In the world of terrible horror movies, this wasn't NEARLY as bad as expected. The plot could have been a little less muddy but I sat through "Rubber" (about a killer tire... literally) so I can't complain about this. The general premise of the 'haunt' could have been better executed but there was enough to keep me interested.

The first hour plays out as Fincher's THE GAME but directed by Rob Zombie: dumb, loud, and obnoxious. But when the cards are turned over in the last 30 minutes, the film really starts swinging for the fences. So, if you can stand the endless screaming and interminable flashbacks of the first hour, you'll probably be satisfied when it's over.

I will not spoil this because it honestly isn't worth it. I usually write reviews on movies that I believe are either really good or really bad. This was the latter. This movie was pretty solid from the beginning with decent acting; however, midway through the movie it became a train wreck. It leads you to believe one thing is going to happen, but it completely switches up. I know you're thinking that "that's a plot twist", which it is, but it added nothing to the story. The movie is filled with a ton of flashbacks that serve purpose to the movie, but are unexploited to the point where they were only useful for the next five minutes of the movie. I had to actually change my star count after writing this review because just trying to find something good to say about this movie is hard. Still worth it to give a watch because everyone has a difference in opinion and my opinion means very little.
