Synopsis:

Years after his twin sister’s death, a researcher ventures Into a dark, mysterious realm with the aid of a special drug, determined to bring her back.

Review:

Definitely not the best episode (not the worst either) in this show! It started out great but couldn’t hold the tension and my attention enough…

When, at a young age, Walter Gilman’s twin sister dies he sets on a journey to protect her from this death. He becomes a spiritual researcher but never meets that one person that can actually help him bridge the path between life and death.

Until he discovers a drug that does help him bridge that barrier. But that still isn’t enough and he wants to bring her back to life. To do that he visit an old house where a witch used to live, looking for the answers but he will get more than he bargained for!

The episode starts out really great and has the potential to become the best one in this season but the story just collapses in the middle (only to pick it back up at the end fortunately) and it becomes a bit boring there.

But the witch is scary! She could induce some true nightmares!

But what the hell is that ratlike creature, Jenkins Brown, doing there? 🤷

Rupert Grint returns to a story with a witch, never really shaking off his Ron Weasley character here… I’m sure the guy has more up his sleeve!
