A pair of lifelong buddies couldn't hack it in the music business, but before they go their separate ways, they decide to record one final album in a house that's reputed to be haunted.
I went into this blind and was definitely entertained for 90 minutes, although it was not what I expected at all. The characters are likable, the story never went where I thought it was going to, the acting is above average, and the music is good.
The problem is that the story never went where I thought it was going to. The film has the trappings of a horror movie, and they sort of subvert expectations, which could really be cool if it didn't come off so... corny. I respect that writer/director Matthew Fisher had no money and was trying to do something different, but it didn't entirely work.
Still, it was an unusual movie and the leads were engaging, so I can't gripe too much. It's better than what we've been getting from Hollywood in recent years.
