GL84 Journeying to a secluded house, a group of friends head into the desert as part of a sorority initiation activity but awaken the murderous spirit of an ancestor that is seeking out a way of revenge against her treatment and tries to stop their rampage before they're all killed off.On the whole this one wasn't that bad at all. One of it's better features here is the film's rather nice and enjoyable plot as once it gets going, it has a ton of good stuff to it. This one starts off rather nicely here with the group heading out into the desert and arriving at the house which features the start of the action as those early haunting scenes with the ghost appearing along the highway being quite creepy leading into the scenes of them around the house. As this leads nicely into exploring the house as well as their initiation tactics there's quite some fun times here which leads nicely into the later half which has some fantastic scenes here when the ghost really starts getting involved in the action with some solid stalking and haunting scenes. The first time it appears in the bedroom is quite a nice stalking scene, the surprise attack on the one friend in the middle of the basement and the big surprise ambush on them at the house which is where this one becomes really enjoyable with the build-up to the creature coming out of the darkness even though they don't realize the ghost is the cause and the fun chaos that results from the discovery of the bodies and the race to get out which is all classic slasher film fun. Filled with some fun supernatural-themed action to come from the big battle at the end and some great work tying in the legend of the ghost's ancestors to the whole revenge plot involved here, that becomes quite enjoyable as well detailing all the nice action to come from this part of the film. Along with the nice gore effects and plentiful nudity there's some fun to be had here, though it does have some some minor issues with it. The biggest one is that the film is still highly watchable but is rather uneven in the pacing as in order to deal with such a flimsy plot, more time than what is usually the case is spent on the setup of the group at the house and how they're interacting with each other, so this one has a long time without a whole lot of ghostly dealings. Despite how much fun they are watching the group there, this one is quite uneven in how it details it's ghostly actions with so much of it occurring in the last half that there's a rather uneven split here and it can feel quite plodding at times. As well, some of that here is due to the obvious stunt- casting of the ranch-hand with them who has no business being there, offers nothing during the film and serves no purpose other than to get the name into the credits so taking his time out would've probably made the film run along a little faster. Overall there's some good stuff here, but it does take awhile to get there.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and Full Nudity.

kieronboote An interesting premise relating to an ancient family curse is thrown away in favour of the same old tired hazing/frat stuff. The girls are lively, especially Lindsey Scott who is the perfect scream queen but who surprisingly doesn't seem to have worked since this movie. Perhaps she's found religion? Well shot but badly let down by the two male leads. In particular Terence Jay who looks like the bits left over from Ben Stiller's plastic surgery. He also has a really embarrassing comb over! The scene where he's doing the twitchy acting with the torch would be amusing in a Larry Blamire movie but here it's just ridiculous. A bigger cast and more victims, a nastier edge and a different male lead and who knows this could have been quite decent. At least I quite enjoyed the end.

trashgang Again and again I'm warning people not to fall for words on DVD covers like "starring Tobin Bell from Saw" or "it's gory". Even made by the director of Wishmaster, the ghost looks like the Wishmaster 20 years older, this is total crap. It's never frightening or scary. And nothing happens until the last 15 minutes. Tobin is in it, alright, but performs maybe 15 minutes in the movie, and is just a guy. The movie never really starts, it's more about belonging in the group and doing things to belong to the group. So here we go, of course it's the girls who have to do things like, dress yourself with one piece of clothing. Do I have to say more, one chooses only to wear her jeans the other to wear her boots. So naked they go, you think, even there it goes terrible wrong. The black haired one, Erin Lokitz, is running around naked but always covering her boobs. Men, if you know you have to do this and you don't want to do it don't take the role, you know what I mean. And look, I'm talking more about those part of the movie then the blood part. it's easy, it's all done in CGI, and CGI never is and never will be scary or gory. It could have done so beautifully, the storyline is there but next time, Kurtzman, do it in the old fashion way without CGI and if you are teasing with nudity do it full frontal as in MBV remake and Friday the 13th remake. Bury this movie, alive

SYFYguy Buried Alive Tobin Bell deserves an Oscar for best actor in this gripping horror film. Lester is not just any creepy gold digger who lives in the middle of the desert alone in his RV, but really tries to warn the dumb kids not to go into the creepy "sub-cellar". If only those dumb college kids would have listened to Lester and his third person warnings none of this would have ever happened.Phil plays his role to perfection and his stuttering goes almost unnoticed during his few but crucial lines. You can tell the other college kids not only look up to him but also fear him because his is allowed to go unquestioned on his routine 8 hour phone call.One scene I did not enjoy was where they clearly killed live innocent snakes in order for a cheap scare. I do not condone any Mike Vick behavior from film producers and they should be punished.I do not fully understand the cousin make-out scene right in front of the girls boyfriend. I mean I guess if I had a girlfriend I would let her make-out with her cousin too…….CUZ LESTER Ain't GOT NO CABLE!!
