Skip it. 'Pay the Ghost' is a forgettable supernatural thriller that squanders its genuinely unsettling premise—a missing child and a vengeful holiday curse—with muddled storytelling and cheap scares that won't stick with you past bedtime. Even Nicolas Cage's presence can't salvage this one.

Plot

One year after his young son disappeared during a Halloween carnival, Mike Cole is haunted by eerie images and terrifying messages he can’t explain. Together with his estranged wife, he will stop at nothing to unravel the mystery and find their son—and, in doing so, he unearths a legend that refuses to remain buried in the past.

Director: Uli Edel

Cast: Nicolas Cage, Sarah Wayne Callies, Veronica Ferres, Lyriq Bent, Lauren Beatty
