I saw the trailer before my bloody valentine last night. This was the first time I had heard of this movie. It seems very good, any thoughts?

[BooBerry]

Looked okay. Will probably wait for DVD though.

The house that the real haunting happened in wasn't far from where I grew up...they changed A LOT of what happened for the movie. I'll see it just because I get to go for free, but definitely don't have too high of hopes for it. The Discovery channel episode of "A Haunting" that this was based on is a decent watch though.

[BooBerry]

I was wondering if there was any connection to that series of shows.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

I remember catching this story on the Discovery Channel show, A Haunting. It was an interesting story when I watched it. However, the movie doesn't look good IMO. Unless I hear otherwise, I will most likely skip this. :negative:

i, like most others above, caught the preview before my bloody valentine 3d friday, which i might add was a pretty killer modern horror flick, but anyway, i remember this was the first episode i had caught of "A Haunting" on discovery channel, i also think that it is still the best episode & story on the series. so i saw the trailer and i think the movie is going to be excellent, looks like a great screenplay, good actors, and a great"true?" plot. i cannot wait to see this one for sure, i am a huge ghost movie buff. if anyone has any knowledge of a book or anything i can read up on about this story, i would appreciate the recommendations,thanks

Best true ghost story in book form is called People In The Attic: The Haunting of Doretta Johnson. Very hard to find I remember, even online.

[smokey]

I think this looks good. I will be watching it.

[BooBerry]

TV spots haven't been too bad. I've always been let down with ghost movies though. I might give this a chance when it hits theaters.

[da Gay]

looks very typical haunted house movie.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

All I gotta say is PG13.

[Lemmywinks]

Going to pass until it hits dvd. Pg-13 ratings are usually a death sentence for these movies.

[UzumakiW]

Saw the tv spot. Looks interesting, however, I am smart enough now to know that commercials for movies these days always make a movie seem better than it really is.

[RustedChainsaw]

Man, when I saw the TV spot for this, I thought it was "Book of Blood" because of the bloody carvings in the guy's skin. :shakefist:

[Get Some]

rent at best

[glamorilla]

the pg 13 rating pretty much says its gonna suck.

[Galerian]

Looks kinda interesting. Prolly wait for a rental though.

[bedlam23]

All I gotta say is PG13.

There is the ocassional pg-13 gem. Very ocassional. The trailer looks good though for this one.

Name me a few, I gotta hear this.

[bedlam23]

I personally liked the grudge. I did like the uncut version better. And hey Jaws is rated PG and considered by many to be the most effective horror film of all time. I'm not saying that I'm a huge fan of PG-13. No in fact I am an admitted gorehound and love the red stuff.

[Wax Zombie]

I just saw it and it was a pretty good movie. I still think Amityville horror is bettter, but it's worth it.

7/10

[//Neon_Maniac//]

Movie was good, had some good scares, worth a watch

7/10

[koolmike]

Piece o' crap.

Waste o' Time & Money

Boring ghost story.

[levil666]

Thanks KM, I will be avoiding this gem...

I do not consider Jaws horror and back in the early 80's it wasn't in any of the horror sections at video rental stores. The movie would have gotten an R if it wasn't for Speilbergs name being attached, since it had blood and profane language. Then again Forced Vengence was originally rated PG and it had extreme violence, murder, nudity, and a violent forcible rape scene in it.

The Exorcist is widely considered the 'most effective' horror film of all time.

[koolmike]

I would agree about The Exorcist.

Just got back from seeing this. I was actually surprised. It wasn't as shitty as I thought it would be (had a free ticket for it). It wasn't great by any means, but worth a watch for fans of haunted house flicks.

[bloodletskeleton]

ehhh..it was alright

[Rated R. Johnson]

i want to see this movie but haven't had quite the chance, but isn't it a remake of some old movie way back when???iono but im definitely gonna' go see it...

[Romero/Carpenter Fan]

This was a pretty good movie. Not as scary as I thought..but it did have a few creepy moments. The cast was pretty good.

C+

[Abby2606]

I jumped so many times in this movie. I'm the type that doesn't usually do that.

[Jungle_Julia]

Watched it online late at night in the dark in my dinning room....I scared myself lol but the movie wasnt that bad. Def. have seen worse

[Judas]

I will most likely download it or rent the dvd, from what i have heard it really isn't worth buying

[theymostlycomeatnight83]

I thought it was decent, but nothing special. Had some good parts to it. I liked seeing Elias Koteas (Casey Jones in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies).

[smokey]

I wanted to go and see this one. I just did not get around to watching it.

[Judas]

I checked it last night, was decent i've seen better and i've seen alot worse. its a good rental
