Ok, ok,
So I think I may be desensitized this film didn't creep me out at all ....and I was watching it alone in my house ....which is big and scary when u are alone honestly ....I did like the story for this film, it was a great idea but I felt it was missing just that extra push to be a better movie , which it totally had the potential to be .
My big hate about this is her hair.....I feel like that they skimped on the $$ to get a good hair person , when she is at the motel an her hair is down u can see her tracks to her extensions....I get that u…

I wanted to like it, but the plot is just strange and confusing, hard to follow, too much missing. Caity Lotz is irritatingly poor actor, it's so transparent and pretentious and that could have been saved with a little more interesting characters - but no. Can't get a grip on anything, because it doesn't make any sense.
It has its moments I have to admit, quite creepy atmosphere with half of the film and couple of pretty good jump-scares. Other than that, it offers nothing I have not seen before. The so called plot is so predictable that the final solution is easy to guess already when there's still one of the third of the movie still left to watch... not that it interests in that point any longer.
Not the worst b-class horror film I've seen, but definitely not a good film overall. I recommend you to skip this one, believe me, you won't miss anything.

This is film. Three wojmen all blonde is a horror. Often tell the difference between blonde 3? No, not yes. None women have defining feature, just exist blonde. It has story but garbled. Mess with holes at times. A few aspects= good potentential.These are undrdvelped. Shame. Most part dull and much unengaging.
The review makes about as much sense as the film.

This is a good horror movie until you think about it and then it all kind of falls apart at the end. It is cheaply made with the acting being good but not great and then the final sequence is nicely done. I felt that it could have been a better film if they had spend more time on things, but the more I think about this film, the more I end up not liking it and wishing that I had never seen it.

Spooky short film that inspired the (superior) feature of the same name. Not great but it was interesting to see how the story developed into the longer film. 6/10.

Another excellent film, I am on a roll with quality movie choices. This is a ghost story with elements of serial killer thrown in for good measure. It is really well directed and the scares are very well done. It is a film that has chosen not to follow the norm and instead creates a genre of it's own. It also has a very impressive female lead and some very interesting supporting characters. Good story, great scares and a fresh perspective for supernatural thrillers.

Paper thin characters and a bare bones plot still manage to piece together some effective scares and creepy imagery. Not a classic, cult or otherwise, but one could do much worse in the horror genre

I'm being too hard on this. It's got a great ending scene that is genuinely chilling in thought and the director clearly loves the horror genre and tried to do something in reverence here with a low budget. Still it has a hard time getting to that great reveal.

I watched this movie in broad daylight and it still scared the crap out of me for some reason. My friends thought otherwise, but I still like it. Creepy and claustrophobic, a couple cheap (loud) jump scares, and the dude from Starship Troopers. What's he been up to these days?

Unterdurchschnittlicher Geisterfilm, der zu wenig gruselt und sich zu sehr in die Länge zieht. Nichts daran ist wirklich ärgerlich, aber es gibt halt auch nichts zu loben. Die Auflösung der Geschichte war zwar ganz interessant, aber das war's auch schon.

Surprisingly not that bad. A little low budget, and there is the occasional "ok wtf is going on here?" moment but all in all a solid little film with a few genuine scares. My biggest gripe is that 2 of the actresses look so much alike you can get confused easily. I mean they're supposed to be sisters but it's kind of ridiculous....ok maybe it's just me. My recommendation - watch it with the lights out, late at night, otherwise it may be bit underwhelming.
