If like me you've been through the process of being there throughout the dying process of a dad, mother, loved one or friend this film will strike a chord with you. Moreso if they were affected by cancer. That's why I decided to watch this movie initially but that is far from the reason I've rated this film so highly.
It's a low budget film that takes place mostly in one apartment building. There's no fancy CGI or special effects. There really is no need for either of those and proves that the best films can be quite simple. It's the wonderful acting that throws this film into the masterpiece league. Bravo!

OK, not the best acting but who cares? You don't go into a film like this expecting Oscar worthy performances. It's a good fun, gore fest of a movie. Yes the plot has a thousand holes in it, yes you can see where it's going and often predictable. I've rated this film 5 stars but I would've liked to give it a solid 8 but can't - It was released too late for that. If it came out in the 80s we'd have a real classic on our hands here because you can forgive older films for having pretty corny SFX. You expect that but in today's movie world you just can't get away with holding a spear under your arm trying to make it look like it's stuck in your abdomen. Kudos to the creators though for mostly working with old style gore and effects and very little CGI (which was pretty bad).
It's a very watchable film, have a laugh, let your toes curl and just go with it. Pretend it's an old film and you'll enjoy it. Go into this expecting a masterclass by today's standards and you'll be bitterly disappointed.

Don't believe the hyperbole. Some really insanely high reviews for a middle of the road (at best) ghost story.
The acting is what saved this movie, I really can't fault that at all but as a huge horror fan I was expecting a lot more from this film. It was predictable and often quite boring at times. Yes give the film a try but don't expect to be blown away. They could have done so much more with it. After an hour I couldn't wait for it to end.
What else is there to say other than disappointing really? It seems that the writer's imagination run out and had to try and make something out of nothing.
