Michael Ledo The film opens up in 1891 Azusa, California with a seance gone bad. We never really got to find out what the real issues were or if the girl they were looking for was killed by her father, or what demon or ghost has entered the picture. We move to modern times and a new family moves into the house and find a chest in the attic...well you know the rest.On the plus side the characters were slightly better developed than a lot of the recent offerings. Victoria (Lisa Brenner) had that creepy Wednesday Addams high forehead look going for her, which worked quite well. However the story line wasn't developed. The connection of the ghost/possession was made simply through the items in the chest used at the failed seance...and? They could have made a better connection to the neighbor and Realtor. And what was with the moody teen daughter? Was she forbidden from dating? Why the sneaking around? Special effects include eye make-up and doors closing by themselves.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity...just tease.
NicholasMCG So listen, the set design and style works and the basic premise is nothing special but it could work. The problem is there are many scenes that literally feel like the first take, as if actors are holding their script in their hands reading their lines out loud for the first time. It's rather painful at times and either they were short on time and could only do a couple takes, or the director needed a lot more experience directing actors. Some of the actors are in other projects and have performed much better so this really does fall onto director's responsibility. I don't recommend this movie.
gil-191-414728 There was really no backstory to the haunting. At the beginning of the movie we see a seance gone wrong, but it flimsily just makes it that the medium dies and is now the evil spirit killing everyone in the seance. No backstory on the spirit itself, just a quick how do you do and off to the sad family with bratty kids and clueless father. Then we get a mediocre build up that just kind of stumbles along and an ending that seemed like it was done with the motivation that 'well, the movie has to end so let's do this.'
gezbexley I've just watched this film and I've got to say, what a waste of 85 minutes it was! The beginning was compelling and it looked like it had great potential, but that's as far as it went! I agree with other reviewers about the acting, it was just awful! **** Spoiler Alert**** I honestly thought, the point of the mum being dead in the film would lead to her saving them at the end, but no, the film didn't go anywhere. There was no real story line and nothing was explained, to say it was weak is an understatement. There's the usual clichéd features, copied from other horror films, yawn, yawn! And the ending was just cheesy. Save yourself money and more importantly time, and see something much more worthy.
