I liked the idea for this film. Resurrection of a loved one is a fairly popular story recently with "Baghead", and an Unquiet Grave" and others being produced.
The are several problems with this film. It is about 20 minutes too long, and the plot revelations don't escalate smoothly. There are repetitive scares throughout that don't add to the tension or provide explanation for the plot.
Basically, a husband attempts to use a questionable ritual involving a full burlap bag to cure his wife of cancer. There are rules to follow, which are violated by him and others, but he gets what he wanted . . . I think. I can't tell because his wife actually dies first and he has to shift gears and put her in the bag, which creates a whole new set of circumstances. There are consequences to his wish, and I think it means his friends must die?
There are many scenes of delusion, dreams, hallucinations, and apparitions for the husband. This becomes a problem because they only serve to confuse the viewer and the effect wears thin after the first few appearances. I think less is more here.
Finally, I can't understand the ending. Can anyone?
