Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Excellent, smart action film.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This movie is a proof you can still make cheap horror flick that is actually quite interesting.I would really not describe this movie as a "good", because the actors are kinda wooden and the script seems to be somewhat incoherent. But the story is actually pretty cool. It reminds me of classic like "Young Goodman Brown".The atmosphere of the place, "the house that is going to be demolished" is creepy. Not because of its unique architecture or meaning (like in The Toolbox Murders), but rather because of the very strange people who still live in the house. Especially the young female tramp gave me creeps (she seems never to blink, that's really unsettling!) The story of the main character, the caretaker, is actually very good. It's not modern gory horror, but rather the old psychological one, which is good. The ambitions of the authors of the movie were probably beyond their budget and resources so if you want your "bag of popcorn, blood and screams" you are going to be disappointed. But if you wish to see something slower yet chilling you will tolerate the weak spots here and there.

I really must applaud Jon Springer for having the knowhow to make a serious, creepy, indie horror flick in this era where the majority of indie horror efforts attempt to be comedic. I also must applaud him for casting Mark Borchardt from American Movie in the lead role. Borchardt is terrific in his role as a drunken ex-reporter who is plagued and haunted by demonic forces following the death of his wife. The bad reviews on this site are clearly the work of angry trolls, so please ignore them, and check out what might be one of the best indie horror films of the past 10 years. If you miss out on it, you will never forgive yourself.

I have to say that this is a surprisingly worthwhile no budget horror film if you can get by the bad acting, editing and some serious lows in the dialogue. Otherwise it's stylish, has a pretty good plot, a few twists and turns (that would have been carried off better with some better acting, editing and dialogue) some moments of tight scripting and some great reactions from the weird the Dude/Napolean Dynamite hero of the films.If you're looking for the screw twist of Lake Mungo or the outright ridiculousness of a Troma film look elsewhere, and if you're a snob you probably won't even sit through a half hour but if you liked Evil Dead or Doom you should be able to get a kick out of this. As a silly horror film for a horror fan to watch inebriated for a bit of a thrill I would say that you couldn't go too far wrong with this.

This movie dragged on worse than a political speech...I actually found myself rooting for the demons to kill off the boring main character to stop his droning voice that wouldn't end.The Black and White film added nothing to this film except perhaps it saved on using color film. I would suggest using a camcorder for this stinker so it could be recorded over.The best actor in this film was the Sphinx cat who did a great job of not running away from embarrassment for being in this movie.The demon at the end was really cheesy, I think it was one of those rubbery Boglin hand puppets from the 80's.
