This movie completely flattens anything unique. "A haunting In Preston Castle" is a boring, uneventful wreck that takes on any cliché; executing every cliché in the book ..
I think I'll go only good thing of this film, that being the acting. I think, personally, acting of a horror film is what ticks me off the most when I'm watching a film. In this film, the acting wasn't that bad, actually. I felt as if the actors kept a steady, solid grip to they're characters, displaying some great acting performances. However, during some scenes of the film, the actors over played they're lines, acting as if they were rushed, or perhaps persuaded to go faster. Point being, the acting wasn't bad at all, it was solid, and it held together.
Now for the horrific parts of the film, the story / plot.. One word. Recycled. The plot was horrifically clichéd, and emphasized so many millions, and billions of times before its sickening. This film just preforms the exact same thing once more, only some how making it seem worse then it already is. A group of idiot teens head off into an abandoned, haunted area of which posses a ghost legend; Which, by the way was completely left out of the movie, leaving a major plot hole. The movie literally sends these nuisance characters into this haunted area for absolutely no reason, making the entire thing a massive blur, leading to the audiences' annoyance. In conclusion, the plot is an overused subject, annoying the audience with the fact it's been seen billions of times before, only displaying a waste of time; a cliché.
Now, the ghosts of the movie. The monsters, the part of the film that can't possibly fail! Of course, in this situation, it did. The ghost was flopped around as a transparent looking CGI glob of crap. And even with that statement bring brought up, in this film, you never really even see the ghost, because how horrifically BORING this film was. And even when us audience did, it was lame, and didn't phase the audience as the looks of it just had us wondering "Why?" or . . "What!?" in the end, the scariest part of the film was supposedly the ghosts, but fell flat in even achieving that, instead failing it.
In conclusion this film was a wreck, it introduced us to the wide world of clichés, of which is a world we shouldn't visit. It not only did that, but also disappointed the audience with lame executions of scares, scenery, and events. On top of all that, this film was bland, and uneventful, It wasted much time with boring convocations and fell flat to be a horrifically boring waste. Even the decent acting couldn't save this film; I don't recommend this to any horror fan, as you'll be highly disappointed. Finally, I don't HATE this film, rather, I'm very disappointed with it, and I feel as if others will be too.
