Kid has cancer. His family decides to get another place near the hospital in CT to avoid the huge commute back and forth as he is going through chemo. Of course the fucking mother has to pick the creepiest house that used to be an old funeral home right? What caring parent wouldn't freak the shit out of her kids by telling them dead people used to be chopped up in the basement.
Lots of creepy shit happens in the house. Some of it was genuinely creepy. Especially the eyelid shit. My issue with this, and the last haunted house/room movie I saw, is they drag it out for so god damn long. The movie (which I just looked up) is 92 minutes long.... It was a LOOOOONG 92 minutes. I thought it was at least two hours. Like 1408 from a couple summers ago, its just drags and drags. We get it, the fucking house is haunted. Explain why already and progress the story. This could have been a nice made for TV horror on demand that is a 60 minute creepy show to watch.
There were some out of nowhere plot twists too, as in the middle of the movie, all of a sudden it comes back to the forefront that the dad used to be a raging alcoholic. Okay. Great. Just so they could have a scene of him freaking out and scaring the family I guess.
There were definately some creepy things in it. All the dead bodies that turn up wound up being cool. The religious undertones though were like WTF? Is this the Happening only regarding ghosts?
Wait for the DVD, or even better, cable.
