bwalker5 If I ever invent a time machine I want to go back to 2 hours ago when I rented this movie so I can stop myself.Worst acting I have EVER seen, worst effects, worst suspense, worst script. WOW.Let's start with the continuity. I felt like I was watching those "real" ghost videos on youtube (that teenagers make) all stuck together randomly.Misc stuff: There is no character development, no emotion, no story line. 1. The dude watching folks get killed doesn't call the cops or even tell the people he is on the phone with about what he just saw. 2. The men are chasing girlfriend as she slides down the hall. The camera stays on them and they just quit running. Then we find girlfriend in another room. How did she get there and why didn't the guys chase her into it? 3. Why did this dude record about 3-4 ghosts and never check his camera to see if what he thinks he saw was there? I don't think he was actually ever recording.Every time Mediterranean guy tells white guy (I honestly couldn't be bothered to learn or even look up their character names) random bits of hate like "you just want to sleep with her" or "why is a girl like her dating me!!!" I kept asking myself why these two guys are even friends. No emotional connect to each other. Much less with me.Audio: It was about half way through the movie that I finally understood this wasn't a foreign film badly dubbed. The audio matched the lips and this film was made in the US. It just had flat and emotionless audio to go along with the acting. I think Mediterranean guy may have actually dubbed his whole performance in post processing which is why, even when he is freaking out, he sounds like he is sitting in a warehouse watching this film instead of acting in it.This entire thing reeks of college course credit that accidentally got made into a feature film. wow... just wow.Acting: Every performance was punchable and cringeworthy but none more than the guy who tested the drug. I couldn't tell if he was trying to crank up the flamboyant meter or if he was just "acting at me" but someone needs to dial him back down by about half.Plot: I'm just going to say this about my suspicions for the origin of the plot. I picture two drunk guys around a camp fire with one saying "we should make a movie about typhoid mary" and the other saying "like.. uh. yeah. And she should be a ghost or whatever". They work for 1 hour and the script is done.Ps. it is obvious the guy who rated it high is brothers with the director or something. Or maybe he saw a different film.
tabithazietlow004 I usually don't write reviews on movies but this movie was so horrible I just really needed a place to vent about my frustration. I love B horror movies but this movie isn't even good enough for a B rating. Here are the top problems with the movie:1. The acting is horrible. And when I say horrible, I mean atrociously horrible. 2. The writing is worse than the acting. The dialog between the characters is unbelievable and doesn't flow. And the film could have flowed a lot better and made more sense if the characters actually communicated. Like when Andy was denying that the chick was at the hospital he could have pulled his friend aside and told him right then and there what was going on but he didn't and it just created an annoying fight that was pointless. The two best friends seem to have a lot of annoying fights that are pointless and don't do anything for the film except slow it down. 3. The chicks wig when she is "possessed" by Mary. You can see her blonde hair sticking out and her boyfriend was like "you dyed your hair" when all he had to say is "why are you wearing that wig?" Very distracting. 4. Andy witnessed three people dying. Mr Schefield jumped off his balcony and Brooks gets shot (why and who he got shot by was never explained)and then his friend gets stabbed....and he never calls the cops for any of these deaths????? 4. And now for the ending....wtf. It made no sense why these ghosts were still after Mary. The whole movie was pointless and a waste of time. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!
kmtackett I wanted this to be so good. The concept was good and it's a subject that should be explored and played with.Why was there an Instagram-ish filter on it? It had a black cloudy filter that made me feel like my eyesight was clouded. Very uncomfortable.Acting wasn't very good but some scenes were filmed beautifully. I think there was a mistake too. When Mark met Evelyn she said she had some files he could look at if he didn't mind a dirty basement. Then when they were down there, she said "I'll be downstairs" as if they were in the attic.The effects were super cheesy. The cutting-out static effect they put on things was kind of lame.
jmbwithcats First sign this movie is going to be terrible... two guys go out to an old ruined home in the woods, one guy sees an old lady, the first guy says, why are you freaking out about old ladies? Second guy doesn't point out the fact that she doesn't exist? lol... The writing is just that bad... and that's the very first scene, so I have my trusty popcorn and my kitty cat, but it looks like this one is going to be really bad. I love horror films, paranormal films that take place in an asylum so I gave it a shot, I don't mind independent movies, amateur actors, if the story is really good. I was interested in the story being told here, but the problems are many.The script is not very well written, the scenes are poorly utilized, such as when a guy goes to see archives, he doesn't seem to find anything and the whole scene comes off as worthless, adding no depth or tension or reason to the film.Something begins to happen but then just cuts and it's over and no one's that impressed or surprised, which makes no sense. Poorly written characters throughout.No one has any chemistry, the friendship, the girlfriend? No one has any believable connection or emotion to the relationships they're supposed to be portraying... Laura Gilreath and Aaron Mathias do an alright job with the maddeningly bad script and direction. I love when the half brother is giving Andy sh*t about borrowing his boat, and then when we finally see the boat it's a pretty cheap boat with cheap plastic back yard chairs tied together. There's some decent story twists that I enjoyed, such as Mary finding him and getting taken back to the hospital and Aaron pursuing, showing you the movie really could have been better if they had just kept the story more human and not tried to be so "smart" with the dialog that really hurt the film. 1/10
