3/10
unlikeable mystery thriller
25 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A group of people hasten to a mansion where they're supposed to participate in a fun ghost-seeing event. It soon becomes evident that some of the guests don't like each other very much. The confusion grows after the host announces that he's very glad to see everybody, but that he's not the one who sent out the invitations...

"The girl who dared" isn't all that good. While the set-up is promising, in an Agatha Christie-kind of way, the rest only goes to show that one can ruin a promising set-up. The various plot elements never fuse into a coherent, harmonious whole. Meanwhile the viewer is not given enough information, say through clues, with the result that it would take extra-sensory perception in order to identify the right culprit.

As if this wasn't bad enough the movie also takes a racist turn by including a black servant character (the only black character in the bunch) whose job it is to shuffle around looking scared, dim-witted and befuddled. Talk about comic relief...
