Korra N This isn't an inherently bad movie,but for what's supposed to be a horror film, it's barely a chiller. Still, the production is solid and the acting is good, so that's something. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Blu B It's another generic bad haunted house movie except the gimic is it's set in the 1800's. Besides that...it's literally everything you'd expect almost to a tee from one of these bad films. It starts out alright enought, fairly easy enough to follow but jumpy a bit, you can feel it's barely holding together the longer it goes. Than arounf the halfway mark it completely starts pancaking, getting repetitive, completely incoherent, very weird edits at time, and it's so dark and dull most of the time. Direction can feel obnoxious at times and just a mixed bag in general. and it isn't scary at all because it never lays out ground rules for what the spirit can do and it feels like stuff just happens the longer it goes. It never develops any character and completely wastes Sutherland and Spacek. Than the freakin screaming of the girl constantly gets sooo annoying. The editing and pacing are just terrible here. The cinematography is subpar and everything else is alright I guess. Biggest strike here is this isn't scary at all. It's just random, some jump scares, and sometimes I don't even know. Why it's told in a flashback with the modern time family I truly have no freakin idea and I have no idea why she was running after the car at the end. Skip this. Just another dime a dozen bad haunted house/paranormal movie.

Bad concept, not scary or suspenseful, eye-rolling reveal. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Colin M Supernatural tale. Told mainly in the past. But lacked a sufficient ending in the present: instead seeming to end just in the middle of something that needed more. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review Georgan G Not a horror film, really. Pretty cinematography but it took two subplots to show the haunting was about child sexual abuse.
