A girl buys a mansion that is more than meets the eye.

A fun flight into fright! This film is imaginative and has a touching twist. Despite the low production value, it is impressive for the budget! It seemed well thought out and decently acted. It is a good flick for a late night. There are a few things that could be improved but to be perfectly honest, those things could have been cleared up with a little more funding. I die film is difficult and you have to just do what you can.

Charmingly Spooky!

The Haunting of Marsten Manor is a great Halloween movie for all ages. Great story-line, scary special effects, believable characters. There's a mystery to that old house and the ghost of Kate Marsten tries to reveal the secret. In the process she helps a young girl, Jill, learn about her connections to her ancestors and how to deal with her own handicap.

I would have rated it 10 but sometimes the dialog lags and slows the story - but that's only because we are more keen on fast moving TV shows.

This has become a classic in our DVD library!

An enjoyable independent film

Good storyline, not unique, but satisfactory. Dialogue was believable. I enjoyed it. The musical score was very good. Some of the actors were better than others but I think that all in all, it was a good, watchable horror film. It has atmosphere and good special effects. I can tell you there are plenty of major motion pictures that aren't as watchable. Well done!

Terrible writing. Terrible cinematography.

My husband is a writer & I have worked in film (on numerous films as well as television series for CBS). I like indie-films & am all for supporting locals. My husband & I suffered thru 80 mins of this film which really made NO sense. The screen play was scattered at best. There was nothing frightening. It was just random. The flashbacks really didn't make sense - they didn't really contribute to the supposed point of the story. Add to the horrendous screen writing, the uber amateur photography and it just screamed beginner. I am shocked it was presented in a film festival. Not to be harsh but I have seen better cinematography and screen writing in productions produced by groups of high-schoolers. Now I know why I haven't heard of David & Julie Sapp in the professional circles in Utah.

Color printing itself was in use even before the 1800s. In 1899, the first "red-letter" edition of the New Testament was published to emphasize words spoken by Jesus and statements of prophecy. Red-letter editions of the entire Bible followed two years later and grew in popularity throughout the 20th century. This version is in great demand and widely distributed to this day.
