Cheesy and intensely horrible acting! I watched this at a film festival and I was laughing and shaking my head for the gross inaptitude of this film. It was so amateurish! Somebody give the son an acting lesson please!

I watched this film at the same festival as the other reviewers and I can say that yes, some actors are not good enough, the delivery of english lines is kind of ackward, but I enjoyed the story. Yes there are horror cliches but the story is unusual and can be appreciated. Unfortunately the poor product placement can be too noticeable and the casting, mostly the kids and the wife was an unhappy choice.

The story is interesting, with a good twist. The acting is awful. The only decent actors are the one who plays the Italian Father and the other one who plays the expat who knows all about the house past. All the others? Amateurish ineptitude.... Poor directing by the way...

For some reason, they tagged this as an Italian film during the Cine Europa. I wanted to admire their attempt to make the movie entirely in English with some splattering of tagalog for effect, but the delivery of the lines were so pedestrian there was no attempt at all to at least use a standard English pronunciation. The dialogue was delivered in a pronounced tagalog accent and because of the struggle to deliver their lines in English the actors failed at a convincing acting. Why didn't they dub over the conversation after getting a good language coach? Mired with poor product placements and a mish-mash of horror clichés, it's a movie that will make you want to drink from the waters of Lethe.

Very poor acting, dialog delivery not good. Not worth watching

I personally don't agree with all those bad reviews. Yes, the acting in not good (the kids are terrible mostly and the leading girl is so flat) but the story is really interesting and takes an unexpected turn.
