These reviews are creepier than the movie. The main reason for many of these glowing 7+ reviews is specifically because this is a NZ film and not an American one? Really? If you told me all these people got paid to leave 7 star reviews that specifically mentioned "NZ".... I'd believe you.

It is not a 7 star movie. This is ridiculous and it's weirding me out by how many reviews are saying the exact same thing. Specifically mentioning NZ, the NZ scenery, NZ accents....what does that have to do with anything?

Anyway, here's a real review. The acting is fine. For people who care about character stereotypes, there really are none. The characters don't really stand out for any reason and they get along swimmingly. They might as well have no names. You get no backstory at all and they get right to the point.

People saying the characters are likeable and relatable are straight up lying. You never learn anything about them. They barely even talk. Like I said they might as well be nameless.

Nothing outstanding is happening. The ghost is moving things around a lot. It's not scary at all. There was one point I thought the old guy was gonna get impaled by a rake.

Nothing happens. Literally. Spooks and scares here and there and then at the end a ghost movie suddenly becomes a zombie movie. Hand sticking out of the dirt and all.

Ghosts are not what is meant to be feared in this movie. Unfortunately the actual scary thing is seen for half a second at the very end.

I think this is a movie for people who don't actually like movies or at least movies with a story. The movie is so empty and almost pointless.

They point around their machines, magnetic fields and a baby monitor, and the girl reads the air. They get objects thrown at them by a ghost that wants them to leave and then they get eaten by a semi invisible zombie at the end. That's the movie.

But at least the NZ scenery that's shown for 30 seconds in the beginning is beautiful. 🙄
