“While watching this, I was considering giving it 2 or 3 stars, if only for the slight rights-after-marriage subplot going on. But the ending destroyed all hopes for this nonsensical boring little film. Hereu0026#39;s why you shouldnu0026#39;t watch it:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e1) It treats the audience like idiots. This means it not only has some very awkward and u0026#39;well duhu0026#39; dialogue, but also abandons any subplots it picks up, resulting in huge disappointments. The ghost wants the husband dead? Abandoned. The husband resents the wife for not having a 9-5? Abandoned. OK how about the wife is a mature independent woman? Abandoned.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e2) The scares are stupid. Youu0026#39;ll find this out even before the opening credits. One scare consists of a knife disappearing from a sink, and then reappearing again. Thatu0026#39;s it. The u0026#39;ghostu0026#39; seems to have been adapted from Asian horror, has no backstory, and doesnu0026#39;t fit well in this film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e3) Everything else. Writing, directing, acting, score, cinematography, EVERYTHING is sub-par. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is NO reason to see this movie, NO interesting twist, NO bizarre monster, NOT even for shits and giggles. Donu0026#39;t encourage such bland productions.”
