Not sure why this movie was made

There were a couple of creepy spots, but the movie as a whole was very questionable. The story, acting, delivery, script, stupid voice effects - all annoying and not to my liking. Also - why did the old man have to be without his clothes?

Loud noises do not equal scary

Weak cookie-cutter horror movie that's been done many times before. Previous owner did bad things, new owners experience violent "echoes" of the prior events. The "horror" consists mostly of some gore and jump scares, but to me the worst part of the movie was that the director seems to think that prolonged loud, jarring noises (screams, music- like cacophony, screams, and screams) make for a scary movie.

They don't, and this isn't scary - it's aggravating and annoying. I actually fast-forwarded through many of them.

Otherwise, the movie is just a retread.

If this was the remake with budget, how bad was the original?

As the summary says, if this is the better version with a budget, i dread to think how bad the original was. I actually wondered if i was watching the original, its Absolutely shockingly bad, do not waste your time, bad acting, bad effects, well bad everything. I watched a good portion of the film hoping it would get better, but no it doesn't, so i turned it off. Cant believe i paid £5.50 for this.

It deserves a 0

It was poorly produced, poorly directed, the movie is the worst. I wish I could get back the 26.4 minutes it took from my life. I felt like it was going to turn into a low budget porno movie, right before I almost pulled out my eyelashes from the acting that caused twitching in both my eyes. Hope this is helpful. If you're into self torture, go for it. If you value your time and your self worth, skip it.

Ok bye

Trite themes and horrible acting

This movie is absolutely terrible. Do not waste your time watching it. The acting is atrocious and the story line has been done a thousand times over. It is basically a poor man's amityville horror. I would write a longer review, but this movie is not even worth a second more of my time; that is how bad it is.
