconvincing special effects, along with the lack of any true element of horror, make the film difficult to watch at times.
