Apparition

On a dark and stormy night, attractive Katrina Law (as Lori) arrives at a farmhouse mansion. We learn she's going to live there and marry strange boyfriend Jody Quigley (as Doug). We know Mr. Quigley is strange due to how he sets up a scene to scare Ms. Law, before proposing to her. Also, nobody but a set designer would set-up as many candles in a room as does Mr. Quigley; and, his character is never mentioned as being a set designer. Well, Quigley's mansion is a "fixer-upper" and he is restoring the old house. There is s shutter in the front he never gets right. Of course, locals warn Quigley that his house has a dark past. Early in the running time, Quigley meets flirty jogger Lili Bordán (as Jamie) and changes her flat...

This could best be described as a psychological thriller...

Most of the action comes to rest on Quigley's "Doug" character. While we see a progression, there may be no otherworldly reason for his exaggerated reactions, other than good (or bad) old-fashioned guilt. At first, we assume the house is a "living" character, but perhaps the past tragedies are only a coincidence. At the conclusion, it's not real clear. It would have helped if there was some link between "Doug" and a more clearly defined house. Although having him inherit the estate from distant relatives is a cliché, it would complement and add some authority to the story. Director Quinn Saunders manages to engage with stark quietness surrounded by a few jolts, but the ending struggles to tie things up quickly and without satisfaction.

*** Apparition/ Remorse (2015/05/05) Quinn Saunders ~ Jody Quigley, Katrina Law, Lili Bordán, Dave Droxler

This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. The story is poorly constructed and the acting abysmal. At first I couldn't understand why the unattractive and amateurish lead was cast in the role, but it all made sense when I saw that an individual with the same surname was a producer... "Sure! I'll produce your movie, if you give my son/grandson/nephew the lead role..."

Do not bother watching.

The mind can be a beautiful thing. It can also be a tricky or deceiving thing. Or it can be just used to make a horror movie. Not a very good one at that though. Unfortunately this is very poorly made and it tries to shock you into certain things. I don't think it achieves anything by that for the viewer.

It does tick all the boxes you need for a movie like that. But apart from its predictability it just is weak in its script, setting and acting. The lack of any real surprises and the clichés just add to the dread of watching this unfold. Characters being stubborn is one thing (until someone literally hits them over the head and they realize it's too late) ... it's a shame, there was a better movie hidden somewhere in between

A total waste of time, you have been warned. Do not see this load of C R A P.

I am a big fan of horror films, grudge,ring,conjuring one of the best. This was nothing compared to them - NOTHING.

A total waste of time, you have been warned. Do not see this load of C R A P

With a budget of 3 million you expect a certain level of competence, alas no such thing can be found here.

Originally titled Remorse this is another one of those horrors which leaves the viewer pondering whether what they are witnessing is supernatural or purely mental illness.

Truth be told I didn't ponder too hard as I simply didn't care.

This unforgivably dull, boring, lifeless horror effort has been done before so many times but rarely this poorly.

Unengaging, weakly made and an all round bore.

The Good:

Katrina Law

The Bad:

Relies too much on jump scares

Recycled

Dreadful plot
