Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
AaronCapenBanner The Wyrick family moves into an abandoned house in Georgia where their young daughter Heidi starts seeing the spirit of a man she calls Mr. Gordy, who is quite friendly and non-threatening, but invisible to her parents. She also sees two other spirits, one also non-threatening, but the other a sinister hooded presence that only Heidi can see, but still makes its presence known in a hurtful physical way, and it seems Heidi has the gift of spirit sight that may be more like a curse... Second of two specials that led to the TV series isn't quite as good as Connecticut, but is still interesting, and case had been profiled earlier on "Unsolved Mysteries", to shorter but better effect.
disdressed12 this feature length documentary on an alleged real life haunting has it eerie moments to be sure,but the whole thing just doesn't quite add up for me.there are some positive things about it though.the music,for one.it's suitable eerie,to say the least.and once again,the narration of Tony Call(The F.B.I. Files)is is a perfect fit for this type of documentary.a few things bothered me though.for instance,when the family members were being interviewed about the events,they didn't come across to me as being completely sincere or genuine.and as another reviewer commented,why would the family stay in the house after all they had been through?apparently they are still living there and still experiencing activity.to me,that doesn't make sense.which is why is i use the word alleged.for a much better documentary dealing with a real life horror,i would recommend A Haunting In Connecticut,which is much more believable and terrifying.A Haunting in Georgia has its moments,just not that many,and there are too many inconsistencies. 6/10
krbartels This program (now known as "A Haunting") became a series after a few early episodes, like this one in Georgia, and another in Connecticut.What is interesting is, early on, they used the actual people (victims?) in the re-enactment. When "A Haunting" became a regular series a few years later, the production became good at casting actors that were reminiscent of the actual people. It is not common to see the people in the story doing the acting.This is a very good episode, which takes place over a period of many years. The young girl around whom the story is centered actually grows up over the course of the story, and is seen commenting on her experiences.Fascinating stuff. Love the paranormal.
IrockGswift This movie is very interesting and intriguing. I'm a sucker for a program that explains the supernatural and strange occurrences. What I don't understand is why this family continue to live at a house that had great potential of endangering them. After the little girl showed her parents the strange marks on her face why didn't they decide to leave for good? As the program continued it seem that each night the family stayed there it got worse. This movie kind of remind me of a modern day Poltergeist or Amityville. But this time the spirits are terrorizing the whole family. I don't care what anybody say nobody couldn't pay me enough money to stay there. The program was excellent but on a personal level if it was me and after I witness those strange marks on my face or body,I'm leaving no question.
