As far as School Spirits' powerhouse performances are concerned, List remains every bit as riveting if not more so, given she’s effectively playing two characters: Maddie and Janet (Jess Gabor). List shares duties with newcomer Gabor on the latter front, with certain scenes remaining in one location and cutting between both actresses; Gabor is also a highlight in the flashbacks detailing Janet’s perilous life.
