Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Michael Ledo PLOT SPOILER REVIEW BECAUSE YOU DON'T NEED TO WATCH ITA dad (Lee Bane) and daughter (Natalie Martins) move into a new home after 1 day of acting school. Mom has recently passed. Daughter is moody, takes pictures and hates the porcelain clown doll. Things happen. Medium and investigator come over. There is some "Otto" writing which we knew what it was going to say after "You" "Are" ... Sound track too loud and horrible. What was that sound? Was that a humpback whale noise trying to be scary? Could the sad piano player learn a tune or was that asking too much? Why was Jared Morgan talking like Treebeard?The ghosts were people in masks. No special effects.Guide: F-bomb. No nudity. Was that supposed to be poltergeist sex?

Nigel P It is not often the case that a teenager is presented positively in films. They are usually deeply unpleasant in a variety of ways, so it is refreshing to see Natalie Martins playing the very convincing and appealing Katherine Prescott, teenage daughter of David (Lee Bane), who is not only grieving for the death of her mother, but also looking after dad who, by his own admission, isn't handling being a single parent as well as she deserves.This is another offering from the stable of writer/director/producer Andrew Jones who has produced, and continues to produce, a steady stream of micro-budget horror films. Some are put off by the lack of spectacular set-pieces and effects. What do they expect from a project with such limited financial backing? Not that the low-budget defines the ultimate production – rather the stories these films tell are smaller and more intimate (and to me, far more human and effecting) that some superficial mainstream blockbuster.In a big spoiler, the two of them move into a secluded Welsh farmhouse and are menaced by china doll Otto, who refuses to stay in the attic/under the bed/in the dustbin. I mention this immediately because, bless him, Otto is rarely convincing. He's a spooky doll operated off camera. Rather more effective are the life-size versions of Otto – cherubic, blank faced creatures in robes that, if you look carefully, have sparkling eyes beneath the mask hollows.The sound quality here, which has held back scenes in previous Jones films, is much improved, and we are treated to a number of heartfelt speeches – the most impressive from David, lamenting his shortcomings as a parent to a sleeping – or is she? – Katherine. Regular Jared Morgan is terrific also, as an eccentric, disillusioned paranormal investigator called Hans Voltz.My only issue with this is the lack of a conclusive, or even satisfying, ending. A séance brings forth the strongest manifestations of evil yet. Father and daughter flee - and that's that. It would have been interesting to at least see something of what happened to the other cast members, and repercussions thereof. Ah well, at least in the post-credits sequence, it seems the trouble is not quite over yet.

VeronicaW345 As a story, there were some good ideas.. but what made the movie fall flat was the dreadful sound, the lack of suspense and the casting.So you have the Father: who looks good for his age but can still pull off the young father look, and to also note - I thought he acted the part quite well.Then you have the daughter: who is supposedly still in school, yet looked the same age as the father! Which I found disturbing.. Some actors must think if they keep going for younger roles all the time, it may "extend" their career or something, but what made it worse, she couldn't even act her character's age either. If you don't look the part - at least try to act it!In short, the DVD cover is pretty misleading in relation to the film inside.

nikkischultz Just an absolute waste of a movie night....save this one for the old school horror movie buffs with no idea what decent actors or special effects are....felt like it could turn into an adult film at any moment with the age of the actors and general feel of the movie....ridiculous... not even scary in the least.. I suggest saving your money to use when the actual poltergeist movie comes out. Recommended only for those who need the background noise while they fall asleep at night. At least the views on the movie were pretty but still the storyline made no sense and is kind of irritating due to the trailer being so misleading about the movie
