bjon1452 The film held my interest, I'll admit, but right from the beginning, you were left hanging as to what was happening. The so called psychosis of the main character was virtually unexplained from the beginning, the paramedic "ally" appeared all too conveniently and the Wiccan symbols were explained away like they had nothing to do with the plot.What I did like, however, was that it wasn't the typical slasher film. I also enjoyed the complex nature of the circumstances-if they'd presented them better! I'd seriously consider a remake of this, tweaked, of course.It's too bad the budget wasn't adequate.

KelRen25 If you have high expectations for a low-budget horror film, then you're pretty ignorant. But many of the people posting that "it's the worst movie I've ever seen" or "I'd rather (fill-in-the- blank) than watch this movie" probably haven't seen REALLY bad horror movies (Cheerleader Massacre and Troll 2 come to mind). That being said, this movie certainly ISN'T good. The story is all over the place. I've seen better story structure and continuity in a seventh-grader's English paper. Elizabeth Moss actually does a good job for what she has to work with. The actor who plays her brother was decent as well. All the other actors were terrible. My main beef with this movie was the story itself meandering around and not making any sense. 2 out 10.

joemamaohio When I was a child I was always afraid of my attic, because it was small, desolate and dark. I guess what the director was trying to portray is their own fear of the attic, but instead what we get is an almost comical tale of insanity.Emma and her family move into a new house, and almost immediately she's threatened with visions of a girl who looks like her...after...of course...going into the attic. As she delves more into what she things are delusions, she keeps getting spooked and knocked out, only to awaken to see the dreamy eyes of the local paramedic, who is also a detective, who uncovers an unsettling truth about her family that her parents kept hidden from her.As the visions become deadly, Emma soon comes to a terrifying conclusion...the spirit in the house is out to kill her! Oh no! Run out of the house immediately! Oh, wait, she doesn't want to leave. Of course she'd rather stick around and wait to see what happens. It's what everyone in her situation would do.And then we're left with the traditional 'twist ending' that pretty much any moviegoer would've predicted within the first half-hour. And then...mercifully...it ends.

iv-3 Well this board is harsh... I think this movie is being overlooked by more straight genre fans... I just saw the movie and enjoyed it. Mary Lambert's work is artful. I found the directing profoundly experimental, many dark figures and smart frames contributed to an thick atmosphere. It was a very internal tale, a trip into the mind and back out. Wanted more back story but I did enjoy this. No masterpiece but a solid and smart movie different from most.well my thoughts.
