User Reviews

Not the worst, but NOT the best.

As far as the haunted house genre of movie, this one was not one of the best in it's field, by far, however there have been much worse. The acting was actually not that bad at all. The actress who plays "Gaby" also has a role on the MTV show Teen Wolf. This is also not the first role for any of the cast, so more or less, they get the job done. While I understand that this was based off something that happened at a real crematorium, I believe they went about explaining everything in a what that was not very believable. I hate the type of movies where the lead characters do plan stupid stuff just to the movie doesn't end. Everyone knows that no one in their right mind would do something "like that" but they always end up doing it anyway. I say, if you're bored, you have nothing to lose. Just don't spend money on it.
