To me, this movie is perfection.

... View MoreI found this movie to be too very flawed. Of course its a made for TV movie, but I've seen much better TV movies. The movie starts off with a young woman who has lost her father and inherits a wealthy mansion. The wealthy mansion is apparently either haunted or she is insane, because she has these really fake 'visions' throughout the movie. The ghosts look like people wearing halloween masks. And there is simply no jumpy scenes or scare the hell out of you looks from any of the characters. None of the characters in the movie make you want to save them, except the little girl who has acted pretty well. I most certainly started to predict where the story would lead to, but in the end, the movie had such a pathetic twist, that I felt like I had wasted my entire evening. Do yourself a favor and get some sleep. You didn't miss anything.
... View MoreSPOILERSShort and sweet, made for TV movie that is a variation on a plot that has been done about a million times... Think Ghost Whisperer, or any other "psychic" ghost story. I guessed who the killer was from the beginning...Briefly..unforgivable plot problems, and unbelievable directing flaws: (1) Originally told by lawyer at house the only thing her father left her with was the house, and an old rusty metal box which he had brought with him. THEN he tells her at his office that she had inherited her father's estate worth $11 million!!!! Hmmm...why didn't he say that in the FIRST PLACE?? THE BOX!!! IF the ONLY thing you were given as an inheritance (at first) was a house and a rusty box, why didn't they (wife and husband, and daughter) have even the SLIGHTEST curiosity about what was in the box??? They didn't get around to opening up the box until they had already moved to the new house and had been there for some time... Weren't they just a bit curious to know that if there were important papers, documents, gold, jewelry etc. etc. in the box??? When she goes to open the box, the padlock was already opened!!!! Who did THAT?(2) Since the father was still alive when the murders took place...how could he have already willed his daughter the house in order to catch the serial killer? OTHERWISE, did he just leave her the house because he was guilty, and the bad cop just happened to use THAT house to all of a sudden after years on the police force, become a crazed killer??I could go on and on, but this film was like all the other lifetime, and SiFi Channel movies, contrived, stupid, and BAD!!!
... View MoreA young woman (Emma Caulfield), along with her daughter and relatively new husband, moves into a home left for her by her estranged father, who is suspected in the death of her mother, and possibly in the deaths of several other women. The house is beautiful (and free, as mentioned previously--never accept a gift of a free beautiful house), so of course weird things start to happen--people peering down from windows, mysterious puddles of water on the floor, ghostly creatures crawling on ceilings. Is she losing her mind or is she just a psychic, like her deceased mother? As an adoring fan of Caulfield from her Buffy days, I was prepared to like this film, but found it extremely boring, derivative, and unoriginal. And as lovely as she is, how many times do we really need a shot of Caulfield staring into a mirror while ghosts creep up behind her? (Apparently, six or seven).
... View MoreVery cool TV movie. Far better than most, in fact.Think "The Grudge" meets "What lies beneath", meets "CSI" and you'll have a good idea of the tone this pic manages to pull off. Genuinely scary in parts with a number of great JUMP scenes. At least as good as many of the horror flicks at the multiplex. The sexy Emma Caulfield, (Anye from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) looks great and acts very believably as the woman in "supernatural" peril. Keeps you guessing until the end.I'd have no problem if this gets nominated for an Emmy. There are too few TV movies of this type and quality. No big message, just a scary good popcorn time!
