One of the best films i have seen

Absolutely Fantastic

The first must-see film of the year.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A slight improvement over the boring first part, that is to say this is slightly less boring. Starts off with several characters who already know about the supernatural, which gives the movie a chance to be slightly less unoriginal than the standard ghost flick. Unfortunately, that slight potential is underused, and we end up instead with a repetitive abduction flick.Girl is safe. Girl gets abducted. Girl is found. Repeat.The story makes no sense. So the guy who is considered a friend/saviour of slave runaways turns out to be both a good guy and a bad guy? That is one of the most schizophrenic plot-twists ever: apparently he helped slaves escape AND he killed a few by adding them to his taxidermist collection! Stupid beyond belief. A sadistic sociopath and a friend-in-need at the same time? "Look, I save so many slaves, surely I have the moral right to kill a few for my twisted little hobby, right?" Who the hell comes up with nonsense like that?There's no explanation why the taxidermist is a physically active ghost who can hurt the living, while his fellow ghost victims cannot interact: their only ability is to look glum and point their hands to one direction or another like wooden zombies. In that sense they're no smarter or more useful than a badly-trained hamster. Is there no equality among ghosts? Ironic, due to the slavery sub-plot.Dumber still, the wife sees ghosts yet doesn't believe her daughter's visions. Very silly indeed. How do you turn a character like HER into a rabid skeptic? Well, you CAN, as long as your aim is to write bad scripts.The less said about the moronic title, the better: more evidence of schizophrenia. Connecticut or Georgia? Just imagine the title: "Escape From New York 3: The Prisoners of Teheran".Oh well, at least the movie has nicely filmed forest scenes.

Based on a true event this flick sadly doesn't deliver. The acting is okay and above mediocre but for a ghostly story it never becomes frightening. I mean, for horror geeks it isn't frightening. For beginners in the genre they will jump here and there but for me there are a few problems.The effects used are sometimes rather simple and are mostly done with colour grading turning colours to sepia and to black and white. It makes it flashy but it doesn't add a thing towards the atmosphere. On the other hand, seeing ghost disappear purely done with fading in editing gives it a cheap look. There are a few good moments on that I must agree but overall it is a mediocre flick clearly not made for the geeks. Ideal to watch with your teens. One scene did remind me of the excellent Masters of Horror episode Imprint, but be honest, Imprint was much better.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Review: This is wasn't too bad. As usual, no one listened to the little girl who is seeing dead people, which made this film not that original and pretty irritating in places. It seemed quite repetitive and a drag in places but I have seen worse. I wanted the director to get on with the core of the storyline because he spent ages filming dead people popping around the house doing mysterious things. When it finally gets going, it ends up being an average paranormal movie but what got to me was the ending when you see the actually people that went through the odd experience. I honestly thing that the director should have got some decent actors to play the roles because the little girl was the only person that really stood out. Average!Round-Up: I'm not a big fan of horror movies so I'm not the best person to review this movie. I did like the little girl in this movie, who put the adults to shame, but the script wasn't good enough to make me think that it was a classic. It's another one of those horror movies when the audience are shouting at the screen saying "Get Out Of the House" but as usual, the adults just don't listen. There are so many weird things happening around the family in there new house, it really makes you wonder if they enjoyed getting visited by dead people. Anyway, there are some parts that are pretty gruesome, but in all, it's your everyday horror movie.Budget: $9million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into there paranormal movies about family who move to a new house and end up seeing dead people. 3/10

Years ago Discovery had a short run series "A Haunting" that spawned a longer series. First episode was in Connecticut, second was in Georgia. Connecticut was a truly scary show, Georgia not so much. They made the first into a mediocre movie that at least had some of the original elements in place. I guess they figured "Why not?" and made this really poor film.Other than the family and the ghost of the previous owner Mr. Gordy, this film goes way off the rails early. Any pretense of build-up or true fright is abandoned for constant half-seen visions, shock scenes, quick cuts, and CGI F/X. There's really no plot, just one scene after another. Sackhoff as the (literal) trailer trash sister adds nothing. Many scenes abruptly stop in with a cutaway that makes you think a commercial is coming. The ghosts are supposed to be runaway slaves (a term almost unused to be PC I guess) who were killed and stuffed by an evil 'Stationmaster', but this is more monster/slasher fare than a ghost story. The historical timing makes no sense, including a pre-Civil War Klan, reinforced by a cameo by Cicely Tyson who can't possibly be old enough to have any bearing on events from 1858.This is just a bad movie. Don't waste your time. Only redeeming feature is Abigail Spencer, who deserves better.
