lusciousmuffins This film had decent actors and the scenery and camera work was also better than other B horror movies I've scene. Unfortunately, it was still painful to watch. The real problem was that the whole thing made zero sense. And I'm not referring to "ghosts aren't real" no sense; I mean it was an illogical mess. First off, while audiences can buy into willing suspension of disbelief, they shouldn't be treated like they are stupid. For example, you are supposed to believe that on the night of a man's execution a psychologist from a small town arranges for some random teen to visit with the prisoner while he eats his last meal because the good doctor thinks it might help her with some hallucinations she's been having. Naturally, they visit one on one because why would a guard want to interfere with their little heart tot heart. WTF??? Then again, the psychologist also thought it was ethical to take on his son's girlfriend as a patient, after he forbid her to see said son. Oh yeah, and the man on death row also gives the young protagonist a ring because, sure, they would let a death row prisoner keep jewelry and then give it to strangers. Secondly, this movie was rife with story lines and characters that went nowhere. I imagine the film's makers thought they were using misdirection, but really, they were just throwing a bunch of stuff into the movie that served no purpose other than to annoy the audiences. There was one kid in particular who they kept bringing in over and over until he announces he has critical info for the main character and is on his way to see her, but she blows him off and then...That's it! You never find out if he did or didn't know anything relevant or if he came over like he said he would. He was just there, then gone. Like many characters in the film he offered nothing to story, he was just filler.Thirdly, the dialog was painful at times. I mean, you actually end up feeling bad for the actors. Most of the things they had to say were either so unnatural it's a wonder no one stopped and demanded a rewrite or it was so nonsensical you'd think they stop, raise their hands and point out that it made no sense because watching it I sure wanted to.Lastly, this movie had no logical consistency. First the ghosts are attacking the girl, alternating between trying to kill her and get a ring off her finger. Then, they somehow become her protectors who are trying to lead her to the horrible truth...gasp, gasp. The horrible truth by the way is pretty dumb and, like most everything else, very hard to believe. Of course by the time you reach the big reveal you just want everyone to die because the movie was so damn dumb.Bottom line, this movie came across like it was written by a high schooler who didn't have a proofreader. It was just a jumble of dead ends, inconsistencies, and painfully stilted dialog. What made it all that much more frustrating is that you know someone competent could have taken the same actors and resources and turned them into a film that

Jon Patrick I added this movie to my "to watch" list months ago but only just got around to watching it, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I finally got around to seeing it. Suffice to say hugely impressed by the quality of the movie and wish I had watched it sooner.Every aspect of the production was good but it was story arc and the twists in the plot that really makes it stand out. After I started writing my review I took a glance at the IMDb rating and couldn't help but chuckle when I saw that it was currently a 4.7. For anyone who may consider paying any sort of credence to that ridiculous number I would suggest you pay no attention and watch the movie for yourself.The acting as a whole was very good but there were two fantastic performances that need mentioning in Alix Elizabeth Gitter as Jordan and Tara Westwood as her psychotic aunt. Neither of these ladies have their own Wikipedia pages to my astonishment – they deserve a lot of recognition for their talents. There were two negatives and I'll mention them separately. Firstly I think Jordan's lack of friends or lack of emphasis on her social life other than the two love interests hinders the movie. It would have been good to show whether or not she did have a circle of friends rather than ignore that issue to make it a bit more relatable. The second issue was an oversight with the plot towards the end where Robbie is supposed to meet her at the back of the house but, after being attacked, this obviously doesn't take place. However, they don't mention Robbie afterwards or explain whether he just gave up and went home or continued to wait.The highest praise of all should be awarded to the ending of the movie and how satisfying it was. Usually horror movies will falter or lose steam towards the end but this movie saved the best drama for last. If anything there should have been more of a struggle between the Aunt/Uncle and Larry/Jordan as it ends up being quite an easy comeuppance. On that note the ending does come about rather quickly, so in retrospect they could have made it a bit longer to allow for everything to sink in and to explain where Jordan goes from here. It was a little rushed in that respect, but honestly I was on such a high from the satisfying conclusion that I didn't really notice until now.All in all I would highly recommend this to fans of the genre and feel compelled to congratulate them on a great piece of work.

GL84 Moving to a quiet suburb after her parents' death, a teenage girl finds herself embroiled in a mystery by a pair of twin ghosts to solve their murder they may or may not be connected with her distant relatives she just moved in with.This is a rather enjoyable enough Lifetime Channel ghost story even if it's pretty familiar and generic most of the time. As far as these general types of 'Righting Wrong' style of ghost movies go, where they appear to someone in a plea to fix a mistake seen by many in the community who are grossly misled by the real perpetrators or part of it themselves, the horror comes from the fact that there's plenty of ghostly encounters out of nowhere or strange shocks that come up, but then drop off in order to invest in the mystery surrounding everything and finally at the end bring everything to a conclusion. That's how this one plays out, and it certainly hits those familiar notes quite well and often in the beginning which usually pulls out the clichéd notion of the victim thinking they've gone crazy constantly seeing ghosts everywhere which does make for this one being so run-of-the-mill and ordinary during this main section of the film. That the mystery this one becomes embroiled in has a pretty gruesome story at the center of it all does help the middle going while the teens investigate this and holds off the ghostly encounters until the end when the real culprit comes forward and centers the film around that new-found angle and brings back the ghostly happenings in a fun if admittedly dry finale. There's not a whole lot of real true horror in this one in terms of bloodletting, gore, dead bodies or such as the ghosts' preference is to help initiate the investigation into why they're there and killing off the one who'll do that won't help matters, so as long as that factor isn't an issue, this is a fine effort.Rated Unrated/PG-13: Violence, Language, drug use and children-in-jeopardy.

gavin6942 A small town is haunted by the twin daughters of a wrongfully convicted man. Young Jordan (Alix Elizabeth Gitter) is sent down the path to who the real killer is only to find the killer is very close to her.I figured this was going to be yet another disposable film with no names and little inspiration. I was wrong on both counts. One, it actually has a cast member (Erick Avari) whose face you have seen other places. And two, it is far better than the average "haunting" film because the story is not really about the ghosts at all.I have to single out James Cavlo as Larry, and I hope to see Cavlo in more things. In this film he seemed to be referencing "American Werewolf in London" by his style, and I am unsure if this was intentional. His look and delivery were excellent, so I hope we see him in bigger things in the future.The lead actress, Alix Gitter, is also excellent. She seems to have done even less than Cavlo, though her growing list of films might catch someone's eye. She is talented and has a look that I think would take her far in Hollywood. I hope so.
