Boring watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend.

Despite a minor "ghost effect", there's very little that makes this more than a bunch of people going into hysterics and stabbing each other, or refusing to stab each other, or going on about refusing to stab each other before stabbing one another.

I wanted to like this, but there just isn't much to like here. The characters aren't very enjoyable, with a couple exceptions, so I'm happier to see them die than survive.

When it eventually gets to the final survival group, the resolution is like a slap in the face for making it that far in the movie.

Nine friends celebrate at a mansion in Scotland. After a little dinner and drinking and too much conversation, one friend stumbles upon a curse and one by one the guests are faced with the threat of death.

This film has so many problems with it, I don't know where to begin. First, the film "stars" Paris Hilton, even though she has the smallest role in the movie. I suspect her presence is the only reason the film was picked up at all, even though she serves no purpose and cannot act in this movie to save her life (she's worse in this than in "House of Wax").

When the Lions Gate logo came on, my friend and I thought we might be safe. Lions Gate makes some great films. Well, they make bad films, too, it seems. What possessed them to put their name on here, I don't know. With all due respect, I hope they lost money.

The first half of the film is a dinner scene with people sitting and talking about literally nothing. Nothing of interest, nothing related to the plot, nothing. A brief philosophical debate arises, but goes nowhere. As my friend says, this film was very innovative for a horror film: it might have been the first one that tried to kill the audience.

The death scenes are horrible. Basically, all deaths consist of a stabbing in the stomach: a magic stabbing! Shirts are never torn, but somehow a small blood stain appears and the victim becomes quite dead at a rapid pace.

None of the actors are worth caring about and the whole film is in shambles. Most annoying for me (besides the utter boredom) was the tendency to remind us we were in Scotland (the words "Scotland" or "Scotish" were repeated many times... for no reason. And there was a golf club).

This film is even too slow and pointless for "Mystery Science Theater 3000", so if there is a way to make something blink out of existence (like a memory hole), someone please make this your first target.

This picture is about nine old friends who are gathered in a Scottish Manor and everyone is happy to meet each other after so many years. Gals and guys join in and have plenty of booze and start renewing past experiences with each other.

Paris Hilton looked very happy in the role she played and I can understand why, she had a very small part and was the first person to disappear very early into the film.

The wind howling through this creepy old mansion and snow falling made this a very scary film until you find out the reason for all the murder and stabbing. The plot goes completely no where and I must say that most of the actors tried their very best, but the story stinks.

I think it was an okay movie. There wasn't enough blood for a slasher film though. If your in my case though the accents of the actor who played Pete was enough to keep you watching and the music was awesome.

It was suspenseful and had cute guys in it so that it self was enough for me. I live around enough Scottish men but none of them sound like that. It's the only thing I liked Paris Hillton ever. Not to offend any one but she makes me look very fat and very ugly. I think it was a good movie and you can tell me other wise.

Aside from the bad acting, horrible script, and super lacking storyline, you think someone in/during production would have made sure the kills were at least somewhat more believable. Shallow gut stabs will not kill. And as soon as blood is shown, character dies. It was interesting enough and that's why I gave a couple stars but would have been extremely upset had I paid to watch this movie.
