This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Weary of slasher movies, gore just for the sake of gore, and bored with whizzo CGI effects just for the sake of whizzo CGI effects, I wanted to settle back to a simple, straight forward Ghost Story. One with a solid story line which, more or less, was neatly tethered to some level of reality and played out by reasonably decent actors.In spite of rather low ratings and a couple of mindless reviews, I decided to watch this movie. I stumbled onto an excellent choice! The script is well conceived, logical and moves along smoothly without needless twists and turns. The story, although not altogether original, is captivating and the acting... well, this gem is blessed with exceptionally good acting - not forced, in your face, nor over the top. The actors render natural and consistent portrayals. The film is suspenseful with plenty of scary moments. The music score alone is sufficient to keep you on edge while inflicting huge goose bumps. The cinematography is excellent overall. Ahh, 'tis a wonderful thing to indulge in a well made spooky movie! A must see for serious spook fans.

I love horror and want it to scare me. This movie did a good job of building suspense, making you wait for it, and though you knew it was coming the make-you-jump moments were very good. The acting was good, I loved the setting, and the lighting and camera work were excellent. This is a ghost story of course (per the title), which is refreshing. While I love horror I am deathly sick of the gross-out blood & guts films or the ones based on the devil taking possession of someone. I read reviews after watching it and was surprised it was only a 4.3 on IMDb. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have a good scare and not take things too seriously.

This one has heart! I was turned off at first with the cheesy made-for-TV feel, but the longer I sat, the better it got. If you can look a little past the lower budget acting, and sometimes cheesy writing, the premise will almost certainly grab you.The fact that the paranormal occurrences were mellow made it much more realistic....and the occurrences with the sheets are the types that'll leave you laying in your bed in the middle of the night with your eyes wide open over-thinking.Def worth a view!

I really did not expect much out of this film, as I found Paranormal Activity boring and contrived. I was pleasantly surprised. The acting was very good. I never found myself rolling my eyes at the acting. I really felt the tension and genuine reactions. I expected pretty typical horror genre devises, but I am happy to say that the writers left me guessing. When I would guess that one thing would happen it would be something completely different and I found myself jumping, pretty often. Enjoyed the ending. Upon watching the extras and discovering that this was done with so few people and resources, I was even more impressed. Definitely worth the watch.
