Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

That damn generator! lolWhen I saw the low rating for this film I of course thought it probably wasn't any good, but I read through the good reviews and with that I had a glimmer of hope. I wasn't expecting a great horror film. I went into it trying my best not to have any expectations which helped. While I feel that there is a lot lacking (they probably had a small budget to work with) I was still entertained and even a little scared. I am partial to the paranormal and more specifically ghost stories so this was up my alley.There are certain things that happened that did look quite fake and somehow just didn't have the impact it should have. Again, it was probably due to a low budget, but all in all I enjoyed this movie. It's not a favorite and not the best I've ever seen, but I do recommend it. It's worth a watch especially if you have Netflix. We all know the choices on Netflix aren't always the best.

I don't normally rate movies this low in general because I can usually find at least one positive thing about it. This one not so much. It just..well.. simply sucks. If you read the IMDb plot description of this movie it says, "When a terrified family flees a desolate southern New Zealand farmhouse, two cynical scientists and a young psychic are sent to investigate their claims of a haunting." I'm glad it says that because the movie kind of just starts as the team is at the house. Without having read the description, no one would have even had a clue that there was even a terrified family in the first place that fled. Much less that they had even sent a team to investigate. It just starts as them unloading the car at the place with not much of a reason about how they got there in the first place. The first 45 minutes is just wasted time. Nothing really going on, nothing happening. It was very boring to even sit and pay attention to and I had to fight the urge to turn it off by playing solitaire. You would expect to at least like one character in hopes that they could at least have some good dialogue going on at the beginning, but the actors are so poor that they bring nothing to this horrid film. The girl is OK, but the men are so bad that it makes you cringe to hear them speak.

Started out great but 1/2 hour in I got quickly bored. A few scary scenes. That ghost hunter girl looked like she was reading off cue cards. The rest of the cast were good though, especially the older ghost hunter. This is just another ghost/paranormal activity theme, been done to death. Clichéd ending.

The movie starts with the most beautiful and surreal NZ scenery, in fact even the remainder of the film length inside the house I still found the picture quality, colors and crispness were just gorgeous to watch. Compared to the current bad quality horror flicks coming out lately this is definitely one of the better ones.I thought it held some good suspense and story unraveling. It had an old fashioned horror movie feel to it, no bells or whistles, just the focus on the house and the people. Most of the action is within the claustrophobic confines of the house, especially the hallway, and I liked that. It didn't spook me out watching it alone and it was a bit slow initially, but heck I stayed up until 3.00 am watching it so it definitely piqued my interest.Now the bad - the acting especially the female lead failed. She's OK as the brooding young emotionless psychic but whenever she's expected to show fear, agitation or emotion it falls flat; very amateurish. The best acting was the older guy Scott but really none of the trio gelled together. She seemed far too young for the role; an older more experienced psychic would have been more believable (and prob a better range of acting skills)she just seemed like a brooding emo teenager, I kept thinking what the heck was she doing there with a couple of old geezers.Now the really bad...the ending...I'm not going to give anything away but I was disappointed that a new horror movie which seemed so refreshingly different just ends up the with the same old same old clichés as the others. Please guys, think of different endings, keep us guessing.
