A young couple has to deal with an entity in a poltergeist form. There is some catholic overtones of course.
If your looking for a movie to debunk as far as paranormal investigations go.....this isn't for you. I thought it had a good scare factor for such a low budget. Acting and plot was good enough to get the point across. Lets just say it's a Hollywood movie without the Hollywood budget. I thought this movie was so much better than "Blair Witch"......by far!!; ▶ Reply to This

I struggle with scary movies anyhow - just not a fan of fear, etc. But, I think I am going to see this one even though it is hyped and likely not even close to real. I want to understand what makes the dang thing so scary to people. Is it the cinematography? Effects? What???; ▶ Reply to This

Sometimes what they show in the trailer is not even in the movie at all...it's the stuff they cut out.

I haven't had the chance to see the movie yet, as I have to drive all the way to Bakersfield to see it. And with this outbreak of swine flu and regular flu...I'm not too hip on getting physically sick at the moment. If I go...I'm wearing one of my surgical masks.

Or I can do the smart thing and just wait for it to come out on dvd and buy it. I'm still waiting for the movie "The Skeptic" to come out on dvd and it doesn't look like it's going to be any time soon.; ▶ Reply to This

It seems funny you think I was offend, why would you have thought that, I just thought is was odd that you stated it as you did.; ▶ Reply to This
