It's just what I did. This movie is a total waste of your time on earth. It is so slow that you can literally FF for quite a few seconds in a one on one dramatic vocal exchange before the dialogue starts again....Don't bother...it's awful!

Clearly lots disgruntled by the cover not reflecting the direction the story takes in the film. I was happy to take the film for what it is and not get hung up on how it was promoted. Lots of films have promotion which doesn't fit the content of the film. When I considered the film on its own merits I found it to be a very enjoyable tale of betrayal. More like a thriller than a horror to be honest but the horror parts of the story nicely tie back into the main story between the three lead characters. I felt it was well written and quite clever in its execution. Considering the low budget they captured a period feel very well too. A solid steamy thriller that deserves to find an audience.

I thought this movie was supposed to be about a haunted place, but it is, in fact, about infidelity. The story focuses on the Reverend's wife and the handyman's affair almost exclusively; so much that the supposed "paranormal" events look totally out of place.This movie did not get anything right. It didn't look or feel like 1930 at all (I've seen documentaries about the 30s). The actors seemed wrong for their respective roles. The events were unrealistic and the characters' response to them illogical. The movie didn't seem to know where it wants to go or what it wants to do with itself.The paranormal events were so few, so exaggerated, discorded and random that it'd make you think that, perhaps, they were edited into this movie from another movie by mistake.The description: "A Reverend and his wife discover their new home has a deadly secret." O.K., what "deadly secret"? Unless I missed something, this "secret" was never revealed...I really don't understand the paranormal connection at all. This movies is about a cheating wife, not about paranormal activity. I didn't get what the ghost drivel, that was randomly shoved into a movie of entirely different genre, had to do with anything or what connection it was supposed to have to the story.Basically, the whole thing is poorly pieced together and a bit messy. Perhaps it would appeal to "drama"- or even "crime"-lovers, but to label it as "mystery" is highly misleading to say the least.

This film is a shocker, and not in the way it intended. It takes a while for anything paranormal to happen, and even when it does, it is neither scary nor original. The 'ghostly' apparitions look more like people who have mistakenly turned up to the wrong house for a fancy dress party, and the 'special effects' (or 'effect'- I only saw one) are amateurish. On occasion good performances can lift a poor film, but unfortunately, in this case, the acting is terrible. This is not helped by a very poor script which isn't even authentic to the time period. Usually I try to persevere with films, but I had to give up on this after an hour, as I could not bear it any longer. Please don't waste you time and money on this
