Featured reviews
Only 20 mins in and I'm ready to gouge my eyes out, shove pens in my ears, and then slit my wrists and throat. Ok so the last part was stretching it... Wow, where to begin. Might as well start with the acting, because it's like the singer's voice in a band, it'l make or break it. Yeah this acting shattered it. Just awful...I mean... do they audition these people? Do they just say, "Who's willing to work for free?" K everyone who raised their hand, you're hired! There's a little 3 min news story at the beginning of the movie laying out the history and bad things that happened. Best and only good part of the movie. Laid out a descent horror story. Boy did it fail to measure up. Ok so, I'm gonna finish suffering through this so none of y'all who are smart enough to read reviews before watching movies, can be spared the torture this movie spews out. I'll come back at the end to update and finish this review.
Easily gotta say that the worst part about this was the acting. It was really sad. Too forced and just...BAD.
the real horror in this movie is the horrifying thought of realizing that you have wasted your time on it.
story line...seen in so many movies before, no special twists or anything like that, so you are stuck between pushing terrible acting thoughts and knowing what's going to happen anyway.
I guess that's a good one when you are really bored or can't be bothered about what's on the screen. BAD.
nothing else to say really.

Movie takes itself too seriously to be enjoyable schlock.
None of the actors feel like they've taken anything past 5th grade drama at school, the writing is so stilted and unenjoyable, the horror is non-existant, the darkness and terrible sound mixing make it physically hard to hear and see.
I watched to the end so you don't have to.

This film was originally called Bind but then they decided to do some marketing scam in conjunction with the Conjuring films. They figured it needed it and they were right. This is one awful movie so if they don't get you buying it by mistake, chances are you won't.
A family moves into a house that used to be an orphanage at one time. Tragic events took place making even more tragic events take place and so on. The film has a few things moving on its own but the crux of the hauntings are more of the spirit taking over someone's body to make them kill. The acting was so bad in this and the ending was one of the worst I've seen in a long time. Avoid this one.

I've watched horror movies since I was 5. And this wasn't what I consider horror. It could have been a lot better. However, if you don't have the funds for an over the top horror film then this movie isn't that bad. Yeah the storyline could've been better and the actors could've been better. But my daughter and I enjoyed it.
