Lets just say I gave this movie a 1 simply because I did not get the option to give it the minus 2 it deserves. Some filmmakers should NOT be encouraged. Sadly I will never get that hour and a half of my life back as is also the case with the 4 lead actors credibility. The plot has been done to death. Young couple move into dream house, but does something sinister also reside there?. The script feels as though it has parts missing in many places, and yet the filmmaker has time to slot in a pointless scene to plug the band that provides the music for the film. All in all a terrible film with some truly awful performances. Sadly even with a massive budget and talented actors I fear this is one film that could never be saved.

The film centers on a young couple in California. He writes "real" ghost stories from interviews, but needs to do a rewrite. She is a waitress who "can't buy a job" as an actress and during their first conversation, you will know why. He put in a bid on a secluded ranch which he got, and the next moment they are ready to occupy, driving off in the Bimmer with an air mattress.

They take turns filming stuff along the way and thank goodness the producers had enough insight to also use the old fashion motion picture camera mounted on a tripod. Their journey was a waste of our time as it failed to build any character. You can fast forward through this aspect, get popcorn etc. It is sufficient to know they are both shallow airheads. You can fast forward until they get to the ranch. Really, you won't miss anything at all.

The film moves fast when it should be slow and slow when it should be fast. If you read the Amazon review or the title, you know cold creepy feeling things happen in the house that require an exorcism. After the first night, they opt to call their psychic exorcist friend who can be there the next day. Instead of wasting all that film shooting California yucca plants, Kurlander should have build up the cold creepy feeling slowly. The time the couple spends on the Internet...way too long. Get yourself a real film editor. We know your Idiot-Savant group did the sound track from the credits, was the additional plug as part of the film necessary? Was that a trance or sleep walking Chloe was doing in her panties and boots? Did she sleep with those boots on? Looked a bit odd. Was that sunlight coming through the window in the night time bar scene or was the outdoor lighting nova bright?

I have dated women who have acted more possessed than Lisa Younger (sorry Terry, I told.) I was most shocked by the fact these people had other acting credits to their name. The scary part of the movie didn't last long and there was no explanation as to what happened, just bad hints. Keith Kurlander used himself and his own family as the ghost family, perhaps the most scary convincing thing on screen for all of 10 seconds. Keith Kurlander wrote, directed, acted in, produced, edited, etc. etc. this film. If you see Keith, he now owes me $2.

F-Bomb, sex, nudity (thank you Lisa Younger)

Trust me it's good advice: Don't watch this film. I have to be completely honest and admit I turned it off after I think around 10 minutes into the film, but from the start it is obvious that it is terrible. The acting is terrible, the camera work is terrible, everything is really terrible. Even shots of the scenery were lame. What came to mind while watching it was this: 'Think about all the badly made films you have seen and then watch this to see what's good about them.' It really is worth watching the first five minutes though....... It is hilarious, though it has been some hours now that I saw it and at first I was just upset that it wasn't something (at least) watchable. And to be fair: Who knows after 10 minutes it all might have fallen right into place.
