Storyline
In Smithville, Texas, the teenagers Brian, Abby, Travis and Danny are classmates of the Smithville High School and best friends. One day, they are reading Macbeth for a class and they decide to investigate the rumors that the house of the mortician Ely Vaughn is haunted by ghosts. They see shadows in the upper window and they break in the house to see what is happening and they see a corpse lying on the bed; however, they are surprised by Ely that kills Danny, pushing him to fall off the staircase. Nobody believes in the teenagers since Ely is a respectable citizen, but Travis and Abby decide to prove that the undertaker is a psychopath. Will they be successful in their intent? —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

by the numbers
Dennis Quaid might give this movie an interesting note, but all in all, you might find it quite uninteresting and not even worth the (kind) 5 points I gave it. But beneath the weal premise the movie delivers on its premise most of the time. The supporting cast is decent enough to stand its ground.
But the real winner is the casting of Mr Quaid. While he has phoned in quite a few performances over the last year, it seems like he took this as a new challenge. It doesn't change the fact, that there are quite a few bumps along the ride (especially concerning his character and/or the overall story), but it still works nicely.
