Warnings

Definitely wasn't what I was expecting. The movie turned into more of a gore/slasher style movie, which wasn't what I had expected. Based on the write up I figured the movie would be spooky, more like a psychological thriller. The attempted jump scares were poorly done and scenes that were supposed to be scary were cheesy at best.

The acting wasn't greatest, some characters definitely demonstrated more skill than others. The first 3/4 of the movie was drawn out and the end was definitely rushed leaving little suspense. If you're into C, maybe B rated movies then give it a go, but if you like top notch graphics and acting, then you might want to pass on this one.

My husband enjoyed looking at the house and seeing it's potential, but it stopped there. It was definitely in a California wildfire zone.

But, the plot...

A man and his girlfriend buy the property to start a weed farm. Yet, oddly, they don't have a single firearm of any kind.

They're out in the middle of nowhere. May I suggest a shotgun?

If they'd had anyway to defend themselves, this movie would have been four minutes long.

Also, the bad guys looked like their makeup was done with a grocery store Halloween kit.

It's a pass...

Ususal thing, group of friends staying in a house in the middle of nowhere. No phone service etc very standard plot line.

The charactors weren't bad and even though we had the usual drinking session it was refreshing that there wasn't the standard women in skimpy outfits and sex scenes just for the sake of it.

Acting not too bad.

Jump scapes and some decent enough bloodiness.

But over all just "not too bad" and not too great.

The worst big was what was the ending? I don't want to add spoilers but the end was just who/what and why.

Thats all I can say but I have to use a certain minimum amount and just can't think of anything more to say about this so so film.

This movie had a good concept. It was a tried-and-true concept, but reliable. That being said, there were two major issues w/ the movie. Th first was the poor pacing. Everything was very boring for the first 3/4ths of the movie. The final quarter of the movie felt rushed to me. Its comparable to fire work shows that slowly lets off a few non-remarkable fireworks and then hurriedly light them all off at the very end. The second issue is the godawful acting. To be fair, the script didn't give the actors & actresses much to work with, but they need to go back to acting class. The cast also didnt appear to have chemistry amongst one another or something, so the final product looked just that much more forced. There are many good movies out there to watch or re-watch. I would skip this one.

A couple purchase a nice big new house in a dying town for a steal at an auction. However, no one told them anything about the houses past. Locals moved away because of the events that took place there, and the new owners and their friends are starting to realise the steal may cost them their lives.

Sounds interesting enough when you describe it like that, but the movie suffers from one god awful rushed ending. It's like half a script was written and given a green-light to shoot it, but either made the mistake of not having written a good ending first; made the mistake of hiring an amateur to finish the 3rd act, or ran out of money and filmed whatever came to mind first on the last day of filming. Had this movie had a decent ending, it could have been a decent flick.

It obviously had a budget, and the filmmaking is fine, nothing wrong with that, nor the editing or actors. It's the amount of unanswered setups that lead to nothing with no pay-off that leaves you wondering why they bothered to go with the direction it took? Especially when the tagline of the movie is "look out for the signs" that are supposed to be warning them... bad answer *buzzer sound*. Nothing really of the sort takes place, its a misleading tagline.

It's not a horror, maybe more suspense/thriller, but not a great one. It could have been a decent supernatural themed movie, but like I said, nothing set-up pays off, and the stupid rushed ending ruins the entire thing.

I'd recommend you skip this film, don't bother with it, and not even check it out if the chance comes along to watch it for free. It's just a disappointing hour and a half of your life you won't get back.
