Sorry, this movie sucks

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Just when I thought that I've seen the worse movie in my life so far; this came along. Don't waste your time - it is truly awful.

Okay, I would probably give this three stars except for the glaringly obvious fake reviews that bumped the rating points enough that I wasted time trying to watch this clunker. It's not good. It's really not. I get how incredibly time-consuming, complicated, expensive, exhausting and exhilarating it must be to make and be part of the community that pulls any production together. Maybe by the time it's all over and the people involved get to watch what they've made, they can't help but love it. I wasn't one of those people. I'm one of the people who watches films like this and wonders who on earth invested the time, money and talent and still ended up with something so dull and clichéd. It must be worth it at some point -- but it's surely frustrating for people like myself who wanted to invest a quiet weeknight in an enjoyable movie, and instead got suckered into a time-waster like this. It's not even that I'm particularly picky or jaded -- this is just a dull movie with slow-moving scenes, and the kind of plot you can predict the next scene or twist with nearly 100% accuracy.

The Charnel house is an interesting film. It takes a rather familiar genre and backstory, but blends it with a much darker, sinister, and more disturbing twist. A long abandoned slaughter house is turned into a modern, inviting apartment building. But something is already there, something that has been there for many years, just waiting for a chance to be unleashed.What can I say? This is a classic and enjoyable horror movie that blends the best of multiple horror genre's into one spooky and unnerving film that will leave the viewer shaken.Don't miss it!

This is a compelling, spooky and -- unusual for the genre -- smart film. Callum Blue as the protagonist and Mackenzie Moss as his daughter put out exceptionally strong performances. The story is based somewhat on the traditional ghost-thriller structure but with several unusual twists. The central idea of a former slaughterhouse transformed into pricey lofts gives the movie the perfect set-up for a high octane haunted house setting. That the "haunting" is done by a ghost quite unlike the usual specter-phantom-poltergeist gives the movie a flavor unlike most other ghost stories. There is violence (and some blood to go along with it) but it's not excessive and is obviously not the central theme of the story. The Charnel House is definitely worth a watch!
