Storyline
Featured review
Moving into a new house, a woman and her husband try to acclimate to the move after being surprised with the opportunity to own it and start making it into their home, but when she believes strange incidents around the house are making her crazy tries to figure out what's going on.
Overall, this was a fairly cheap and formulaic indie effort. The simplistic setup involving the couple's arrival at the house and trying to get acclimated to what's going on in their new property and the strange noises it makes provides a decent enough starting point to what's going on. The strange visions and flashes of someone walking by in the distance, objects moving by themselves, or the inability to determine the source of scratching noises heard throughout the house help to create the kind of atmosphere where the hint of the supernatural is unraveled rather nicely with a solid enough baseline to allow for the possibility that she's potentially going crazy just as much as there is a supernatural presence in the house. This indeterminate nature of what's going on in the house allows for a familiar if still somewhat enjoyable storyline to propel this along while also highlighting the big issue here in just how bland and dull this one is. The reliance on the same general style of setpieces intended to be scary, whether it's the strange noises within the house or the disappearing objects left around, it just grows tiresome taking up the running time without much deviation due to the whole experience equating to her finding something odd he brushes off and telling her to not worry about it until the next instance. This isn't interesting or scary and just continually produces boredom and disinterest in what's going on without any stakes or purpose in what's going on, especially once the culprit is known which adds an explanation for things but little else. Combined with a lack of scares or gore to liven things up, and it remains quite bland at times.
Rated Unrated/PG-13: Language and Violence.
