They say you should be careful what you wish for because it might just come true. Ghost buster Florence Cathcart gets her first brush with a real ghost in “The Awakening” trailer – and it's not pretty!

Starring Rebecca Hall and Dominic West (who is looking as fine as ever, might we add) as the unlikely pair assigned to get to the bottom of a haunting case in a boys' school, this gothic thriller has been around for over 2 years.

However, it's just now getting ready for a US release, hence the brand new trailer.

Spooky, atmospheric and quite scary at points, the video does its job: it gets the conversation started on whether this is yet another typical Hollywood-made “horror” film or perhaps something more, a film more along the lines of “The Others.”

Watch the trailer and decide for yourself.
