    I couldn't see a thing, every scene was pitch black.

    I hope the person responsible for the lightning in this movie, never gets to work on movies ever again!

    We have a large, new tv, which works perfectly. I sat down to watch (or hear, as it turned out) this movie with my two teenage daughters.

    This movie looked like something we would enjoy. I love scares, dread, family being haunted and all that.

    One scene is a child (based on the voice, because its impossible to see anything) who claimes there are something hiding under the bed. Since everything is pitch black, I can only assume this scene, and what happens next was scary. And I would loved to have seen it, instead of just listening to it.

    I hate this movie! Mostly because of what could have been a great horror story.

    Slow paced, but redeems itself

    I have to admit that like others viewers I was wondering what I was getting into here because this is a movie in which not much happens for a very long time. It seemed like a lot of atmosphere, some nice cinematography but very little in the way of horror, suspense or great dialogue. Too many movies nowadays , advertised as horror, are nothing but atmosphere. The thing is, this movie , which isn't very long to begin with, redeems itself nicely in the last 15 minutes. It's a shame that the lead up to those 15 minutes was not all that interesting, but what it really needed was a better script. It's worth watching once if you like your horror dark and moody.

    Fairly well made movie, very poorly told story.

    Fairly well made movie. As far as indies go it was above average in technical stuff and acting. Couldn't understand anything about characters or story.

    No flies!

    Daddy got's a new girlfriend and the kiddies don't approve. She stiff, boring and robotic. Addictive to wearing a UV beauty mask, poshly lounges all day, giving dagger eyes to his unruly teenage punk rock daughter & younger deaf brother who's haveing separation anxiety for his biological mother since the move and divorce. Even for the dull moments I was growing more invested with the appearance of a witchy looking next door neighbor, some smooth edited transition scenes, nice cinematographe with saturation In color definitely helps with a #creepy but modern haunting feel for the film. And the sneaky cleverly (been done) jump scares we're entertaining.. part of it felt jumbled like some scenes where out of order or missing not sure. But the finale was so worth sitting though the chaos having you question a rewind watch to see if you missed a clue to that twisted end.

    terrible

    Dont even waste your time it has terrible acting and storyline its just alot of dribble which is to hard to follow the film is like looking back at a bad 80s film.
