    Can't Even Get Through The Beginning

    Can't even get to the halfway mark. Begins in Kansas in 1923. They had a couple of old cars out front of a diner, but took no effort on the small things. It's 1923 but everyone looks dressed in current styles and the killer looks like George Harrison from 1969. If you can't put in anymore effort than that, as far as just making the people look like they're from 1923, then I can't put effort into watching.

    Sheets

    Acting as a flat as a sheet. Plot is as garbage as a landfill. The outtakes were terrible,which is super sad because it showed that this could have been even WORSE. The review that stated that it was supposed to be set in 1950,but the only nod to 1950 was the black and white theme and the cars hit the nail on the head. No self respecting man who DIDN'T want to seem like a murderer has shoulder length hair in 1950. One lady had a Jennifer Aniston friends hairstyle,which DEFINITELY was not seen in the 50's. How hard would it have been to curl her hair/put it in a bin or ponytail!?! We get that Frank is a ghost,but never find out what happened to disencorporate him. The "daughter" was an awful actress and the end made no sense. Just a steaming pile of poop movie. It's too late for me-- I can't unsee this. But you don't have to. Save yourself.

    Some cool concepts failed by low budget.

    Ghost hunter film where the hunters don't realize that they aren't the main focus. Standard elements exist for a haunted prison film, but the film adds an element of a "true" psychic and this ups the storyline from the its beginnings. Low production quality deteatchs as well as poor characters and some bad acting (especially of minor characters). Psychic character has elements around him that are a bit confusing, but overall the under the surface elements that are the actual point of the film helps raise thus above the trappings it has as a trite retread of a film.
