IF this movie would of been made around the 80s, I would consider it a average movie you can watch if you are bored on a Sunday afternoon. The Storyline is just so dull, man kills girl, girl ghost haunts man, man dies at end. Effects are sometimes a little funny.. Actor are average tending to bad acting Biggest problem I had with this movie, the murderer cant make him self more suspect even if he tried really hard.

I actually enjoyed this film. I was a little put off from the 4.5 rating, but I thought the trailer looked interesting so gave it a go. It was a very strange cast, some good veteran actors and some very poor new actors which made it a little confusing sometimes. The ghosts are good, some good jump scares, even a few moments I had a few chills down my spine, but then every now and then a rubbish cgi moment. So it's best not to take this film too seriously and to just enjoy it for its entertainment purpose.

I didn't watch because of particular actors being billed so that wasn't a turn off for me like it was for others. It was a lot better than the typical 3/4 star horror movies I watch on Amazon. I agree with those who consider it more of a ghost/supernatural flick rather than a horror. I think since the ghosts were after the bad guy it didn't seem scary, although it did have some freaky scenes toward the end. It did have a bit of a slow start, but after the first murder it kept me engaged throughout. It also had me emotionally vested in the movie as I just kept getting angrier that the D-bag antagonist just kept getting away with more and more stuff. It really had me hoping he would get what was coming to him. It really got to the point where I was thinking that simply getting killed wouldn't be enough punishment for him, and I must admit I wasn't disappointed with how it all caught up with him...very satisfying. If you're like me and are constantly scouring Amazon and Netflix for a nightly horror flick I would definitely recommend this one. It's by far the best I've seen this week (turning off Mr. Cleaver as I type, this seems awful).

This was actually a pretty good movie. Not gory or any kind, but more chiller "I'll haunt you 'til you admit" type thing. A lot of nice twist and turns and it tells you who the killer is straight up, but it doesn't stray from the movie.

When I saw the trailer, I was excited but mad that I had to wait a whole year for us just to rent the movie. I was happy when I rented it, sat down immediately and watched it. There were some things that I didn't know would be in the movie but I blindly went in without reading the book so...yeah. You can tell that there are some people who just started out acting because it shows. All I'm gonna say is that it is kind of boring and bland at the beginning but as the movie progresses, it becomes more interesting and pretty good. The characters do talk low to the point where you need to turn up the volume a lot in order to hear but when the intense scenes come in, it explodes in your eardrums so....just wanted to warn you. I do, however, find it as a good movie. It was kind of worth the year of waiting. I actually watched it twice and hoped that it would later be released on DVD so I can watch it whenever I please. It was bland at first but it gets juicy later on.

The movie poster is nice and inspires much higher expectations... but the story eventually meanders into a travesty of a climax and finale... It packs no mystery or intelligent story lines. The viewers are bombarded with a beaten-track B level movie-making and a story that could've worked but never did. It's got a childish plot and bad acting that's not worth the time spent on it. The characters and the ridiculous looking monsters do not develop and stay as static as the first time you meet them... they're just there to fill the screen. I gave the 3 points to the cinematographer and the set manager.

Its been a while since I saw a film where every single minute is interesting. This is one of those rare finds. The film is wonderfully mysterious and became more and more interesting with every scene delivering more twists. There was literally never a single dull moment. The acting was great and the effects were awesome. The film has some great scares, and also great scares thanks to clever editing. 'Cold Moon' was fantastic!

The writer wrote Beetlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmas? He also wrote "Halloween Candy," probably one of the creepiest Tales of the Darkside--and certainly my favorite. Maybe he didn't fail here. Maybe it was the director. In any case, the accents for Northwest Florida are all wrong. Why does Hollywood insist on making all Southerners sound like Antebellum Georgians? This could have been a good film, if it had been a comedy. Instead, it's a mish-mosh of really good CGI and really bad acting and dialogue. The characters are, for the most part, two-dimensional comic book people. Smartass rich Southern gentleman, bumbling bought-out small town sheriff, ditzy high school cheerleader (played by a woman far older than 16 or 17), and a grandmother who is no more from the Pensacola area of NW FLA than she is from New Jersey. And the men's haircuts for 1989, when the film is set: all wrong. In that part of the country in that year the men still wore their hair parted down the middle and feathered back on the sides. And if they were a lot older, they might have had WW II military haircuts, that is if they could find barbers in the 80s who still knew how to cut that style (I was a barber in Pensacola just two years before that.) The kid that assists in the crimes would have either had really long hair pulled back in a ponytail (the trend in '89) or the previously described 1970s cut. Anyway, this movie is a disaster overall, so don't waste your time.

I am giving it a 4 rating because i really don't know what the hell was going on or what that movie wanted to be. When you have scary movies like Annabelle creation and the Conjuring that scare the bejesus out of you. I understand it was made by the people who made beetle juice, which is more dark comedy then horror, etc. First off what was the Sheriff daughter doing living with that family instead of him and is wife? lots of weird stuff. The story as been done a zillion times but why did those spirits come back from the dead to take revenge? was that place a special place? haunted? In part this movie makes no sense at all, the special effects where very good but the rest was confusing. The acting was very good too.

Tommy Wiseau is in there for like 10 seconds. And what about Christopher Lloyd? I'm gonna guess ≅ 6/7 minutes. Oh, and the movie is bad in every way: the effects, the acting is mostly awful (with a few exceptions), the story is really simple and boring. Don't watch this one.
