GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Uriah43 This movie begins with a student named "Abel Frye" (George Humphreys) who dejectedly walks into an empty room at Rogers High School and hangs himself. Ten years later the quarterback for the football team suddenly becomes ill in the middle of the game and falls down screaming the name of Abel Frye just prior to slipping into a coma. He is the third football player to do so. Similarly all three football players were members of a group who bullied weaker students in the hallways. As it turns out Abel Frye was also bullied and because of that he took his own life. In no time a rumor spreads within the high school that the ghost of Abel Frye is being summoned by a Goth student named "Ian Snyder" (Jake Richardson) to seek revenge on the jocks who make life miserable for other students. So a special team known as "the Veritas Project" is sent to the school to investigate. Now as far as this movie is concerned I think I should point out that it is geared for a generally younger audience and because of that there isn't any sex, gruesome violence or gore to speak of. It does contain plenty of mystery however and that's what makes this movie somewhat interesting. On the other hand there were some scenes—especially those involving family dynamics—which slowed things down and weakened the overall mystery and suspense. As a result, I rate the movie as slightly below average.

Miss_DeMented It's rare that I watch a film and hate everyone involved and everything that occurs on screen but this is the exception to the rule. Admittedly, I'm probably a little old for this film but I find it hard to believe that even it's core audience would find much merit.The characters were extremely two dimensional, the situations entirely unbelievable and the so-called 'twist' could be seen from miles away.I imagine that if Nickelodeon started making horror movies, this would be the result. It limped along at a snails pace and the stereotypes of some of the characters appalled me. Surely, even pre-pubescent teens can see through that sort of thing. It strikes me that Frank Perretti has written about people that he has never, ever come into contact with and has no knowledge of whatsoever.Add to the mix a mish-mash of heavily contrived dialogue and you're onto a losing formula.Avoid at all costs, unless you're 12/13. Even then, go and watch 'Spy Kids' or something......

Cemetarygirl Yes this movie does have a deep message but it is handled (to my way of thinking in a trite manner) Relying heavily on stereotypes throughout. It is slow to start and the build-up, does reach a crescendo, and for that I will give it credit. But the story is far too twee for me. The family are 'nice' and have 'nice values' and assume that Witches are bad, that Goths are inappropriately dressed and that the socially driven classes are the way to be. I am not a great believer in uniforms and hated mine (as most of us did) but maybe some American schools should get some. This is not meant to be a trite answer to a serious problem and Bullying is a serious problem. I hate to say this but at my school we weren't even allowed to wear black stockings (it was considered that they cheapened the girls) and most of the students did like to add their own little style to those uniforms but they where not as blatant as in this film. Or was it to ram home a point? But back to the movie Oh right this is the movie. Jocks are encouraged, intellectuals are looked down on, those who are different as ostracized and spiders bite. So the result! The Goths can dress like nice kids because the matter is faced and resolved. Goths are rebelling and it is not a lifestyle choice. We can all say grace and be Christian about things and we can leave all that play-acting Witch stuff behind. Oh and those who once were Goths and Jocks can be friends. Maybe I should just leave these films to the young

mdwstbmx This movie was the worst. I watched it with an open mind and witnessed some of most awful acting ever. The story was just OK, but I couldn't get into it with the crappy acting. I would recommend renting this movie and throwing it away, maybe you could save some poor soul from renting it and wasting their time watching it. The main female character attempts to use the "trendy lingo" and fails miserably. She says things like "oh snap". I could definitely see this movie played on the Disney channel in the future. If it was possible to give it less than one star I would. The best way to summarize this movie would be a mix between Arachnophobia and not another teen movie. Not surprising that the highest percentage of high votes for this film came from teen girls.
