I can't say it was the best film, but it was decent. I don't understand why the sex scenes were in it, nor why the director seemed fixated on the boyfriends butt. The movie isn't anything like The Shining in my opinion. It's also very strange at times and seems the director didn't have enough time or funding to make it the way intended. There are lots of irrelevant things going on in the film as well. I have no clue what the deal was with the weird lady that is describing a portal and the pain the house is in. Has potential to be much better, but if you have nothing better to do it's a decent watch. I would not say it's one for the collection though.

Not Bad
What?
All over the place. Didn't hold my attention at all. And the stupid balloons ?
Intriguing, too long and amateurish
I was glued to the screen and wanted to watch it till the end. However, the movie is too long, the lead acting was a tad too cartoonish . Tim and Adam were by far the best characters in terms of acting.
I don't for the life of me, understand the relevance of the creepy old woman and bleeding soldier characters. Especially the older woman. Also, WHO is haunting the house? The son, the tree or the soldier??
Furthermore, the photography was too straightforward. There was a real dearth of photography angles and appropriate lighting. The music was largely irrelevant to understanding the movie. Of course the music is nice because it is Mozart but it does not being any significant clue or mystery to the movie. The movie would have been the same with or without the music.
Bottom line, a lot of scènes are absolutely unnecessary and this movie has no right to be 1h50min long.
