I cannot, in good faith, recommend this movie!. As others have noted, it is a boring amalgamation of thrown-together horror cliche's -- one after the dreadful other. The big name star in this movie is Jennifer Jason Leigh but don't get your hopes up because it seems as if she has phoned in her performance, and you can't blame her really as the script is atrocious. For example, the teen characters watch the original "The Amityville Horror" with James Brolin in the actual house from the movie -- ooohhh scary! And exceedingly corny. This meta-sandwich is cringeworthy and leaves a taste in your mouth that makes you want to slap somebody, but you don't because that is mean and you are not mean so instead you leave a scathing review on Google so that you may turn your anger into something positive by helping to spare others the agonizing torture that is this film. No wonder it's free to rent! I should note I watched the movie in its entirety because, admittedly, I am always a bit fascinated with horrible film making.

I really enjoyed this movie. I've seen some pretty bad horror movies in the last few years but was impressed with this one especially since it proves you don't need brutal guts & gore to make a disturbing horror film. It was spooky with just the right amount of scares and had atmosphere and there was no dumb humor or 1 liners to lighten the mood up or come off cheesy,. It was straight up believable and dialogue for the most part was natural. The acting by everyone was really good for this type of film especially Bella Thorne & Cameron Monaghan. I haven't seen Jennifer Jason Leigh in anything for awhile so was really looking forward to seeing her, i'm a big fan of a lot of her earlier films. The movie was short but well paced and the score was really well done. I read there were re-shoots and cuts to the original movie but it was spliced together well and i only noticed 1 spot of bad editing close to the end. I didn't mind the ending but wanna see the director's original ending before re-shoots and what scenes were cut out of the R-rated version. Unfortunately there's no deleted scenes, alternate ending or extended director's cut on the upcoming blu ray which sucks!

It was nice that it was a free movie, I just couldnt get thru it. If you want me to be honest...that red hair kid is from SHAMELESS, and I cant stand that show. The entire time I was thinking that red hair kid was dying from AIDS since he was skin and bones, and played a homosexual in Shameless thats all I had stuck in my head. I couldnt get into it. It also didnt help that the main female hero was a beeotch that you couldnt care about cuz she was so mean and evil to everyone accept her little sister. Yeah I just couldnt get into it. Turned it off half way through. Thanks but no thank you. Just being honest.
