Featured reviews
This film took a real event in history and distorted and changed it to fit their own agenda. To claim it was based on true events is grasping at straws. Also, their take on Preston's history is blatantly sensationalized. Anna Corbin was a real person, her murder was brutal and the man who killed her got away with it. The Superintendent or "Warden" did not kill Anna Corbin, it was a ward, Eugene Monroe, from the school who had been suspected of killing another young woman in 1947, then in 1950 Anna was murdered while he was at Preston on cleaning detail just yards away from Anna's office. Although he was acquitted, he went on to murder again, this time in Tulsa, the victim being a pregnant dance instructor. He went to prison for 29 years for that crime. The filmmakers had no right to take Anna's story and change it, or to make her out to be a vindictive ghost when that is not the case. They have dishonored the dead who walked the halls of Preston. Just like in the movie the Conjuring, the name and story of a defenseless woman has been sullied and slandered with no way to speak for herself to tell the world that their telling of her story is false. This is not a true story, this is a work of complete fiction and slander.
It says there are 6 reviews. Then it becomes 3 critics reviews. When I check the critic review from Rotten Tomatoes there is no actual review. When I check for reviews there are none. And yet this movie has a rating of 8.5? What is going on here?
The first fifteen minutes made me believe I was in for a gritty and chilling horror flick. Not so much. Fast forward two decades and we have a predictable, completely unoriginal "group of twenty-somethings in a haunted building" movie. Not scary. Boring. A big let down after what seemed like a good start.
Please dont post bogus reviews and ratings. Half of the cast's acting truly sucks. Like they were in front of the camera for the first time.
This could have been a lot better had they got people who could actually act.. From the start I lost interest due to the poor dialog and acting..the budget must have been very for this film as nearly the same tune is played out in the entire movie and every murder happened off screen with the audience left with just the sound of the killings...I don't normally rate movies on this as you can tell..but my God this is bad...
