WORST WORST WORST so called 'horror' movie I have ever watched. Should have checked the rating before watching it. I wonder how did the director come out with the story line but the acting was just pure stupid. (Not like the acting sucks but the character that they had to act)I'm just here warning everyone not to watch this horrendous movie. Seriously it's just waste of your time.

The film opens up in 1891 Azusa, California with a seance gone bad. We never really got to find out what the real issues were or if the girl they were looking for was killed by her father, or what demon or ghost has entered the picture. We move to modern times and a new family moves into the house and find a chest in the attic...well you know the rest.On the plus side the characters were slightly better developed than a lot of the recent offerings. Victoria (Lisa Brenner) had that creepy Wednesday Addams high forehead look going for her, which worked quite well. However the story line wasn't developed. The connection of the ghost/possession was made simply through the items in the chest used at the failed seance...and? They could have made a better connection to the neighbor and Realtor. And what was with the moody teen daughter? Was she forbidden from dating? Why the sneaking around? Special effects include eye make-up and doors closing by themselves.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity...just tease.

I also created an account just to warn people away from this movie. A complete waste of time. Filled with clichés, poor script writing, and the plot line plateaued after the first ten minutes. I kept waiting for that redeeming moment when you realize why someone paid so much money to produce a movie like this, but it never came. I would have been more entertained watching a movie created by children.

A family moves house after the death of the mother, only to find themselves trapped by the history of their new home as an evil spirit takes over ...Standard haunted house tale, so it needs a bit of spice and cleverness to impress. The outstanding feature is the photography, with plenty of angles and movement and depth and detail. But they might regret the decision to light almost the entire movie brightly - shadows often obscure a horror tale, but this one needed more.The acting was OK, especially the little girl, although even she struggled with some lifeless dialogue. And I think that's where the problem is - the writing and direction. The origin story didn't play through, and we weren't led to the source of the evil. Some crucial scenes were handled badly and turned out underwhelming. Plus there were some spots where dialogue was repeated to no extra effect, and one of the female characters could have been folded into another without harming the story.The music was pretty good, but laid on too thick.So it's a first time feature for the director/writer. A bit sloppy, and lacking conviction. But it definitely doesn't deserve one star ratings.ps. The cinematographer has a similar movie in production, so that could be interesting.
