User Reviews

Seemed like such a good premise for a horror movie

After reading the plot synopsis on the back of the DVD box, I was primed for a funny horror movie, with a clever story.

While the movie did deliver some funny/ironic lines, and was sort of a novel twist on the tired "haunted house" genre, it failed to ever really engage me, and the characters rarely rose above silly stereotypes.

Aside from some decent paranormal special effects, the overall "look" of the movie was cheap and low budget, which isn't always necessarily a bad thing, but I think it did hinder my enjoyment of the film.

I was looking forward to Barry Bostwick's turn as the priest, but was half asleep by the time he made his appearance...

All in all, I would have to sadly not recommend this movie.
