Audience Member Overall, it was a quality production given the budget. But I must say that if you reuse shots, I'd call that filler. If you've seen The Sixth Sense or The Others, the ultimate plot twist is no surprise. It was about 30 minutes into it(almost half-way through) that I realized that this film did not seem to be going anywhere (kinda like the miniseries Shogun) as the scenes really seemed to be stalling the action and the music was often overly dramatic. So, I was really hoping that a good twist was coming. I was let down. Maybe I'm being thick, but I think the film fails to explain a few things. For example, what happened to the killer? In one scene, the old lady says she isn't selling; and in the next she's apparently decided to sell. What changed her mind? If the killer had control of the estate after the death of the old couple, why did he allow the sale to proceed if he really did not want to sell? So, what was the killer's M.O. after all? Real estate is probably just too complicated to be included or explained in such relatively simple and short feature films. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Good Movie- Sad and Based on TRue story. "Watch it" Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The lead actress leaves a lot to be desired, and a lot of the best scenes are the ones shown on the movie's website's "game." Pretty okay cinematography but the acting was not up to par, even for a low-budget indie film. Not scary, not even chilling. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
