Abbey Grace

The dog was the best actor in the movie, which probably explains why the first 20 minutes of the film was focused on the dog itself.... 2 stars just for effort but truthfully everything about this movie is just plain stupid and saturated in contrived pretension..

Have no idea what those one star guys were watching. It wasn't the best movie ever but it was a good haunted house movie that I could watch with my kids. The acting was mostly pretty good. Stacey and the dog were great, I liked the male lead, my wife not so much. Also really like the flashback Abbey Grace scenes.

The first five minutes of this almost seem as if an actual movie is starting. Unfortunately, such is not the case. The plot involves a vengeful ghost and a man who "can't" leave the house mostly out of fear of germs. Another reviewer mentioned "effects", but I don't see any here. Well, the layered voice of the possessed, maybe, as an audio effect, but irritating beyond words.

Watch closely in hilarity as the actors and even the dog slip and do missteps throughout. It has the feel of watching an elementary school play. There is not the slightest sense of suspense or horror at all, only unexpected giggles.

In fact, the "vicious" dog actually looks as if he was either thrown down the stairs from an unseen stagehand or, as suggested in another scene, the area was so slippery the dog bashed his head straight down into the floor while running and slipping before a brief recovery. They actually left this in.

Then there is the bizarre anticlimactic line regarding "so this is what you were up to while I was possessed". Such deadpan humor. Too bad the rest is not that quirky.

Still, just try to hold a straight face without bursting out in giggles every few minutes. I dare you.

Better yet, have a small drink every time Ben sanitizes his hands and you will be out cold before it is halfway over.

Just watched this film and it held my interest the whole way through. I really enjoyed the plot, and the pace was perfect!! Great special effects too, the highly trained vicious bedeviled and berserk dog Duke was a scary plus to the movie also. Ben one of the main characters played by Jacob Hobbs as an Agoraphobic with severe OCD seemed genuine in his acting. The other main character Stacey, Ben's suddenly possessed sister played by Debbie Sheridan brought nice realism to the strong character she portrayed.

Abbey Grace played by Maggie McNabb the central character and main protagonist of the movie, is the orphaned child who wants what was once hers returned to her, or else. Is Abbey a ghost, a demon, is she good, evil or vindictive, or all these? See for yourself you will not be disappointed !!

I love the movie. The acting is superb... All the actors & even the dog carried this movie....
