A Head Full of Ghosts was good, scary fun. I loved all the nods to other horror genre works (some of which I caught and a lot of which I'm sure I didn't), and especially enjoyed the House of Leaves references as I just read that for the first time last year.

Tremblay builds an engaging story that draws you in, shifts, morphs into something new, something other, and keeps pulling you deeper in search of the truth or something like it.
