“Within” (** out of four) was a pallid Redbox horror thriller that horror fans can easily do without about (what else?) a haunted house and how a new family (Michael Vartan, Erin Moriarty, Nadine Velasquez) moves in and are slow to uncover it’s dark secrets. Naturally, there’s a creepy next door neighbor (Ronnie Gene Blevins) who meets an early demise. Professionally made and well shot but offers absolutely no surprises or plot twists and it’s ending is a letdown. Jobeth Williams from ‘Poltergeist” has a minor supporting, yet another reminder of when these movies were spooky and original. Perhaps one of 2017’s new resolutions should be to bury the haunted house genre and send it back to Hell.
