Crappy film

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Two families in search for a new home are advised by a quirky real estate agent of an available location for the right price. The first family arrives at the deserted farmhouse, but it doesn't feel right. As they attempt to leave the drive just brings them back to the same spot at lot 6485. A bit bewildered, they begin to fear they are stuck in real estate hell. Then another family arrives and can't actually believe what is happening. The two families don't exactly see eye to eye, but they realize they are being haunted by a former owner, who declares only a deserving clan will occupy the homestead...his! A psychological and supernatural thriller that features a ho-hum cast: Marc Singer, Art LaFleur, Victoria Vance, Hayley DuMond, Paul McGill, Emma Rayne Lyle with Jon Cobb playing the weird Realtor.

I picked this up at Redbox when it looked like the best of what I hadn't already seen from there, and was pleasantly surprised. As many others have stated, the premise is old, people stuck in a place from which they inexplicably cannot escape, but the "twist" is new (at least to me). There are some plot holes, and one GIGANTIC hole in particular, but if you're able to do some suspension of belief, you'll enjoy the movie. The cover/promo picture is misleading and insinuates it's gory, but there's relatively little gore. The acting is decent and the DVD includes a "behind the scenes" special feature which I always enjoy.In short, if you're a fan of the genre and not sure what to watch, you'll probably like this movie.

This movie is part of a horror sub-genre we could define as "cyclic movies", where at the end one or more of the characters return where they were at the beginning, or, like in this case, where other characters were at the beginning. I can name a lot of them: "House", "Farmhouse", "Reeker" , "Dark Country", and so on. I have to admit this is not my favourite horror genre, but in everyone of the four titles I have previously mentioned I can find something interesting. This one, instead, is really boring, and its length is clearly utterly exorbitant because of the really poor script. Thus, if you are not a die-hard fan of "paranormal house" movies I strongly suggest not to loose time with this one.

"Two very different families search for the perfect house to call home. When both families show up at a deserted farmhouse, it quickly becomes clear that something is not right. After rescuing Hanna, a lost girl whose tongue has been cut out, they discover that every attempt to leave the farm takes them right back to the front door" I bought this film of the shelf in a supermarket, quite cheap and figured well the bad acting will be amusing at least since most films I buy like that are! Well I put it off for a week or so and was at a loose end so thought why not give it a watch.I am so glad I did - I was glued! It's not your typical gore-fest most Horror lovers seem to like nowadays, more cerebral as the characters descend into desperation and become haunted by their own personal demons the longer they are trapped. The film doesn't explain itself to you and requires you to put yourself in that mindset - what would you do? and I think that is what a lot of people don't like, it just is.The acting was convincing enough, characters believable and setting was relatable. The actors in the film I hadn't heard of except for Marc Singer who was in Beastmaster (1982)when I was 4/5, but that didn't bother me. I hated the characters who were nasty and empathised with others who were trying to make the best of it which means to me they are doing a good enough job.Overall, a good find. If you want all out horror, gore and jumping out of your seat terror then this is not for you. However, if you find you want something interesting and creepy give it a go!
