Ugh...

OK, basically, I can sum it up for you like this..

Lifetime quality "horror" music; worse than a lifetime movie "acting" - which was mixed with a badly put together ghost "hunting" show that you would see on cable. I say acting in quotes as I can tell you that now, I would rather watch another Lifetime movie about "that girl," than watch this. I have seen bad movies in my time, but I have to say, I think that this even isn't worth putting on any network channel.

I go with Plot, Char development, and cinematography.

Plot was terrible. Another story of person A loses loved one, now going nuts trying to get them back, while person's B, C, D etc, think he's a lunatic, meanwhile persons B, C, and D all have issues... not to mention that only two of them are really only discussed, and then there is the crazy one, who doesn't live long due to "unfortunate" causes... blah blah. And someone please tell me where the heck this house is, that it takes almost 1/3rd of the movie for a police car to reach the house - from a station that's supposed to cover it... it went from the middle of the night (when they left) to daytime - not even morning but daytime.

Errors noticed: Bagging a woman who is still breathing for starters. One guy apparently suffering from CO poisoning for a long time. The stuff doesn't work it's way out, it's in the bloodstream unless treated. Ambulance shows up, and about 15 medics/techs pour out of it, no other vehicle is shown. An AED never would have brought back someone with Carbon Monoxide poisoning... not a chance - even with movie standards.

Character development took much too long, and the movie dragged throughout. No sense of suspense. No sense of eerieness or sense of anticipation even. Too many unanswered questions, and then again, way too many answered questions too early in the movie. You know what to expect from the characters before it was even shown.

Cinematography was either a horribly failed attempt at suspenseful or eerie, or the directors version of a joke on film. Lighting throughout the movie was too much or too little, and you cannot - under any circumstances - black out in a room without showing more of the room than just two guys staring at a camera. Don't show a close up of someone, when we know that they are taken care of by another character for literally 1:30 minutes. That's a lifetime when bad acting is involved.

Honestly, this would have done much better with a more thought out..., well, everything.
