Okay so you go to the Cinema to see a film made with a VERY low budget you don't expect to be that pleased so you expect a not that great film... From the 1st scene I knew straight away that this was not going to be a poor film the quality, the scenery EVERYTHING was just right. It felt like a film you would see around the world but no this was a local film and I just cant believe that a small team with such a small budget managed to pull this off! I cannot imagine what quality of movie could be made with the millions of pounds budget big names spend... For a young crew I can see a very bright future for YFP (Yellow Fever Productions) and I look forward to seeing more movies by George Clarke and Robert Render!
I was bored beyond endurance and it took me 3 days to get through this film, most of which is so damn dark you can't see what's going on except when the handyman is wandering around with a lit match. Even then, you're mostly guessing.
This could have been a neat little tale except that it's too long and there wasn't enough imagination put into it. The setting is atmospheric enough, but too bad it wasn't used to its best advantage.

I saw the cover and thought, "this looks pretty scary". I had never heard of this film but a friend asked about it, so I thought I'd give it a shot. From the start it was slow, boring and what acting you did see was horrendous; it only got worse from there. The "ghosts" were not in the least bi frightening. The jump out of your seat and scream, or "shock" scenes, literally made me laugh they were so poorly done. The cinematography was horrible, even jerky at times. I understand low budget, but compare it to "Insidious" or "Paranormal Activity" which were very low budget as well, this didn't make the cut, by far. This "film" should never have made it to the theaters let alone brought to video. 1 star is way to generous for this"movie".
This Irish ghost story is somewhat of a bore, 85 minutes of very little actual activity and barely even any dialogue.
A lone construction worker ventures into an abandoned derelict care home to seal it up and prevent vandalism but discovers ghostly happenings within.
Trouble is very little happens and when it does it's done frantically and incompetently.
Saying that the film was made for a declared budget of little of £100 and that's outstanding! Regardless it is what it is and it is........a bit of a bust.
The Good:
Well made considering the budget
The Bad:
The "Encounter" moments are noisy, shaky cam, overly long messes
Recycled sound effects
Too many "Filler" scenes
So criminally boring

Not a bad movie, it would have improved immensely if they lopped off about 45 to 60 minutes of its running time. Genuine creepiness with some jump out of your seat scares. Not quite a "found recording" movie (e.g. The Blair Witch Project), but in the same very low budget category.
Did you know
- TriviaDirector George Clarke spent 3 different nights in the old mansion with a paranormal team and psychic lading up to the shoot. Everything that happens in the film, but one ghost, was based on those experiences, sightings and sounds during the visits.
