    • Trivia
      Parker Brothers wouldn't let the filmmakers use their Ouija board in the movie, so director Roberta Findlay had to come up with the stone spirit hand instead.
    • Goofs
      In the beginning when the worker turns down the music on the boom box, it doesn't immediately get quieter. It's not until a few seconds later when a character starts to speak that the volume lowers.

    *1/2 out of 4.

    A woman is forced into investigating the death of a murdered man after messing with the former tentant's writing device that is used to contact the dead. Sometimes exciting and scary horror pic with some well done scenes, is ultimately too slow moving and dull to maintain interest throughout despite good premise. Rated R; Violence, Profanity, and Adult Themes.
