The idea of a gore fest for Halloween has bored me of late, I found myself digging for a good supernatural thriller last night and came across this indie. Done in the style of Blair Witch this flick follows a paranomal investigation in 2002 which killed the team of investigators.
The investigation follows the team as they spend 3 days in the Masterson house. A notoriously haunted home which was the scene of a number of grisly murders several years before.
I'm a little late to the party on this one, it came out in 2007 and won a few awards for writing. I can understand the writting winning an award. The movie is fairly tightly written and contains a few decent scares. Despite the low budget, the effects are well done.
The acting is a bit off putting however, it comes accross as stiff and awkward. I will grant that this may have been intentional as the film was intended to convey amateurs filming a ghost hunt, so I will grant them the benefit of the doubt.
On the whole I enjoyed the flick, it kept my interest throughout, and was enough of a scare to make me jump a couple of times. Give it a shot, its a free rent these days on Netflix streaming.
Heres the link on IMDB. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1160317/
