Rating: D-Because a rating of F is reserved for the true dregs of the barrel, I chose a D-. As much as I tried and tried to think of something, anything that could redeem this movie for me, I couldn't find it. Terrible on so many levels. Is there a good movie in the Ghost House Underground lineup?
Yeah, this movie sucked, which is a real shame because I liked the initial set-up and character development.
ReplyDeleteDance of the Dead is the only all around great film I've seen from Ghost House.
Wow, this is the first negative I saw for this.
ReplyDeleteGGG - I've added that to the queue. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBecky - I know! That's what prompted me to check it out. (I'd love to see a CAPS review for this one, by the way.)
This was #13 on my top 20 list of 2009.
ReplyDeleteIt's above average for a killer kid movie...what did you think of Orphan?
Jaded - Waiting, waiting, waiting on Netflix to ship it! Hopefully it delves a little deeper than Joshua, though that one had its moments.
ReplyDeleteChris..I almost bought this the other day. I am glad I didn't and saw your rating!! I will pass on this one for sure!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteZombie - I suggest renting it first. Or borrowing it if possible. In any case, thanks for thinking so highly of my opinion!
ReplyDeleteAgreed Chris - this was utter turd
ReplyDeleteSaying that I thought Orphan was rubbish too. The ending was absurd.
ReplyDeleteChallis - I'm still waiting on Netflix to ship Orphan and seriously considering just picking it up from the Redbox for $1. Orphan is another that I've been seeing a wide range of reviews on, so it'll be interesting to see how it stacks up. This movie, The Children, though...yeah...you said it best...
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I liked Orphan a good deal. And it doesn't hurt that Skaarsgard is in it (half naked in a couple of scenes, surprisingly). Seriously though, naked Skaarsgard aside, I thought Orphan was a good time.
ReplyDeleteI'm finally going to watch Orphan next week with someone who managed to get it shipped to them! Ended up removing it from my Netflix queue--I don't want to miss this Tuesday's releases:Zombieland and The House of the Devil!
