    If you don't, nobody will ... yes?

    No pun intended - the movie is quite ... predictable too. I assume that the big twist towards the end is not that much of a twist for most of the viewers of this. Especially if you have seen a horror movie or two. I accidentally stumbled upon this ... almost like the main characters do with the house. We see the past and then we also see the now ... not that people learn a lot - growing up and maturing are two different things.

    The movie is sort of decent enough - shockers included. But it also feels like you could skip most of it and just go to the end to get the end we deserve ... or do we? Well you hopefully will know what I mean ... and yes no pun intended.

    Good acting, beautiful faces and a gripping storyline

    Good teenage horror film. Not exploring much in the way of a new storyline but still an enjoyable film. It nonetheless keeps you gripped. Sis friends enter an old abandoned asylum in order to throw a wicked, unforgettable party. With DJ Lux on the decks and the beautiful Victoria pouring the drinks what could go wrong? Um, well loads actually. They start to suspect they're not alone and boy are they right. It's good to finally see actors and actresses who aren't well know finally having a chance to shine. Terence Corrigan and Kara Tointon stand out in particular. Playing Graham and sexy Victoria, they make the film more pleasing to the eye.

    A good one for a night in with the girls.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    Well, this is possibly the worst film I've ever watched. The acting is TERRIBLE. It's actually so bad that it's hilarious.

    This film is worth the watch for the hilarity of just how bad it is. I was honestly in tears with laughter at one point.

    It's almost like a group of kids have got together to film a badly scripted show for their GCSE drama practical. Actually, I've seen better from school performances.

    Don't even get me started on the ghosts; they basically got some kids, stuck some talc on their faces and told them to walk about now and again and look at people.

    How did this actually get made?!

    Acting = 0 Plot = 0 Directing = 0 Visual = 0 Scare factor = 0

    I've given a point for it being so bad that it was comical.

    Oh dear.

    I can only assume I've watched a different film to the rest of the people leaving reviews here. What an absolute load of drivel! Boring, boring, boring...then apparently we should be terrified by seeing a couple of kids. More utter boredom then an ending that was so predictable you could have guessed it before the film even started! I've seen better acting and more horror in peppa pig! Also the kids at the beginning of the film...what happened to the kid left outside in the wheelchair?? No further mention of him at all. Did he just get forgotten about? Probably be a good idea to forget this whole film. 1 hour and 20 minutes that I'll never get back.

    ok near the end, but nothing much here

    This is a film that gets going, but unfortunately only at the end. This is where it gets good but there is not enough of it really to save the movie. The acting is weak for the most part and there is nothing really horrifying to make it. It made me think of a horror movie version of eastenders. I dont really know what else to write about this film so ill say how its structured. A group of what we call teens go into a abandoned asylum. They want a rave to happen in this place and so they set out to get it all ready. Theres after this a lot of talking that makes the film slow and drawn out. Till the real stuff happens at the end but not for long. I will say however it is pretty good what happens but thats it.
