    You ever wish...

    Somebody you knew would just die? That's how I felt watching this catastrophe. I wanted the main character to die so fast, so often, so much, just so there would be something going on in the movie. It actually started off not bad. And by started off, I mean with the kids on the bike. As soon as the actual lead character showed up, everything went down hill. And the plot you figured out 2 minutes after he started speaking.

    The male actor's bio says he's been recording and acting since he was a child with his father's camcorder. I'd like to see that. His acting in this was dry, droll, and irritating. He wasn't believable as a father or a writer. He wore the same thing the entire movie, even tho days were clearly changing. He spoke so softly that I had to laugh when he yelled at his daughter. And his crying with no tears was as bad as the people on Maury claiming they don't know who the father is. The daughter was ok. There really wasn't much for her to do. But I never understood why she wasn't in school. Or why he would bring her to this house, which was also never explained.

    If you want a movie with no plot and no ending, and random characters thrown in with weird flashbacks, or flash forwards (couldn't really tell), then pick this up.

    I should have known better

    What can I say? Well when the film started its titles ended with the fact that it was written, starred, directed and I think produced by the same guy and another of the writers was the main lead. That was que for me to turn off.

    It was an absolute boreathon from start to finish...the most exciting thing was a door banging shut and opening several times which made me think that it sounded like people leaving the room for fear of being bored to death..

    Do yourself a big favour and switch off before switching on.

    Predictable n nothing happens for nearly 75 mins.

    The film started well with two kids bicycling around n as they approach an abandoned house, hope starts to rise when they show a ghost near the window.... But as soon as a writer along with his physically challenged kid moves into the same house on a Halloween nite, the film became very predictable. We see the typical stuff, some same scenes over n over again, just two characters in a single location n nothing scary happens. Generous with a 4 for the effort cos this cud have been a good scary movie if they wud have added some new thing rather than the predictable stuff. U jus cant show purgatory stuff for 100 mins n expect fellas to get scared.

    Bad acting and NOT scary

    Predictable, slow, awful acting. Don't understand why people keep reviewing it 9 or 10 unless they are people actually involved in making the film! It is truly dreadful and very boring!!

    Tedious horror

    I couldn't say this is the worst horror film I've watched, because frankly I've watched some doozys in my time, but this was so boring. The acting, particularly from the main character, was so boring. Watching him try to find his words while talking to his daughter was like watching a kettle boil. The story itself had potential, but it needed a charismatic actor to carry it, and I'm sorry to say this guy just wasn't it. Not one I would grab off the shelf to watch again in a hurry.
