A Disappointing Continuation

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. At first I thought it had to be a student production of some kind, or a horror-comedy, supposed to be a parody. But it was not supposed to be either. It was supposed to be a "real" horror movie on the haunted house theme, and I find it incredible that professional movie-makers can make such a flop of this theme NOW, in the 2010:s??! This would have been a bad and clumsy horror movie already in the 1930:s.I do not even know where to start. EVERYTHING was amateurish: the script, the acting, the directing, the special effects... There were no dramaturgy at all. Even the real people who were not supposed to be ghosts, looked, talked and moved like zombies. ALL of them looked out of place. The ghosts, on the other hand, did not look like ghosts but like real people, there was nothing other-wordly about them at all, and they were totally un-scary. The horror music did not scare either, because it was too loud, blatant and obvious. Total flop, there is nothing redeeming here at all.

I saw this movie at the HORRORFIND 2012 festival last weekend in Gettysburg, PA. I went out the next morning and purchased a copy from the filmmakers who happened to be there. The Director Michael Merino signed it for me and it turns out he also won for BEST DIRECTOR of the festival! How cool is that? The lead actress Tracy Teague won for BEST ACTRESS as well, so two awards for a great movie.What makes this movie so good is that has an actual story and plot. WOW how sad is it when that's considered a rare thing. This movie asks that you think and go along on a journey, a really creepy and at times funny one.I strongly suggest you see this film if you like movies along the lines of THE WOMAN in BLACK, THE OTHERS and even THE SHINING. In time (once this film finds its footing) it'll be a classic INDIE scary movie. I'm giving it 8 stars for a great film and 1 more because the Director was such a nice guy! Keep up the great work guys.

The Haunting of Pearson Place is one of those movies that makes you remember why we go to the movie theater. This movie was scary, funny and so much fun that I didn't want it to end.The cast was awesome, Regen Wilson just chews up the scenery and you can't take your eyes off Julie Price...they both have "Star" written all over them. Ken Arnold and Tracy Teague were strong and so real that I felt like I knew these people...and I think I just might have a few friends that are them. And Mick MacGuire was so the creeper that he made me feel uneasy from the minute he walked on scene.The ever wonderful and sinfully under-rated Joe Estevez (Yes, Charlie Sheens Uncle) was awesome as Bob the care-taker. He really drew me in. A real creep show that guy. And last but far from least, Scream Queen Suzi Lorraine was the topping to an already well iced cake...she was great as always.One thing that really comes across is the beauty of the film. For a Horror film its just so well shot, and it almost feels as if you're in a painting. The story and direction were great, Michael Merino is a solid writer and crafted director. I look forward to seeing what he comes up with next.This movie is Rock n Roll and scary to the soul....9 Devils Horns up! "The Happy-Devil"

I was fortunate to be at a private viewing in a wonderful theater for the feature film, The Haunting of Pearson Place last evening. And I for one, am a huge fan of this movie. Wow, well done to all the cast and crew.It's Crisp, Raw and Freaky. And I loved it! I read a few of the positive reviews on the page and agree with them all. I also read the "critic review" and I must say that "critic" is so far off base that I question his or her's pedigree. The Haunting of Pearson Place is a linear story that is well acted, directed and wonderfully shot. Frankly, if most "horror" films (This one is classified as a Supernatural thriller/Horror, with comedic elements) were like Pearson Place I would watch more of them. A lot more of them.As a fan of "Arthouse" films, I wasn't expecting much from the film when I was invited along by a friend, and to my surprise I was treated to a well crafted film. Kudos to all.
