It promises beauty but steals life instead. Will the ghosts of Barlowe Theater entomb them all?
Barlowe Theater stole the life of Greta Mercy's eldest brother during its construction. Now in 1915, the completed theater appears every bit as deadly.
When Greta's younger brother goes missing after breaking into the building, Greta engages the assistance of a local police officer to help her unveil the already ghostly secrets of the theater. But when help comes from an unlikely source, Greta decides that to save her family she
must uncover the evil that haunts the theater and put its threat to rest.
Decades later, Kit Boyd's best friend vanishes during a ghost walk at the Barlowe Theater, and old stories of mysterious disappearances and ghoulish happenings are revived. Then television ghost-hunting host and skeptic Evan Fisher joins Kit in the quest to identify the truth behind
the theater's history. Kit reluctantly agrees to work with him in hopes of finding her missing friend. As the theater's curse unravels Kit's life, she is determined to put an end to the evil that has marked the theater and their hometown for the last century.

      A mysterious theater’s past and present collide in this atmospheric if disappointing supernatural thriller from Wright (The Vanishing at Castle Moreau). In 1915 Wisconsin, Greta Mercy is attending a performance at the Barlowe Theater when she sees a baby fall from the balcony. Greta, whose brother recently died in the theater’s construction, is convinced the Barlowe is cursed, but later that night, a police officer informs her that the accident didn’t happen: there was no one in the box seats the baby supposedly fell from. In the present day, Kit Boyd and her best friend Madison Farrington have signed the theater up for an appearance on a popular ghost-hunting TV show, but Madison disappears during filming. As Kit is inundated with cryptic, anonymous phone calls, she teams up with the show’s skeptical cohost, Evan Fischer, to unravel the Barlowe’s spooky history and find her friend. Despite a promising premise and an appealingly creepy setting, the story fails to come together—characters go underdeveloped, the pacing lags, and asides on faith feel shoehorned in (“You trust Him, you step out in faith that others will care for you in His strength and grace,” Evan advises Kit during their quest). Despite some bright moments, this fails to deliver.
