GL84 After a devastating accident, a woman comes to believe her twin sisters' recently-deceased son has come back through her new child to continue his relationship with her daughter and must stop his possessive nature.This was an incredibly limp and lifeless affair as there's hardly anything worthwhile here. The biggest plus here is that it does a rather nice job of making the possession seem realistic, from the drawings of the future to the secretive behavior in the twins' relationship as well as the marks on her body. All of this is nicely explained and given some real thought, especially in the later half when that behavior starts to get into rather freaky territory with their growing attachment and expensive gifts that seem to hide something more to it. It also features one rather cool sequence where the daughters' thrashing around in bed and they come rushing in to see what's wrong, and once seeing it's a charm bracelet as the cause remove it immediately only to find a supernatural cause flying in and wrecking the room. However, nothing is really interesting here due to the film's nature since it can't really go too extreme or terrifying, literally cutting this one off from the points that would've sold this one the most. The fact that the possession really amounts to mouthing off at the mother, hiding away from her to go be with the sister in secret and not sharing anything about their activities together and in general not showing off any kind of truly thrilling or terrifying actions here is what really stands out since this allows more for the network audience to connect to the characters and the situations yet plagues this as a horror effort. That leaves a lot of rather boring scenes that don't have any impact due to how toned down or brief all these supposed scares are which in the end leaves it really wanting despite a few solid moments here and there.Rated Unrated/PG-13: Mild Violence, some Language and intense themes of child loss and trauma.
brittanyls At first, I only watched this movie because Kim Raver was in it, but within the first 5 minutes I was hooked! I will definitely recommend this movie!! This is a great movie; the acting is great, the storyline line is interesting!! It's a great mix of scary and at times sweet! I was on the edge of my seat for some of the scenes-(that has rarely happened watching anything other than X-Files). I love the way Erica's dream sequences are filmed. The black and white colors add to the eeriness of the scenes- with only small amounts of color coming through! I have loved Kim Raver since watching her on 'Third Watch' and especially on '24', but she shows her incredible amount of talent with playing the 2 main roles. She is amazing in how she plays two completely different people! "good" Erica", and "evil" Heather. Two thumbs up for this movie! Big time!
JowySiren The only thing I could think of was "just awful". I found some of the scenes, particularly the ending ones, gratuitous and that such a thing can only be forgiven if the movie/show is stylishly slick or or outright exceptional. This movie was neither.Basically, a young boy dies in an accident and his cousin named Sarah is haunted by his spirit(which for some never really well explained reason is evil. Buh?) There's some supposedly creepy things that happen and Sarah ends up being close to death and the mother(who is an identical twin)has to have son for her to survive(since David wants to come back to life).The movie just fails because it has that generic Lifetime feel that both tries too hard yet not hard enough. Only the Sarah girl was any good. Everyone else was just wooden. I have to admit though, I did like the leather costume on one of the twin women. That was pretty cool, but before and after that was either lame(kid in Devil mask? Bah!), needlessly disgusting(I don't think a C-section should have been that graphic. YECH! Only House and CSI could get away with that), or just "meh"(amulets to ward off spirits? How original).If you're a die hard spirit horror fan, you might like it. If not, best to steer clear. I should have.
twocortwort7 I admit that at first the previews kind of scared me and I wasn't going to watch this movie. Just the title turned me off really, but come Monday night at 8:55pm I was like, OK I am going to watch this movie. I had the TV turned to Lifetime anyways. (one of my favorite channels) At first, I thought, gosh its going to be a real spooker because of the masks at the beginning with the Halloween party and I almost turned the channel! But as it went on, I got into it. I knew about David dying in the previews, but it got me when his spirit went "Sarah!" I felt so bad for Heather, but I was upset they killed David so early on in the movie.But how David's spirit made weird things happen, like when Rosie gave Sarah the friendship bracelet, I had a feeling that David wasn't going to like that and nor was I shocked that he was trying to hurt/kill Sarah by tightening the bracelet. And then the doll house, that was really spooky to me! But I had a feeling when Erica became pregnant, she was going to have the re-incarnation of David or twins. Just that odd feeling to myself.I never imagined this movie would end the way it did with Sarah jumping off the roof! I was in tears when this happened! And then the dramatic birth of the twins, all though seeing the first one born was a girl, I was like oh Gosh! Sarah is going to die. But then thinking down those lines of twins I was like the next one will be a boy.The ending left me hanging with Sarah calling her brother Jack "David" but it's like is it over for real this time or not?
