Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

To be as fair as possible, this is not even close to the worst horror movie I have ever seen. But it is done with such a complete and total lack of any sort of spirit or élan that it just doesn't deserve anything other than the lowest possible score. the acting is bad, but not so laughably bad that it becomes fun to mock and deride. some of the actors are clearly doing their best and you can't be mad or derisive at them for it. they're at least putting in effort where it seems absolutely no one else is. and indeed, "no effort" would probably be a better theme for this film and title for this review. this film looks and feels like it was written, produced, and directed by someone who has seen exactly 4 movies in their entire life, and 3 of them were about haunted houses.The ghost hunting stuff is tepidly skimmed upon; we're just supposed to expect and take for granted that they have all this supposed ghost hunting equipment and that it means "spooky ghosts" whenever it makes noise. there's no attempt to even condescend to the audience in explaining one or two of the devices.the music is nonstop all throughout of some of the most generic, nondescript horror movie background music likely taken from an archive and put together out of some misguided belief that every single scene needs overbearing and blatantly obvious music cues as though this were a silent movie musical. it gets to a point where it's so obnoxiously overdone as to come across as amateurish as a children's horror show episode too cheap to be Goosebumps. further driving home the "knock-off children's horror show" mood is the actor playing Quentin, the host of the ghost hunting show who doesn't actually interact with the cast much and acts like what a child might imagine an A-list celebrity talks and acts like. They are a one-dimensional character straight out of Power Rangers, but with no comic relief to justify their existence here. virtually everything else about the film is so boring, generic, and formulaic as to not even warrant attention paid to it. the CG effects are bad and put center-stage so we can clearly see and admire how terrible they are, rather than used sparingly and quickly to enhance a scene. the camera work is flatly "there", as though they set up a camera, turned it on, and that's it. the lighting is as wide open and brightly lit as a sitcom, completely detracting from the mood of a horror movie, and the dialogue is too terrible to be of note, and yet somehow not bad enough to be laughable.

This is a 2010 made for US TV with noticeable commercial pauses. A group of TV ghost hunters, who have their own bag of tricks of "smoke and mirrors" opt to do a show at the Wicker House which turns out to be seriously haunted. Charisma Carpenter plays a psychic providing some minor eye-candy. The house had a fair creep factor to it and the production itself was a slightly better than average US TV offering. Worth a watch, but not a keeper.

Redbox rental. One technique was used that I thought was original was the perception of the actor compared to what is advanced in the plot! Totally different! I don't want to give it away, you will see what I mean.I enjoyed the movie! Just got through TRYING to watch "The Vow" (gag, turned off after a respectable 45 minute attempt) and "Killjoyhell" (sorta funny, but after an even more respectable 55 minutes I cut off) but I was actually able to watch this all the way through. CC may of had a little to do with it, but watching the entire movie is a plus recommendation!Certainly the plot is familiar and it is not scary to the viewer- it is not meant to be. Which means there are no annoying loud sound effect on some stupid event meant to jolt (5 year old's at this point in the movie business). Instead, you watch some jaded show-crew and producer face something unexpected. Some fine women actors top it off.

I would simply suggest watching this movie for what it is, a simple low budget horror movie. Everything in this is just correct... not bad or not that good. The story is pretty much classic , a haunted house, but they had a few thing to make it goes out of the ordinary. Special Effects are neither awesome but not bad at all, they are lets say believable. Actors where average at best but you are not watching an horror movie for its acting right? Charisma Carpenter should had less clothes on but well... lol. Seriously i enjoyed this little movie on a late night, it won't remain burned in my head for long, but it was entertaining on the moment.
