On a dark and stormy night, attractive Katrina Law (as Lori) arrives at a farmhouse mansion. We learn she's going to live there and marry strange boyfriend Jody Quigley (as Doug). We know Mr. Quigley is strange due to how he sets up a scene to scare Ms. Law, before proposing to her. Also, nobody but a set designer would set-up as many candles in a room as does Mr. Quigley; and, his character is never mentioned as being a set designer. Well, Quigley's mansion is a "fixer-upper" and he is restoring the old house. There is s shutter in the front he never gets right. Of course, locals warn Quigley that his house has a dark past. Early in the running time, Quigley meets flirty jogger Lili Bordán (as Jamie) and changes her flat...

This could best be described as a psychological thriller...

Most of the action comes to rest on Quigley's "Doug" character. While we see a progression, there may be no otherworldly reason for his exaggerated reactions, other than good (or bad) old-fashioned guilt. At first, we assume the house is a "living" character, but perhaps the past tragedies are only a coincidence. At the conclusion, it's not real clear. It would have helped if there was some link between "Doug" and a more clearly defined house. Although having him inherit the estate from distant relatives is a cliché, it would complement and add some authority to the story. Director Quinn Saunders manages to engage with stark quietness surrounded by a few jolts, but the ending struggles to tie things up quickly and without satisfaction.

*** Apparition/ Remorse (2015/05/05) Quinn Saunders ~ Jody Quigley, Katrina Law, Lili Bordán, Dave Droxler

The mind can be a beautiful thing. It can also be a tricky or deceiving thing. Or it can be just used to make a horror movie. Not a very good one at that though. Unfortunately this is very poorly made and it tries to shock you into certain things. I don't think it achieves anything by that for the viewer.

It does tick all the boxes you need for a movie like that. But apart from its predictability it just is weak in its script, setting and acting. The lack of any real surprises and the clichés just add to the dread of watching this unfold. Characters being stubborn is one thing (until someone literally hits them over the head and they realize it's too late) ... it's a shame, there was a better movie hidden somewhere in between

Tortured over the death of his fiancée, a troubled man moves into a lonely farmhouse they were intending to move into together and immediately becomes tormented by her ghost as he tries to move on with the help of a neighbor to solve the mystery.

This one certainly had some fine moments to it when it really tried. What really helps this one is the rather strong sense of suspense that runs throughout here which is mostly featured through the interactions within the house. Brought along nicely by the tragedy that sets the whole thing in motion, the effect of being there with the continuous amounts of shock jumps in here with the visions of his fiancée tormenting and torturing his new attempted romance. While mostly being relegated to brief spurts that turn out to be dreams when they do occur, the scenes of the ghost girl walking around the house performing chores and getting trapped around in the various rooms here definitely make for a rather intriguing time here with the way they start the film going about the different intentions of getting back together with him. Even later scenes of them around the house tormenting him have a rather nice time here, while the finale is where this one really picks up with the notion of finally letting the grief of the situation manifested in her ghost terrorizing him in long, drawn-out scenes that take nice effect of the strong storyline and great atmosphere to end this on a nice note. Still, there's plenty of areas here that definitely hold this one back quite heavily. The biggest issue with this one is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of time actually spent on the haunting moments throughout the first half here are just so brief and quick that it can't really showcase them at all. The scenes are over in such a blink that it doesn't really register for much of the time that it was supposed to have been a terrifying experience he had when she quickly flashes around into an ugly ghost or throwing the different women ghosts as well which makes this all the more frustrating that hardly anything gets involved with these scenes. The utterly irritating ploy about them nearly always being a dream doesn't help them all that much either, and along with the bland pace and drama-like feel that runs throughout the majority of the time here which are even bigger crippling factors. As well with the inability to really tell what made the other ghosts appear or their influence on the story, these here all hold this one down.

Rated Unrated/R: Violence and Language.

With a budget of 3 million you expect a certain level of competence, alas no such thing can be found here.

Originally titled Remorse this is another one of those horrors which leaves the viewer pondering whether what they are witnessing is supernatural or purely mental illness.

Truth be told I didn't ponder too hard as I simply didn't care.

This unforgivably dull, boring, lifeless horror effort has been done before so many times but rarely this poorly.

Unengaging, weakly made and an all round bore.

The Good:

Katrina Law

The Bad:

Relies too much on jump scares

Recycled

Dreadful plot

It's what I fear most about a horror movie I've never heard about. The studio is one I've never heard of...and I watch a LOT of B horror movies. The actors names are not any that I recognize. Still, I'm open to a surprise or two. I have to say, the acting is good. However, having said that, there is such a thing about TOO many dream scenes. I can stand one or two...but when there's too many...it seems like I can't tell what's real or not. ANNOYING. Also...not too many jumps in this movie. It's a good flick, keeps you interested, but really not something that I'll watch again. $1.60 goes to Redbox for bad movie night with my beautiful wife.

An extremely bad attempt at constructing a film based around the loss of a soon to be bride and the purchase of a house with a supernatural history needing renovation.

The film starts badly with a male lead who makes my hairstyle look good (I am bald) and a marriage proposal that belies the law of physics with rose petals.

Acting is poor, story and script weak and effects more aural than visual.

The other reviewer I can only assume is both physically and mentally incontinent, reproducing what he saw on screen in his underwear.

Don't waste your time....... You have been warned.

A total waste of time, you have been warned. Do not see this load of C R A P.

I am a big fan of horror films, grudge,ring,conjuring one of the best. This was nothing compared to them - NOTHING.

It's about the inner struggle of a young man who has lost his wife and child in a car crash. They tried to show his suffering in a "psychological mystery" way, but failed. The dialogs are lame, the music surrounds mostly every scene in a "meaningful creepy" way. The visuality is sober like taken on video camera - clean, sterile. And over the whole playtime I couldn't really match with this depressive sissy. It needs some more, some surprise that takes me with. I've seen too many movies, sometimes watched hard situations of protagonists of other & better made movies of that kind, to find something interesting on this one. These characters swim in a depressive soupbowl of the void without being interesting. :(

This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. The story is poorly constructed and the acting abysmal. At first I couldn't understand why the unattractive and amateurish lead was cast in the role, but it all made sense when I saw that an individual with the same surname was a producer... "Sure! I'll produce your movie, if you give my son/grandson/nephew the lead role..."

Do not bother watching.

If you like films of Supernatural content without the gore, you should really like watching this film. It has a well written storyline, great music score and very talented actors that bring the film to life. The main characters do a great job at showing their emotional state, which allows the audience to experience their joys, sorrow and pain through out the entire film. This film kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next, because it is not your average predictable feature film. For me I really like films with twists and turns rather than figuring out the ending in the first 10 minutes of the film. I really enjoyed viewing this well thought out film and gave it a big 10 stars. Kudos!

My word, there are bad films with good actors and the occasional good film with bad actors but really? The women in the film obviously have done some acting, I don't have a problem with them. The men, especially the lead, are shocking. Amateurish, wooden and just plain awful. The story is not much cop either. This review doesn't contain spoilers because the film is already spoilt.
