Low budget? Okay, fine; not a problem. If the story is good, then who needs seven-figure special effects? (If I had a buck for every time I've suffered through the reverse, I could tear up the mortgage right now.) And even if the story isn't so hot...well, then, capable acting and directing still can carry most efforts through.
Sadly, both munched in this ultimately poor film; which is even more unfortunate, because the atmosphere was creepy enough. But I've witnessed more believable emoting in a middle school play. The dialog especially was delivered as if most of the "actors" were reading it for the first time. One take, maybe?
That IS low-budget.
As well, I notice from the IMDb that this was the first film for many of the primaries. It shows.
So, I give this gobbler three stars, and all of it for the unnerving ambiance--essentially the only thing that worked.

This is a very original low budget film. I picked it up one day when at the video store and had low expectations. Basically a woman promises her husband to stay loyal to him on his deathbed. But when she begins to get a little close with another man, clues start to appear that suggest that he may not be what he seems. Is it her dead husband warning her from the grave?
Perks
-Great movie to watch if you enjoy low budget films.
-2x as good as the average horror flick nowadays.
Flaws
-Cheaper film (same quality as most porn series on HBO)
-Low budget so don't expect a t-rex to chase a jeep through the woods or a guy to fly around and dodge bullets.
Overall a fun movie to watch.
