Paul B @RT35447917 Sep 30 Just not a good movie. Could have been great with an amazing cast, but it falls short on so many levels. No explanations, not good storytelling, very limited backstory. Not sure why there was so much "ghost roller coaster" going on. Very gratuitous with the witch POV, and when it happens a second time you think "oh great here we go again". See more Korra N @RT88131552 Aug 31 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. See more Blu B @RT43513976 Jul 18 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. See more 03/27/2024 Such bad editing makes the ending so confusing See more Dawn T @Moviefan9 10/09/2023 Not worth your time. Bad concept, not scary or suspenseful, eye-rolling reveal. See more Colin M @RT35044827 07/03/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
