    You have NO new messages....

    Family from the big city with a troubled teen daughter decide to make a clean break putting all their troubles behind them starting a new life on a farm. The farm is run down, the house very 'amitiville' style dark and has a history...... yep does sound familiar doesn't it !!! Wasn't the worst 90 minutes ever, it is tense-ish at times, but is definately not 'horror' and, unless you have been hiding in the cellar yourself for the past 30 yaers, you will certainly have the 'I've seen all this before' feeling right from the start. Not entirely shabby, but unless you are a teen looking for any excuse you can to get your partner to cuddle up closer, don't go out of your way to watch this one.

    Brilliant!!!

    I felt stressed and on edge throughout the film. There were plenty of moments that made me jump. Enjoyed the story line. Don't want to spoil the film and give anything away. The little boy was brilliant. Highly recommended. Should not disappoint.
