Literally the worst movie i have ever seen , if a kid at school gave this in as a project in a drama class they would get an 'f'
leonard lake and charles ng left behind them a story that would have made the movie of all movies as far as serial killers go, then this pack of jokers create this total dross.
actors (if you could call them that) are so bad its actually funny, the filming looks like its been shot on a cheap cell phone.
please do not take my word for this, watch a trailer and see for yourself.

What was their budget for this, $25? Had they just made a documentary, it may have been more successful. The acting is positively horrendous and the music is annoying.
Don't bother watching this movie . there way better movies
You would think this movie is about a haunted house right ?
Wrong its about a serial killer and not about a house like the title of the movie would suggest
The picture quality is atrocious. They attempt to present the horror but provide almost zero context as to what happened. This is one of the most amateurish attempts at film making I've seen in years. I'm confused why they even bothered to make this as it's pathetic and pointless. This was put together without skill, without subtlety, and worst of all, without properly expressing the actual horror that occurred. This is basically an abomination of a film that further harms the victims. Every single thing about this movie is bad. Bad acting, bad directing, bad music, bad sound effect, bad visual effects, bad storytelling. This is simply an awful, ridiculous movie what should have been more considering the atrocious real life events it's based on.
Why does everyone with a camera and a group of friends think they can make a movie? There are some truly great "based on a true story" flicks out there with good production actors and some adherence to the true story. This is made up fluff with nothing to really draw the viewer or hold attention. Don't waste your time on something which doesn't offer any real insight into the events which happened and the horror the real people endured. The actors portraying the victim seem to be no more bothered than someone whose flight is delayed, not truly desperate. Feel bad for the lead female who is really giving her best but is trapped in a bad movie. Would have been more engrossing to document this young actresses horror at being signed on to make a terrible movie than the horror they attempt to portray. Don't waste your time!
