“A girl and her boyfriend moves into a largish house she inherited. Joining her is a girl friend and her soon to be ex-boyfriend. Alexis starts hearing and seeing things in the house, but unfortunately only she does. Which makes her look like she has psychotic episodes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnfortunately her u0026quot;friendsu0026quot; including the broken boyfriend consider her crazy, and u0026quot;losing itu0026quot; but rather than contact a psychiatrist they just leave her to her deamons. And here the scripts starts to fail. Alexis dad, locked up in the funny farm, escapes and goes off to find his daughter. Headless chicken reactions ensue, when the script says u0026quot;run around and scream u0026#39;what do I dou0026#39; without doing anythingu0026quot;, try to do CPR on an obvious very dead person, hide in a house when they are supposed to leave. And so on. It also seems the script writer(s) has some problems in deciding what they were going for, a psychological horror movie or something else.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd as for acting, it is sometimes subpar, sometimes acceptable. Direction is the same. Creepy music isnu0026#39;t. Sound effect over-utilise creaking doors and floors. And the whole thing is very slow for the first 1 hour 20 minutes to expload in the last 10 and reveal the plot twist, which unfortunately isnu0026#39;t new either and has been done better.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, well, itu0026#39;s not the worst film Iu0026#39;ve seen by a long shot – but still, itu0026#39;s not good. There must be better horror films out there.”
