Directed by Sean Oliver, who co-wrote Forever Home with Drew Leatham, this is the tale of Ryan (Leatham) and Jules (Sammie Lideen), a young couple who have moved across the country and somehow unwittingly spent all of their money on a new home. To top it all off, they soon learn that it's haunted.

Before that, they're surprised by Alice the realtor (Colleen Hartnett). They have to go through all the paperwork, which is always way too much and caused me flashbacks. Then they go around and introduce themselves to the neighbors. And then their first night alone in the house is interrupted by Max (Cody Hunt), who seemingly moves right in.

And soon enough, they learn they don't just have one ghost in the house - Peggy (Shelly Boucher), who they thought was a neighbor! - but actually three ghosts if you count the kids, Esley and Gavin (Maddox and Xander Simmons). To try and get some peace, they hire a professional. They hire a medium named Megan Marjorie Markle IV (Alison Campbell) who ends up getting killed in the house and haunting Ryan, Jules and Max.

Maybe when a medium comes in and has packages to sell you, you should know that you're in trouble.

That's when they also learn that if you die in the house, you're stuck there forever. And if they aren't careful, they're going to join him. Forever Home is an interesting film because it's just as much about relationships and real life as it is the world of ghosts. The effects might not be the fanciest you've seen, but it's definitely a movie with heart and soul.
