The Occupants (2014)

The Occupants: Directed by Todd Alcott. With Kristen Ariza, Ashanti Brown, Macey Cruthird, Marypat Farrell. Lucy has a new husband, a new home and a new baby, but old ghosts won’t let her be. She tries to help the tortured souls break free of their torment and move on, but soon finds these ghosts don’t want her help.

“What do you tell a young mother who sees ghosts in her house, that she is perhaps under stress, dreaming, confabulating? What happens when her husband sees them too? Lucy works as a counsellor, and while her other half wants them to vacate what is obviously their dream home complete with security fence, she believes the night visitors are not regular apparitions, as in dead people, but a living family that is in desperate need of terrestrial assistance. She confides in a colleague – and former lover – who thinks she is gaga, and refuses to give her any practical help, although he does suggest she seeks help of the psychiatric kind.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAfter her decision to stay put, things get worse, a lot worse. Was it really such a good idea to bring in a psychic? Unfortunately, this initially promising film soon loses its way. Lucy may indeed have gone gaga by the end, but this is so confusing you donu0026#39;t really know what she has done, what has happened, what is real, what is not, who is the bad guy, and if he is really a demon. Donu0026#39;t waste your time on this one.”
