This is apparently somebody's home movie project gone horribly wrong. Note the list of "actors," all of whom share a handful of last names, and few of which have been in so much as a toothpaste commercial before, or since. The "director" hasn't directed anything else either, but at least he was an extra on an episode of Walker Texas Ranger.

Needless to say the acting, writing, photography, direction and everything else are strictly amateur-hour. In all seriousness, if you filmed your local high school's drama club show, it couldn't be a whole lot worse. It makes the average after-school special look like Citizen Kane.

Positive reviews and ratings are no doubt from the cast and crew. That is the ONLY possible explanation. In support of this, consider that as of this writing, neither of the two positive reviewers have reviewed a single other film on IMDb. In fact, they were written one day apart, and coincidentally right around the time that this direct-to-DVD crapfest would have been hitting the bottom shelf of your local video store.

In addition to the fact that this is just an abysmally made film (imagine giving a camcorder to the average high school drama club) the people who think that there is anything "real" about this legend need to grow up. This is the 21st century. Guess what: ghosts don't exist. Most people learn that from their mother when they're about 5 years old. You guys seriously need to grow up.

The fact that a fraud was perpetrated nearly 2 centuries ago does not make it any less a fraud. The fact that a large number of inbred hillbillies from Tennessee believe it doesn't do it either. Go to college. Or at least finish high school.

I had the great misfortune to be trapped on an airplane playing this movie a few years back. It was a horrible experience. Seriously, if I hadn't been at 30,000 feet I would have run, not walked, for the exit. Even so I was seriously considering it.

Though I'm a guy I don't actually mind the occasional "chick flick" when they're competently made, but I can't even begin to imagine what these people were thinking. At some point didn't somebody in the cast or the director or SOMEONE realize what an incredible crap-fest they were filming? This film is so bad that it's impossible for me to look at any of the actors the same way after seeing it. I lost all respect.

I am forced to write at least ten lines for IMDb to accept my review, but the best review of this film I ever read was two words: "Not this."
