While the four leads are agreeable enough (despite a slightly annoying joker guy) and there is some gorgeous Hawaiian scenery, it takes a full forty-eight minutes into the seventy-five minutes running time for anything even vaguely spooky to happen. And when the supernatural stuff does kick in, aside from a juicy face-ripping, it lacks genuine scares. A time-wasting police investigation flashback scenario doesn’t help matters.
