Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
songbirdmc That damn generator! lolWhen I saw the low rating for this film I of course thought it probably wasn't any good, but I read through the good reviews and with that I had a glimmer of hope. I wasn't expecting a great horror film. I went into it trying my best not to have any expectations which helped. While I feel that there is a lot lacking (they probably had a small budget to work with) I was still entertained and even a little scared. I am partial to the paranormal and more specifically ghost stories so this was up my alley.There are certain things that happened that did look quite fake and somehow just didn't have the impact it should have. Again, it was probably due to a low budget, but all in all I enjoyed this movie. It's not a favorite and not the best I've ever seen, but I do recommend it. It's worth a watch especially if you have Netflix. We all know the choices on Netflix aren't always the best.
Woodyanders Cynical Scott (a perfectly crusty portrayal by Jeffrey Thomas), the more eager Liam (a solid performance by Jed Brophy), and vulnerable psychic Holly (well played by foxy brunette Laura Peterson) investigate a remote farmhouse that's rumored to be haunted.Director Jason Stutter, who also co-wrote the compact script with Kevin Stevens, relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, makes fine use of the rundown abode location, and eschews gore and cheap scares in favor of focusing instead on a gradually mounting spooky atmosphere which culminates in a chilling climax complete with a nifty little twist towards the end. The practical special effects are pretty simple, but still do the trick just the same. Grant Atkinson's sharp widescreen cinematography and the spare shivery score by Steve Roche, Janet Roddick, and David Donaldson are both up to par. A worthwhile fright film.
edgalarza I am dumbfounded at how awful this film is. No character development, no real story other than three ghostbusters that come to a cabin in some mountains we don't ever find out where to document the existences of paranormal behavior, but no explanation or leading story that gives us a hint as to what might have happened there. God awful acting performances. Special effects amount to old fashion flying furniture and door slamming. Investigative equipment that amounts to a hand-held infrared monitor and cheap wireless ethernet webcam on cheap tripods with audio sensors typical of what you find in home security systems from the 90s. What on earth were the producers thinking when they made this film?
cherokeecjones The buildup was slow, the scary parts were not scary, and the only ones who were relatively okay at acting were the two men. The female was annoying and when she would 'feel the presence' her acting was just terrible. I couldn't take any of it seriously like I would when watching a better horror film. She made me want to punch her in the face. Maybe next time they should find someone who seems like they actually went through acting school.The ending was trash. Really? Pulled her by a chain? Stupid. The whole film was a mess and not even worth it.DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. There are plenty of other films you could be watching that are better than this one.If you like it, to each their own. I wouldn't ever recommend it or give it any more of my time ever again.Hope you like to be disappointed.
