Hantée

I saw this movie on TV last Halloween. I'm not saying it was a bad movie but then again I'm not saying it was good either. It was just okay.

I was hoping to see something really creepy and scary and that's NOT what I got. The story was pretty good, it had one or two spooky moments but it was not a scary movie. And I'm a person that scares very easily. It also had a sort of a cheeseball ending too. The effects were good but it was over done and it just wasn't that cool. But it was interesting.

I haven't seen very many scary movies in my lifetime. Not as many as I would like to anyway. But this definitely wasn't a movie I would buy.

I loved this movie. it was filmed 4 houses down from me, in my friend sean's house! i loved meeting the cast! my friends were all in it! like the boys playing with water guns and the girls roller'blading! i was even walking on the street in one scene! The orchard is not there anymore! now there is a much larger neighborhood connected to it! and we don't actually live on a family cemetary!(thank god!) if you have questions, please e-mail me!

I believe the writers were inspired by older films to write this script and it's characters - unimaginative. The little boy will smile and follows the ghost sometimes (he reminds me a little bit of the boy in The Shining at times). The father with an axe, although Beau Bridges' characters didn't go crazy he had to use an axe on the door, reflections of The Amityville Horror and The Shining here. The psychic and the ending of the film reeks of Poltergeist.

In these types of films, why is it the neighbors will never see all the bright blinding "strobe lights" and all the screaming from the family being terrorized? This usually happens at the end/climax of the film. Yea sure blame it on sleep but all that screaming and loud "ghost noises" should have awakened one neighbor up! LOL.

This movie has a family-styled film written all over it... especially the colorful orbs from the little boy ghost. And the cutesy moments that happen, in particular with the mom, psychic and ghosts.

It's far from being a good haunted house movie but it's got a few moments of being fun. - Jeff Bridges is good in this one, he seems like an average dad with a wife seemingly going "mad".

5/10

Can anyone tell me where the house is in Tuckerman Arkansas that this took place with the Johnson family? I live in Tuckerman and just curious. Pretty interesting!

This movie was based on a true story the Johnsons from Tuckerman AR ...Charles and Sharon Johnson ...house was built on a cemetery ...these are my parents the house is the real deal still standing today ...there is also a short story wrote about my family and lots of newspaper articles that support evidence ...very cool to be a part of this and have a film wrote and directed about my family ...course it's made for TV a lot of it didn't happen ...we are actually twin brothers not brother and sister ...the hauntings were real ..the were very real ...I actually started a paranormal investigation team as a result of all this ...if your looking for the real story behind this movie ...look me up Off The Grid Paranormal ...easy to find ...
