CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
sol ***SPOILERS*** It's when Kate Nolan, Emma Caufield, got the good news from the family lawyer Carl Brooks, Mackenzie Gray, that her estranged father whom she hasn't seen or heard from since he abandoned her and her mom, in the dead of night, almost 20 years ago left her his over 10 million dollar estate together with a house on the lake that things started looking up for her. Knowing a good thing when she sees one Kate packed up and together with her husband Bobby, David Orth, and eight years old daughter Emma, Matreya Fedon, moved in to start a new life.It's in that dream house that all of a sudden Kate got these strange visions that something terrible happened there. These visions become so real that Kate went to the local police to have them investigate what happened in the dream house before she and her family moved in! As it soon turned out Kate has developed supernatural powers of perception that she inherited from her late mom who was a clairvoyant for the police department who solved six murders! With Kate now on the verge of uncovering four unsolved murder cases in and around her new home by the lake you can just bet the person responsible for them will try to make sure that Kate becomes his fifth victim!While all this is going on Kate's two timing hubby Bobby is secretly having a hot and heavy affair with attorney Brooks' sexy secretary Gina Byrnes, Judy Thompson, who's planning along with Gina to have Kate, who had spent some six months in a mental institution, committed and thus grab the money and house that her late father left to her! It's takes a while but soon police skin divers recover four bodies in the lake just were Kate predicted they would be. It soon became evident that Kate's father who was bed ridden with cancer at the time of the womens, all local prostitutes, deaths couldn't have possibly murdered them! So the $64.00 question is who did?***SPOILERS*** As all the possible suspects in the lake murders were eliminated, one of which was to cover his tracks, the real killer finally emerged catching Kate alone in the house. Not knowing that she was on to him right from the start the killer overplayed his hand and walked right into the trap that Kate and the local police set up for him. And ended up getting burned in doing it! The only thing that I found a bit odd about the film is how obvious the identity of actual killer was. He was so out in the open in what he did even while trying to cover up his crimes, by implicating Kate in committing them, that he should have been exposed as soon as he showed up in the movie!
japonaliya SPOILERSShort and sweet, made for TV movie that is a variation on a plot that has been done about a million times... Think Ghost Whisperer, or any other "psychic" ghost story. I guessed who the killer was from the beginning...Briefly..unforgivable plot problems, and unbelievable directing flaws: (1) Originally told by lawyer at house the only thing her father left her with was the house, and an old rusty metal box which he had brought with him. THEN he tells her at his office that she had inherited her father's estate worth $11 million!!!! Hmmm...why didn't he say that in the FIRST PLACE?? THE BOX!!! IF the ONLY thing you were given as an inheritance (at first) was a house and a rusty box, why didn't they (wife and husband, and daughter) have even the SLIGHTEST curiosity about what was in the box??? They didn't get around to opening up the box until they had already moved to the new house and had been there for some time... Weren't they just a bit curious to know that if there were important papers, documents, gold, jewelry etc. etc. in the box??? When she goes to open the box, the padlock was already opened!!!! Who did THAT?(2) Since the father was still alive when the murders took place...how could he have already willed his daughter the house in order to catch the serial killer? OTHERWISE, did he just leave her the house because he was guilty, and the bad cop just happened to use THAT house to all of a sudden after years on the police force, become a crazed killer??I could go on and on, but this film was like all the other lifetime, and SiFi Channel movies, contrived, stupid, and BAD!!!
Debra A young woman (Emma Caulfield), along with her daughter and relatively new husband, moves into a home left for her by her estranged father, who is suspected in the death of her mother, and possibly in the deaths of several other women. The house is beautiful (and free, as mentioned previously--never accept a gift of a free beautiful house), so of course weird things start to happen--people peering down from windows, mysterious puddles of water on the floor, ghostly creatures crawling on ceilings. Is she losing her mind or is she just a psychic, like her deceased mother? As an adoring fan of Caulfield from her Buffy days, I was prepared to like this film, but found it extremely boring, derivative, and unoriginal. And as lovely as she is, how many times do we really need a shot of Caulfield staring into a mirror while ghosts creep up behind her? (Apparently, six or seven).
randy-409 Very cool TV movie. Far better than most, in fact.Think "The Grudge" meets "What lies beneath", meets "CSI" and you'll have a good idea of the tone this pic manages to pull off. Genuinely scary in parts with a number of great JUMP scenes. At least as good as many of the horror flicks at the multiplex. The sexy Emma Caulfield, (Anye from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) looks great and acts very believably as the woman in "supernatural" peril. Keeps you guessing until the end.I'd have no problem if this gets nominated for an Emmy. There are too few TV movies of this type and quality. No big message, just a scary good popcorn time!
