    Even the snow was fake

    This movie was weired litrally 0zero scary im sure the ratings and good reviews are made by makers and production team. Its overall OK to waste time but not to lose it if you have better things to do or watch

    Great story telling and a down home feel

    I watched the film twice and and for the budget it was a great story. It was a fun play on sacrifice and relationships across the board I enjoyed the characters especially the ghosts. They gave great character and excellent acting. The Some of the acting i felt could have been better. But for a low budget thriller it was not bad acting. I love campy horror movies and will keep this on at the top of my list.

    The Whittler

    I watched it thought it was a nice ghost film put out at the right time with Halloween in a couple days. Funny at times. The girls are adorable. Was not expecting that ending but understand the meaning behind it. I liked it a lot will watch it again!!!

    A good directorial debut

    As an independent film, this worth a look. I would categorize this as a heist film with supernatural undertones. Al Snow's presence is definitely felt as the mastermind to this dubious plot. Good cinematography, but the audio could have used a little work. A few good twists in the plot make things interesting. Definitely a good debut for a director. A learning opportunities as well. Can't wait to see what he has in store next.

    Scary!

    I wasn't expecting this much fun in a scary movie. I jumped more than once. It was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Two thumbs up from me!

    • Trivia
      The story was created in 2005 by Whit Whitman, who lived in a 200-year-old inn and was tired of people asking if the inn was haunted. So he developed a ghost story centered around one of his friends named Whittler. Fifteen years later, Whit asked Whittler if he would want to star in a movie developed around his character. Whittler said yes, and the movie was created.
