FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
M S OK, basically, I can sum it up for you like this..Lifetime quality "horror" music; worse than a lifetime movie "acting" - which was mixed with a badly put together ghost "hunting" show that you would see on cable. I say acting in quotes as I can tell you that now, I would rather watch another Lifetime movie about "that girl," than watch this. I have seen bad movies in my time, but I have to say, I think that this even isn't worth putting on any network channel.I go with Plot, Char development, and cinematography.Plot was terrible. Another story of person A loses loved one, now going nuts trying to get them back, while person's B, C, D etc, think he's a lunatic, meanwhile persons B, C, and D all have issues... not to mention that only two of them are really only discussed, and then there is the crazy one, who doesn't live long due to "unfortunate" causes... blah blah. And someone please tell me where the heck this house is, that it takes almost 1/3rd of the movie for a police car to reach the house - from a station that's supposed to cover it... it went from the middle of the night (when they left) to daytime - not even morning but daytime.Errors noticed: Bagging a woman who is still breathing for starters. One guy apparently suffering from CO poisoning for a long time. The stuff doesn't work it's way out, it's in the bloodstream unless treated. Ambulance shows up, and about 15 medics/techs pour out of it, no other vehicle is shown. An AED never would have brought back someone with Carbon Monoxide poisoning... not a chance - even with movie standards.Character development took much too long, and the movie dragged throughout. No sense of suspense. No sense of eerieness or sense of anticipation even. Too many unanswered questions, and then again, way too many answered questions too early in the movie. You know what to expect from the characters before it was even shown.Cinematography was either a horribly failed attempt at suspenseful or eerie, or the directors version of a joke on film. Lighting throughout the movie was too much or too little, and you cannot - under any circumstances - black out in a room without showing more of the room than just two guys staring at a camera. Don't show a close up of someone, when we know that they are taken care of by another character for literally 1:30 minutes. That's a lifetime when bad acting is involved.Honestly, this would have done much better with a more thought out..., well, everything.
Brother O This is a classic B movie, except most B movies are more entertaining. I was prepared for a really cool scary movie. However, it was disappointing from beginning to end. The acting was forced the entire time, very stilted with some corny lines. It was very unnatural. One person would say their line, pause, another person would continue on. The house scenes were really bad. I know if I'm getting sick while in a stranger's home, first thing I'm doing is getting out. Instead, the actors linger on in the house and needlessly stretch out the movie. I was slowly getting sick with them, but it was because the movie kept going on and on, just like the ending. It dragged on, and on. I really didn't see any scary parts to the show. If you have a slow evening with nothing to do and you can rent this movie for $1, then do it. You'll be glad you didn't pay more.
faceboy217 I just watched the movie, and it was just boring. The acting was bad. There wasn't anything scary about the movie. I really really like movies that this is trying to be but it fails. The acting was some of the worse. It makes no sense. I had to rewind scenes and watch them again and still it made no sense. The editing was VERY choppy. The movie seemed to just drag on and on. It took what could have been a really great concept and dropped the ball very early on.By the end I was only enjoying the movie to make fun of, in between yelling at the movie about how stupid the characters were acting.
Jim237 As a previous reviewer mentioned the same thing happened. Over the car ride over home, there was quite a bit of discussion of each part dissecting the movie. I suspect there will be a lot of it after you watch the movie. The gentle messages throughout the movie. The music made it twice as creepy, keeping me on the edge of my seat, expecting something to jump out onto the screen. All the actors played their parts really well. Definitely some scene stealing in the movie, in a good way.Well done by the GDE cast and crew especially given the time and budget on the movie. Looking forward to more productions from 19th and Wilson.
