artpf The graduation student Mark is developing a monograph work about contemporary myths, and he interviews the psychiatrist Dr. Theodore Rosen, who was treating Carl Bryce, a deranged teenager that killed his parents twenty years ago. The body of Carl has never been found and there is an urban legend that the spot is a cursed place since slavery times, causing madness and death to those that trespass the area. Mark invites his friends Eric, Tyler, Kristy Goodman and Sharon to help him in his research in the old real estate. Once there, a mysterious killer starts to execute and chase the group, with the survivors trying to escape alive.Excruciatingly slow horror movie. Talk talk talk and no action.Don't waste your time.

reeves2002 I wasn't sure about this low budget horror movie for the longest time because I have to admit I didn't like the DVD cover art on it.It makes the movie look cheap and b-rated. I like the movie's alternate title called trespassing which is what they all did. I was surprised to learn I actually liked the movie and found it to be chilling and interesting.The opening scene reminded me a lot of the opening of a movie called hatred of a minute which was also about a boy being physically abused and then grows up to be a monster. And then it's 20 years later and we meet the rest of the cast.After all the humor and some lame dialog happens, 2 brothers and 3 friends go up to investigate an area that was rumored to be haunted and cursed after many tragic occurrences took place over the years.It was as soon as they entered the house that the movie got eerie and started to get frightening. It is an effective ghost story with lots of tension and a creepy soundtrack.I was watching this movie late at night all alone so I guess it may have had an effect on me, and either my mind was playing tricks on me or there was a presence in my apartment. For an independent and low budget film it did seem like one of the better ones.

darrenjames74 I just wanted to write this because the other critic seemed quite harsh. This little movie was quite a fun and scary surprise with very adequate acting and directing. This is a slasher/ghost story that kept me on the edge of my seat and just tense enough to keep me up right now to write this. It does have similarities with some other major motion pictures like Texas and Wrong Turn but also to Session9, because it is subdued in a way and keeps the viewer guessing. The sounds are very well executed as is the lack of sound in some scenes. This silence becomes very threatening at times especially in the darker scenes. All I can say is I really liked it a lot. Watch it alone with the lights OUT.

jimgrigsby Stop and think about it...did anyone NOT notice the "old haunted house" that on the outside looked like it just came off one of those new siding commercials, yet the inside looked abandoned? Who was mowing the lawn and taking care of the flowers by the steps - hey this is in the swamps and grass grows year long.Some of the reviewers comments, especially the ones that rated this film a "10" well, yeah, I used to smoke that stuff too before going to a movie...I was surprised to see the soundtrack in Dolby, not Ultra-Stereo or some other second rate sound system. Did anyone notice how s-l-o-w the end credits rolled and that horrible sound (some call music) that went with the end credits?
