A sequel in name only, Ghosts of Georgia spins off its 2009 predecessor ’s brand of ‘real-life horror’ with a story of a family whose women possess a ‘sixth sense’ that allows them to see dead people.

It’s an ability that doesn’t serve them well once it’s revealed their new home used to be the site of a slave-murdering taxidermist. A nicely nasty idea that, overall, is no worse than part one.

Yet GOG still suffers from the same drawbacks: obtuse characters, flimsy narrative and an over-reliance on horror clichés.
