A studio tentpole doing VR as a marketing gimmick is exactly the kind of thing I'd normally trash, but there's something genuinely perverse about using 360-degree immersion to collapse the distance between viewer and poltergeist—you're not watching horror, you're the haunted house itself, and that's the kind of format inversion that actually earns its technological show-off.
The VR format here sits uneasily outside the lineage of horror cinema proper—a promotional vessel rather than a work with its own formal ambitions—and while the technical execution is competent, it reads more as extended preview than the kind of considered narrative architecture that rewards serious critical attention.
The single choice that matters is the decision to eliminate the camera's eye entirely and let spatial audio carry the dread—in a 360 environment without a fixed frame, sound design becomes the architecture of fear itself, and that's a genuinely smart recognition of what VR can do that traditional cinema cannot.
