I love Ghost stories if they make me jump, have a decent story, and bring that creepy factor into play. I went to see this with three friends and we all loved it. I have been waiting for so long for a film that can make me jump and squirm in my seat.
This film clobbers you right off the bat and continues to bring those moments that make you jump and squirm using visual effect but also letting you use your own imagination to scare you. Set in a creepy old farm house where the family supposedly ran off due to failing crops. The new family’s children soon discover there is much more to this house than just looking creepy.
The story centers around a teenage girl “Jess” played by Kristen Stewart and her baby brother “Ben” played by twins Evan & Theodore Turner. Both of whom are haunted by spirits in the house. I found myself wanting to yell at the characters to do things and not do things as Jess tries to figure out what is happening & begging her family to leave to no avail. She turns to a local boy “Bobby” played by Dustin Milligan for help convincing him what she is seeing and feeling is real.
Jess’s parents of course are too wrapped up with their own issues to see that Jess is not just trying to get them to move back to Chicago or get attention due to mistakes she had made in the past they can’t let go of.
I don’t know about you but I love a scary film that draw you in enough to get you to try to help the characters and many members of the audience who were in the theater as well were yelling up to the screen coaching Jess through the film. I loved this film and want to see it again. The characters are believable, the acting is pretty good and the story holds your interest until the end. If you like ghost stories go see this film. I think it’s the best one I have seen in a very long time.
(He didn't give it a star rating, but the way he talks about it I assume it would be about 4 or 5 toes up!)
