I just finished this movie and thought it was fantastic. This is a more classic haunting horror film, with a great slow burn build up that actually made me feel scared, which is generally pretty rare.

Initially I had low expectations, initially the chemistry of the actors wasn't great, but once I got into the movie it blew me away, like 8/10 for sure. Probably the best horror movie I've seen in a long time.

I made the mistake of reading the reviews and it's a freaking 5/10 on IMDB, which surprised and bothered me. I would definitely recommend this one.

So, have you seen this one, what did you think?

I would say go in with the expectation that it's a relatively low budget film and don't let that take away from what the movie is

I love ghost movies. They seem to get under my skin more then others

Haven't even heard of this one, will need to check it out. Thanks!

Found out it's by Stephen Cognetti, who made the Hell House LLC series of films (I did not enjoy the latest one, Hell House LLC: Lineage). I am not surprised Cognetti decided to try something different in the horror genre. It must be pretty boring to only do Hell House LLC (Lineage was departure from the found footage format, but the execution was subpar).
