Watched this based on feedback from this forum and I have to say I'm pretty torn:
On the one side, there is some incredibly awful writing, acting, and direction that you would expect from an Asylum B-grade horror film. I almost turned the movie off in the first 20 minutes.
But on the other side, there are some surprisingly good scares (some of the cheap, granted) and a lot of the haunting was well-done. I also really loved the ending.
I'm starting to really enjoy supernatural/haunted house movies so maybe I have a soft spot, but this movie was OK. I guess the fact that there were some merits makes it harder to swallow what was just plain awful about it.
2.5/5.

yeah totally agree with the starting of it,was like "oh no, another film trying hard to be a 80s b movie but modern :rolleyes:"then it suprised me how good it turned out.

keep watching, it gets ickier :D
