Watchable low budget movie, as long as you don't expect too much and with an ending is far too predictable!

I watched the movie with a group of friends and we all agreed that it was hard to watch. We weren't a fan of the acting and suspenseful music. The main character acted as if he was reading a book. There is random cursing that wasn't needed. The music seemed to be taken from old horror movies. You'll find yourself questioning why the characters did certain things.

The first half of the movie needs improvement. The twist that happens near the end of the movie helped it but by then we weren't happy with it. I think if the script was tweaked more then it would have been better. Overall I wouldn't recommend it.

Tom (Will Hurst) has a great life with a great girl friend (Karin Lee) with red bras and wonderful cleavage, not Maria Bartiromo wonderful, but still wonderful. He discovers his estranged mother has committed suicide and he has a catatonic schizophrenic sister, Chloe (Grainne McDermott) who is really just plain catatonic. Rather than just leave her in professional care, he decides to take her back to mom's home and record things for his thesis, whatever that was. The home is in the shadow or area of Mt. Shasta and we hear an Indian legend about evil spirits living in the shadows of the mountains. The stage is set. Mom supposedly killed herself because she was off of her meds. Tom has a bottle demon which he rediscovers while taking care of Chloe. His girlfriend eventually enters the picture.

The film creates the necessary background for a horror thriller. And like nearly every film of this type, things change gears at about 30 minutes into the feature, and goes over-the-top at about an hour. The production gives you ambiguous closure in case they have funding for a sequel.

The nuts and bolts of the film were pretty good and a fair creep factor. We don't know if Tom is crazy, or Chloe is faking. Seasoned viewers might be a little more critical of the formula scenes and dry-humping that passed for a sex. I also thought the facial spit was out of character. All in all it was a watchable rental.
