Empty Rooms

The plot/story is of the typical haunted house movie. Which isn't bad, but nothing that original. The acting was believable to me, unlike other low budget films. Although it was a little slow, it wasn't The Village slow. What stand out as exceptional, is that although the budget was $47.36, whoever put this together did an outstanding job at the creepiness and complete lack of stupid dialogue which usually prevents me from enduring a low budget film. I was very satisfied with the ending as well. To me, a 5 rating means that it's nothing to get excited about, but definitely a decent movie.

This was one of those real slow burner horrors that has a single mother moving into a new house with her autistic son. Things get bad for them when a chubby naked man and a toothless woman turn out to be the house ghosts. The ghosts are creepy as hell because they are physically there tossing people around and then just disappear. The family gets torn apart as people don't believe she's being haunted but instead abusing her son.

They did this one well with the gradual build up and then it just starts freaking you out. When you see those redneck ghosts the hair will stand up on the back of your neck. Not a huge budget film but I liked it better than those Paranormal Whacktivities. Check it out.

I really enjoyed this film.

Refreshing to see a low budget horror flick with some thought and heart put into it.

Amazing to me see movie after movie made with 1000 times the resources these guys had that don't demonstrate any feel for telling a story.

The acting performances are right on, the writing is superb, and the look and feel of the movie is cohesive and chilling. It is obvious from the start that they knew what story they want to tell and do so without apology.

The sometimes frustrating while simultaneously loving relationship that a single mother has with her special needs child is unexpectedly heady fare for this genre. Ramlah Yavar and Adam Llamas deserve serious kudos for bringing this to this movie and making it so accessible.

Tegan Ashton Cohan is also adorable as the "new age auntie". It would have been so easy to make this character a caricature, but Ms. Cohan manages to make her lovable and real while also bringing a lot of weight and power when needed. This girl means it when she tells somebody they have to do so something and we the audience can not help but agree; an impressive accomplishment considering we also get see her dancing around like a drunken yogi while burning sage in an attempted 'energy cleanse'.

Really hope to see more from these guys. Great work!

This is a horror movie that is not scary. It has an awful story line. It has an awful ending. Do not see this movie. See The Amityville horror. See Amityville II. Do not see this movie. It is awful.

Don't misunderstand me ... I wasn't particularly impressed by the direction before the end ... And the characters were somewhat annoying ... The film is fairly mediocre modern horror ... All set in a middle class world ... No visual style ... Obviously grew up in front of the television ... The main actress does OK ... The child is fine cos he doesn't have anything to say ... The sister is hugely annoying ... But nothing is really wrong ... Just same old same old ... Until the end ... Then the next end ... And basically it completely goes into this silly badly done mess which it attempts to get out of by using clichés ... Its awful and looses the director any respect that he had for at least trying
