Life is too short; precious moments and all that. Why throw away 90 minutes you'll never get back? It occurred to me while watching this update on watching paint dry that if movies had IQ's, this one's would be very low. Summation: Painfully slow and pointless; useful only as an exercise in how not to make a movie. The only reason it got one star was because zero wasn't offered as an option.If you have to decide between watching this film or staring at a wall for 96 minutes, take the wall. You'll have put your time to better use.

Almost a good horror movie.... Had elements of Sixth Sense, The Ring, The Gift, and Stir of Echoes (in fact, that's probably how the film was pitched to get it made). Problem was I saw all of those and they were all way better. It was decent though, and with the above being said, we kept watching. I did like the interaction of the ghosts with the main character. I also thought the acting was pretty good all around. Then came the last half hour. I came to a point where I wanted to turn it off, but I had already invested my time and wanted to see how it ended. With out giving anything away...I should've gone to bed. It's like the screenplay guy couldn't figure out how to end the movie and someone else came up with an idea to just get it over with. There seemed to be some great avenues to explore and they either didn't know how or wanted to try to be "clever". It did inspire me to post my first review on IMDb though...

"A Haunting at Silver Falls" failed to deliver on so many levels. And for a ghost movie it was anything but scary and below mediocrity.There were absolutely no scare moments in the movie, and there wasn't anything scary or even remotely horror to this. And suffering from a poor storyline and a failure to scare, concentrating on the movie started to become a struggle, and it was hard not to pick up my phone and start doing something else.The story is about Jordan (played by Alix Elizabeth Gitter) who comes to a small town, where she finds a ring somewhere in the forest, and of course she puts it on. The ring is linked to the dark past of an event that took place in the town, and Jordan starts to see the apparition of a dead girl, while coming closer and closer to the truth.I will say that the story did have some parts that could have been great, but ultimately failed to do so. I think it was because the movie was predictable and because of the complete lack of scares, that the movie failed to entertain me.As for the actors and actresses in the movie, well I will say that they actually did good jobs with the roles they were given. But they were fighting an uphill battle against a predictable storyline and a very mediocre chain of events throughout the entire movie.If you are looking for a good ghost movie to make the small hairs on the back of your neck stand up, you had better look elsewhere, because this movie will fail to do the trick.And to top it off, the movie starts out with "inspired by true events". Right, well at least the dead twin apparitions was not the source of inspiration. On the plus side, then the movie at least wasn't one of those God awful "found footage" type of movies.

It isn't a horror that'll scare you witless, there aren't any jump scares or scenes of bloody violence. It's quite a simple ghost seeking vengeance plot. Slightly creepy, but nothing you'll lose sleep over. If anything you understand the ghost(s) isn't going to hurt the protagonist and just wants her to know something, and it's all about finding out what that something is, so there's little threat involved.I enjoyed it though! I found myself wanting to see the end and it wasn't a bad story overall.Worth a shot if you're into stories and can live without brilliant cinematography and things that'll come crawling out of your closet when you try to get to sleep afterwards. It did make me wonder what would have happened if she'd gone to Silver Falls with Robbie at the end to see what he had to show her. Maybe it was just a lame come on like she thought, though...
