I am a big fan of thriller and horror, and I love a great haunted house story.
I'll be honest, I turned this film off after 15 minutes and watched another film but decided it wasn't fair to a film that I had been pretty keen to see so I started it from my left off position.
The acting seemed a bit... sketchy from the get go, with little to no facial expression and pretty terrible dialogue. It wasn't until about 20 minutes in that I believed the actors were actually trying.
It felt like a 1990s horror TV show ( maybe because Lance Henriksen was in it... and the lighting.)
The antagonists* of the story are very well done with make up etc. Although I felt they really seemed/looked more like zombies than ghosts.
The music really helped the movie immensely. I was epic in proportion to the rest of the movie. Dark and mysterious. Beautifully done.
There are parts that to kick and scream the film into being something well done and enjoyable.
Try and ignore the vast amount of obvious issues and stupidity of some of the characters. So much martyring, so much weakness. It really made me hate most of the characters. The end is appalling in so many ways (and not one of them a good one)
All in all, worth a watch but don't expect anything great. Still its not a D rated piece of goza so that is something.
