Door banging!! But it wasn't hitting anything.
(Knock knock knock) "It's just me. You can come out now" said PC Plod in his plastic dressy up helmet.
"He'll be sorry when he realises I'm here".... "MICHAEL"! (Micheal runs up the stairs). "GET THE CAMERA!" (Micheal runs back down the stairs).... Bless that reporter.... (Pete) "step away from the door!" :-) "I can't put Margaret through anymore danger...I won't!" 'Please. Please!' "Oh bloody hell, alright!"....move the furniture to the other side of the room..... They spend all their money on red paint then somebody farts, lights a match and blows the door off!
And those pesky boots! I knew they'd be trouble!! They just filled up and it almost proved to much for Pete!!

You can tell right from the start it's a very low budget film, the acting isn't great and the script wasn't great - however if you want a horror film that's going to make you jump you'll definitely get a few from this, the ending was the worst part about this movie
Of course it's low budget !! Of course the acting isn't brilliant !! For *+*+* sake get a life !! It was an average production with average actors and an average budget.
Do you people wake up on a morning asking "what can I whinge about today ?" ?
It's a film to say "yeah I've seen it and didn't think much of it but do you know what ? I've seen worse".
Get over it losers.
OK, first the negatives - As others have said the acting is pretty awful at times (I realise it was a pretty inexperienced cast) - the female lead was ok but the male lead was very wooden and tried to enunciate every single word like he was on stage - bit of advice son, be the character and not just someone reciting a script - talk normally like a real person because it was all very forced - I like the 70s retro look but this sort of thing was done much better in When the Lights Went Out (2012) - a lot of the scenes seems to have been "borrowed" from other films like The Haunted and even Amityville so the whole thing never seemed original in the slightest.
I realise the budget was small and that probably led to the "that'll do" approach like we see in so many low budget films - it really could have done with some scenes getting a few more takes - you have to wonder if it was purely down to budget or a weak director failing to get the best out of the actors.
Now the good stuff - I liked the story - I also like the 70s feel with the decor and the props but the fashions weren't quite 1975 especially the black guy having his shirt untucked - that was very 90s - this could have been a solid 7/10 with better actors and bigger budget but just gets a 4/10 from me - I think over 50s would appreciate this more than a teen viewer purely for the 70s feel

Oh my goodness i have just wasted over £5 on watching this film. If we had heard that this was our 7 year old's first film we would be proud to watch but we thought this was a serious film. I would recommend everyone stay away from this film. Acting, story, set and effects were of the poorest quality.
