Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

ada46 We don't agree with the harsh reviews of this movie. This is a haunted house flick, and having lived in a big old haunted Victorian, we thought they did a very realistic job of giving you the feeling of what that is like. It's not constant terror or horror, but lots of creepy, weird things happening that you are always trying to explain away (seeing figures, crashes in the attic, noises and voices). The seance was a good idea, as that was very popular during the Victorian times and they did good job of making it seem like it could be a hoax. Our frustration was with the thin story line about the haunting (what was going on with the original family, what happened to the girl, etc). You can make an educated guess, but revealing that story through the haunted chest in the attic would have been much more interesting and scary and would have led to a better ending which seemed rushed and hokey. We thought the characters were well rendered and believable, seemed like a real family, not saccharine where you root for them to get offed. This is one where it would be worth someone with better writing skills taking a shot at fleshing it out. Has the potential to be a really good scary movie. Seemed like the unscrupulous Realtor idea came from American Horror Story's first season. Now that was scary!

gil-191-414728 There was really no backstory to the haunting. At the beginning of the movie we see a seance gone wrong, but it flimsily just makes it that the medium dies and is now the evil spirit killing everyone in the seance. No backstory on the spirit itself, just a quick how do you do and off to the sad family with bratty kids and clueless father. Then we get a mediocre build up that just kind of stumbles along and an ending that seemed like it was done with the motivation that 'well, the movie has to end so let's do this.'

avalonjoyous Let me get the positive out of the way the seance beginning was not bad and the acting regarding the the medium was pretty good I was pretty impressed to be honest.When she spoke her voice was very pleasant to the ear and sounded sophisticated and worldly.Now with the good out of the way this movie sucked so badly it's just indescribable .Suffice it to say the kid actors are dull as dishwater and can't act for crap seriously.The movie was also boring and barely anything happened up until near the end of the movie.Suffice it to say even near the ending it was unbelievably bad and the oldest daughter was by far one of the worst actresses EVER.Just watch her give the worst performance ever near the end of the movie it is truly hilarious.The father was so so his acting was alright but he also overacted horribly in this movie .The ending I won't spoil but I'll just say this it's beyond hilarious and the SCARES in this movie are nonexistent,cheap,bad,and cliché. Highly NOT recommended .

michaudjo-456-238213 This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. There is no plot, no reason for this movie to even exist. It's not scary in any sense--no jump scares, no gross-outs, no psychological terror, nothing. Meaningless scenes come one after another with no reference to anything we're supposed to care about in the movie. Different shots of the same scene are sometimes so poorly edited that you see a character doing the same movement twice, unintentionally. And the summary that's given about possessed items in the attic is based on a huge inconsistency, and it's not intentional.And it's hard to care about ANY of the characters when they are this bad. We don't get a backstory on any of them. There aren't dramatic pauses when there should be, just stone-faced actors hurriedly rambling off lines to end the scene. The lines are so forced, it's as if all these people hated each other and were trying not to vomit.The only scary thing about this movie is that it was actually released. I know there's a niche for intentionally bad movies, like Sharknado and Birdemic and anything with Danny Bonnaduche.But this isn't intentionally bad, it's just annoying.I've seen better movies on RiffTrax/MST3K. They'd have a field day with this garbage.
