Lack of good storyline.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
View MoreWith a budget of 3 million you expect a certain level of competence, alas no such thing can be found here.Originally titled Remorse this is another one of those horrors which leaves the viewer pondering whether what they are witnessing is supernatural or purely mental illness.Truth be told I didn't ponder too hard as I simply didn't care.This unforgivably dull, boring, lifeless horror effort has been done before so many times but rarely this poorly.Un-engaging, weakly made and an all round bore.The Good: Katrina LawThe Bad:Relies too much on jump scaresRecycledDreadful plotThings I Learnt From This Movie:The ambigous mental illness horror films are getting really old
View MoreIt's what I fear most about a horror movie I've never heard about. The studio is one I've never heard of...and I watch a LOT of B horror movies. The actors names are not any that I recognize. Still, I'm open to a surprise or two. I have to say, the acting is good. However, having said that, there is such a thing about TOO many dream scenes. I can stand one or two...but when there's too many...it seems like I can't tell what's real or not. ANNOYING. Also...not too many jumps in this movie. It's a good flick, keeps you interested, but really not something that I'll watch again. $1.60 goes to Redbox for bad movie night with my beautiful wife.
View MoreTortured over the death of his fiancée, a troubled man moves into a lonely farmhouse they were intending to move into together and immediately becomes tormented by her ghost as he tries to move on with the help of a neighbor to solve the mystery.This one certainly had some fine moments to it when it really tried. What really helps this one is the rather strong sense of suspense that runs throughout here which is mostly featured through the interactions within the house. Brought along nicely by the tragedy that sets the whole thing in motion, the effect of being there with the continuous amounts of shock jumps in here with the visions of his fiancée tormenting and torturing his new attempted romance. While mostly being relegated to brief spurts that turn out to be dreams when they do occur, the scenes of the ghost girl walking around the house performing chores and getting trapped around in the various rooms here definitely make for a rather intriguing time here with the way they start the film going about the different intentions of getting back together with him. Even later scenes of them around the house tormenting him have a rather nice time here, while the finale is where this one really picks up with the notion of finally letting the grief of the situation manifested in her ghost terrorizing him in long, drawn-out scenes that take nice effect of the strong storyline and great atmosphere to end this on a nice note. Still, there's plenty of areas here that definitely hold this one back quite heavily. The biggest issue with this one is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of time actually spent on the haunting moments throughout the first half here are just so brief and quick that it can't really showcase them at all. The scenes are over in such a blink that it doesn't really register for much of the time that it was supposed to have been a terrifying experience he had when she quickly flashes around into an ugly ghost or throwing the different women ghosts as well which makes this all the more frustrating that hardly anything gets involved with these scenes. The utterly irritating ploy about them nearly always being a dream doesn't help them all that much either, and along with the bland pace and drama-like feel that runs throughout the majority of the time here which are even bigger crippling factors. As well with the inability to really tell what made the other ghosts appear or their influence on the story, these here all hold this one down.Rated Unrated/R: Violence and Language.
View MoreOn a dark and stormy night, attractive Katrina Law (as Lori) arrives at a farmhouse mansion. We learn she's going to live there and marry strange boyfriend Jody Quigley (as Doug). We know Mr. Quigley is strange due to how he sets up a scene to scare Ms. Law, before proposing to her. Also, nobody but a set designer would set-up as many candles in a room as does Mr. Quigley; and, his character is never mentioned as being a set designer. Well, Quigley's mansion is a "fixer-upper" and he is restoring the old house. There is s shutter in the front he never gets right. Of course, locals warn Quigley that his house has a dark past. Early in the running time, Quigley meets flirty jogger Lili Bordán (as Jamie) and changes her flat...This could best be described as a psychological thriller... Most of the action comes to rest on Quigley's "Doug" character. While we see a progression, there may be no otherworldly reason for his exaggerated reactions, other than good (or bad) old-fashioned guilt. At first, we assume the house is a "living" character, but perhaps the past tragedies are only a coincidence. At the conclusion, it's not real clear. It would have helped if there was some link between "Doug" and a more clearly defined house. Although having him inherit the estate from distant relatives is a cliché, it would complement and add some authority to the story. Director Quinn Saunders manages to engage with stark quietness surrounded by a few jolts, but the ending struggles to tie things up quickly and without satisfaction.*** Apparition/ Remorse (2015/05/05) Quinn Saunders ~ Jody Quigley, Katrina Law, Lili Bordán, Dave Droxler
