The old bait and switch

The case quoted one plot while the movie was well barely similar.

Case" Five cheerleaders spend the night in an abandoned farmhouse and find themselves up against a vengeful ghost.

They soon find out the spirit is from a dead boy who painted a portrait of the brother he killed forty years earlier." OK now while there are 5 girls that come off as sluts it is never really clear that they are cheerleaders. The first 2/3 of the film is spent watching them swim and party. This has an R rating but comes off like middle school porn! There is an occasional flashback of a demented older brother making the younger one kill a cat and play some awful how much do you love me game and than suggesting that the younger brother kill their father.

You do see paintings, that appear to be made with blood, of what we can only assume are other victims. BUT lets make things very clear, there is no GHOST the killing brother is alive and well killing more people and evidently has a couple of sons.

If this movie had delivered the plot the case claims it had, perhaps it would have been worth watching.
