Reviews
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
songbirdmc That damn generator! lolWhen I saw the low rating for this film I of course thought it probably wasn't any good, but I read through the good reviews and with that I had a glimmer of hope. I wasn't expecting a great horror film. I went into it trying my best not to have any expectations which helped. While I feel that there is a lot lacking (they probably had a small budget to work with) I was still entertained and even a little scared. I am partial to the paranormal and more specifically ghost stories so this was up my alley.There are certain things that happened that did look quite fake and somehow just didn't have the impact it should have. Again, it was probably due to a low budget, but all in all I enjoyed this movie. It's not a favorite and not the best I've ever seen, but I do recommend it. It's worth a watch especially if you have Netflix. We all know the choices on Netflix aren't always the best.
brokenmirror-06813 I don't normally rate movies this low in general because I can usually find at least one positive thing about it. This one not so much. It just..well.. simply sucks. If you read the IMDb plot description of this movie it says, "When a terrified family flees a desolate southern New Zealand farmhouse, two cynical scientists and a young psychic are sent to investigate their claims of a haunting." I'm glad it says that because the movie kind of just starts as the team is at the house. Without having read the description, no one would have even had a clue that there was even a terrified family in the first place that fled. Much less that they had even sent a team to investigate. It just starts as them unloading the car at the place with not much of a reason about how they got there in the first place. The first 45 minutes is just wasted time. Nothing really going on, nothing happening. It was very boring to even sit and pay attention to and I had to fight the urge to turn it off by playing solitaire. You would expect to at least like one character in hopes that they could at least have some good dialogue going on at the beginning, but the actors are so poor that they bring nothing to this horrid film. The girl is OK, but the men are so bad that it makes you cringe to hear them speak.
davish_wulf-1 People here forget to imagine what would be like being in a supposedly haunted house. There are no zombies or ghosts jumping after 5 minutes of the movie, or CGI everywhere.. and I'm glad. Slow pacing, brilliant light & shadow photography.What can I say? It left me wanting more. Characters are uncomfortable near each other and so they should, since they don't know each other very well anyway.The end could be extended and reworked a little better, but all in all, until the final ending, it is a thrilling experience from start to finish, one of the best suspense/horror spirit movies i saw this year.Don't let the low grade keep you from watching it. If you like ghost movies, slow paced suspense with a somewhat real touch to happenings, this is a must.
cherokeecjones The buildup was slow, the scary parts were not scary, and the only ones who were relatively okay at acting were the two men. The female was annoying and when she would 'feel the presence' her acting was just terrible. I couldn't take any of it seriously like I would when watching a better horror film. She made me want to punch her in the face. Maybe next time they should find someone who seems like they actually went through acting school.The ending was trash. Really? Pulled her by a chain? Stupid. The whole film was a mess and not even worth it.DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. There are plenty of other films you could be watching that are better than this one.If you like it, to each their own. I wouldn't ever recommend it or give it any more of my time ever again.Hope you like to be disappointed.
