Michael Ledo The film opens with the girl being dragged across the floor and not the closing shot. Afterwards Sarah (Morgan Faith Keith) shows her father Mike Johnson (Cameron Mowat) what she thinks of her cereal breakfast. It appears the Richmond Manor has some possession issues. Two polar opposite ghost hunters are called in to give the house a clean bill of health. Jonathan Blazer (Paul Flannery) is old school psychic equipped with candles, salt, and a Ouija board. Jack Donavan (Michael Koltes) is new school with electronic gadgets. He is also a skeptic and believes Blazer to be a phony and doesn't mind saying so. The two are tasked to spend three days in the house, come out and say "nothing happened." Except something does happen.The film starts out with music and events that make you think it is supposed to be a comedy-horror. There are later events to indicate this too, however when the film attempts to take itself seriously, it fails. Perhaps the worst scene in the film was when Jack laments about his dead wife to Blazer. We have already seen what happened in a flashback. Jack speaks very slowly taking Shatneresque dramatic pauses that dragged along giving us information we already know. Just run the clip again! There were scenes that reminded me of "House" (1985) but they didn't pan out as well. Better than most horror films out there with some originality. Paul Flannery gives a good performance with unkempt hair reminding me of a little of Gary Oldman as Sirius Black.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

hwg1957-102-265704 Two investigators, one a psychic and one a sceptic, are tasked to stay in an allegedly haunted house to prove that nothing is there so the house can be sold, or developed, or something. The two agree and before long strange things start to happen. The house has a history of violence and eventually the reason for this is discovered. The film works very well for the first two thirds but the last third descends a bit into silliness which is a shame.The location is atmospheric (Ardgour House in Scotland),the photography competent and the earlier scenes are well directed until the movie comes apart. Michael Koltes was not convincing in his role but Paul Flannery was excellent. He brought well balanced humour, feeling and intelligence to the role as the psychic.

Lewis Redding Got this on VUDU, had a cool poster advertising it so looked promising but how I was wrong, first off the greatest investigators don't know about the house, they do no research and they move around with no plan yet supposedly best in the field but no idea what to do. The music is weak, the dah-dumb dah-dumb constantly playing in repeated motifs at the same volume detracts from the stunning cinematography pushing a creepy feel, also there is a scene where paul flannery's character is explaining the ouija board and some happy music starts playing, it kills the vibe of the scene before it even starts. Also this is not a horror, its not even close to one, its not scary at any point, and it seems like the producer decided halfway through filming to go a comedy route as the opening of the movie to 30 mins in, changes completely in tone in the later half. Paul Flannery who plays Jonathan Blazer however is absolutely amazing, this dude cracks me up, delivering a performance which will secure him for many future film productions. The CGI that is used was a waste of money, it did nothing to help, only destroy the movie, it kills it seriously. Bar the cinematography and the performance by Flannery, this movie is awful.

Grys Jones Firstly the positives: the poster, awesome. Very Army of Darkness feel. Secondly: Paul Flannery - delivery was great, just a hint of light-heartedness & gravitas. Thirdly: cinematography was good - not enough dark or shadows but generally OK. . Sadly that's where the positives stop. . Unfortunately Michael Koltes was flat & delivery was ordinary. His timing & tone need work. His facial expression was just as flat. There was a lot of "Dean Winchester" style about the character without the bluster, fun or aggression. . The story was fairly typical of this type of movie & had potential to be a fun/action movie. . Certainly not the best movie nor the worst.
