Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Karlee The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
jlfrancis1992 I just recently watched the film and i thought it was very intriguing. Watching as the woman uncovers her husbands family curse was very good at times it was making me feel that i needed to know more. Towards the end as she finds out she is pregnant with a boy and the curse is only for the men of the family that her child was last made it interesting as she was looking for a way to end the curse. What mad me upset was when the ghost of the princess that was kept as a slave until she could love the man's great grandfather, showed the woman where she was buried and that she was strangled and killed along with her infant son. This made me so upset i mean the poor little child and her. Then the curse is gone and its a year on and it ends nice and elegantly. Overall it was a good movie.
sandarce I found this movie to be very realistic. You can tell right away this isn't another Hollywood fantasy. You can see how spiritism works in the real world. I understand how this may appear as naive picture to someone expecting highly budgeted Hollywood movie, but, on the other hand, to someone grown up in the spiritual world, this may feel like part of reality. I'd say go for it, see the movie. Either if you're looking for fun, either if you're seeking for a deeper meaning of things, it's worth seeing. One other thing I loved about this movie was the way the director cuts a long story short i.e. skips through some unnecessary emotional scenes in moments of tragedy. Although it is only a TV production, I vote it 8 out of 10 for the way it gets and keeps the attention of the viewer.
p-stepien What is there to say? It's a predictable ghost story with viewers are miles ahead as far as the plot is concerned. Twists are signalised from a kilometre away and scares are non-existent. So is there anything to redeem this movie? Well... Lindsay Price is sexy and does a bang-up job as a lead in this TV movie. Sure would want to see more of her, as she conveys emotions and really makes her presence felt. Apart from that nothing to really admire, but the movie isn't dumb, is nicely shot and hence deserves a solid 4/10.You can definitely pass on this movie. Nihil novi. Would definitely benefit from calling in the Ghostbusters.
rgcustomer Based on who funded this film (skip to the end and watch the list of logos) you get basically what you expect. It takes an interesting premise, which should be suitable for a horror mystery, and turns it into self-parody. But not intentionally, and that's the problem. The accents weren't believable to me, and seemed to come and go. There were some laugh-out-loud moments, like the various times the local nut tells our heroine to use crystals for answers or protection. That works in many films, but here it was just laughable. Anyway, not to beat a dead horse, but don't waste your time unless you look at it as a MST3K experience.
