Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
scottjennifer-09219 Overall, it's not a bad movie. It could have been pretty good, if not for Laura Petersen. If she were able to act her way out of a paper bad, the movie would have been pretty decent. She's painful to watch.
bettycjung 6/20/18. It delivers decent scares for what looks like a cheap, low-budget movie. Three ghost-busters investigate a haunted house and two of them want to leave because of what they see going on, moving objects, slamming doors, etc. The last 15 minutes has a no-hold-bars scare-fest that makes it worthwhile you stayed around to the end.
mjsreg Just about everything about this film is good. Good acting, camera- work, lighting, and so on.The only thing that let it down as far as I am concerned is the ending.Having built up the story (which was well written and well acted) and drawn the viewer into the events I was expecting more of an explanation through the final sequences of why they had happened.The ending felt rushed and perhaps edited a bit too much to keep the film within time.But apart from that, the film was enjoyable and certainly as good as similar films in the horror genre.
rosemaryandthyme The movie starts with the most beautiful and surreal NZ scenery, in fact even the remainder of the film length inside the house I still found the picture quality, colors and crispness were just gorgeous to watch. Compared to the current bad quality horror flicks coming out lately this is definitely one of the better ones.I thought it held some good suspense and story unraveling. It had an old fashioned horror movie feel to it, no bells or whistles, just the focus on the house and the people. Most of the action is within the claustrophobic confines of the house, especially the hallway, and I liked that. It didn't spook me out watching it alone and it was a bit slow initially, but heck I stayed up until 3.00 am watching it so it definitely piqued my interest.Now the bad - the acting especially the female lead failed. She's OK as the brooding young emotionless psychic but whenever she's expected to show fear, agitation or emotion it falls flat; very amateurish. The best acting was the older guy Scott but really none of the trio gelled together. She seemed far too young for the role; an older more experienced psychic would have been more believable (and prob a better range of acting skills)she just seemed like a brooding emo teenager, I kept thinking what the heck was she doing there with a couple of old geezers.Now the really bad...the ending...I'm not going to give anything away but I was disappointed that a new horror movie which seemed so refreshingly different just ends up the with the same old same old clichés as the others. Please guys, think of different endings, keep us guessing.
