“Itu0026#39;s rare to come across a horror movie that takes itself and its characters seriously. More often than not, it seems horror producers take it for granted that the plot consists of illogical supernatural things happening and people dying in gory yet cinematic ways. To this end, very little is done to give the story or the characters any heart.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie does just that. It has an innocent story of three ghostbusters investigating a haunted house. The characters are, not only NOT obnoxious but downright likable. I could watch 90 minutes of this even if nothing spooky happened because they managed to keep my attention and were thoroughly well fleshed out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s not very scary, but it gives you the delicious little glee of watching one of those u0026#39;spooky phenomenonu0026#39; movies. Wonu0026#39;t make you jump, but will make you wiggle your toes in your snuggie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe ending was kind of rushed. I would have liked to know more about the dead room and what transpired all those years ago to put the spooks in that situation. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall a very enjoyable watch.”
