It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

After inheriting a family-owned funeral home and cemetery, a writer starts to go insane from the ghosts still living on the property driving him to murder his family to complete a cycle of violence continuously reenacted on the grounds and must stop it before it comes true.Overall this was a rather uninspired effort, mainly due to the fact that this one just doesn't have a lot going on to stay interesting. The biggest problem here is the fact of it using the tired motif of staying around obviously changed and brutal behavior doesn't make the slightest sense in the second half as we've gotten so much information on the behavioral change throughout here that it finally becomes utterly incredulous why they would stay around there any longer. On top of that, the actions aren't scary enough and rely mainly on yelling at one another or simply secretive behavior outside of their established routine as it's a clichéd element in and of itself, all of which conspire to keep this one down and barely all that good. There's some nice suspense-packed scenes early on that definitely set the stage for later on which is definitely the best aspect of the film, where the ghosts engage in enough trickery and prodding to enact a rather tense stalk-and-chase scene around the fog-enshrouded cemetery, but otherwise this one is just mostly undone with a whole lot of nothing in the first half.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and children-in-jeopardy.

The family man and aspirant writer Richard McCarthy (Linden Ashby) is visited by the estate attorney Dean Routsong (John McCook), who tells him that he has inherited a family estate in Springfield. Richard travels with his wife Amy (Gabrielle Carteris) and their son Matthew (Joseph Castanon) and discovers that the spot is a family cemetery. When Amy asks the attorney how much the land is worth, Dean answers 2.5 million-dollars. However he advises that they must run the business for at least six years, otherwise they can not sell it. The family moves to the house and Richard intends to use the environment to find inspiration to write horror novels. However, Richard locks himself in a room with a typewriter, where he hears voices and whispers; and becomes obsessed to write his novel. Amy sees a ghost in the house while Matthew befriends the boy Peter (Kyle McCaffrey) that stays in the cemetery with his mother. Sooner Amy learns that Richard has also inherited his family legacy: a tradition of murders."Plot 7" is a surprisingly good low-budget horror movie. The story is a kind of rip-off of "The Shinning" but in a different background, with a writer isolated with his wife and son in a family cemetery driving insane and becoming a dangerous murderer. The acting and the make-up are decent; however, the twists in the very end make the screenplay interesting. If the viewer sees this film with low expectation, he or she may have a pleasant surprise. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Cemitério Macabro" ("Macabre Cemetery")
