Synopsis:
The film is based on the true story of the Wyrick Family, whose daughter, Heidi, began seeing allegedly ghosts from the 80's when they moved to a rural house. Heidi apparently befriends "Gordy" whom at first her parents believed to be her imaginary friend. She also sees another ghost named Con who tried to kidnap her. Her father (Andy) investigates and he finds out both men are dead. His wife (Lisa) on the other hand is a struggling medium who is going crazy due to sixth sense overdose. Lisa's sister (who also has 6th sense) moved on the Wyrick's property in a trailer van. When Heidi was taken, her parents will uncover the truth about the haunting which is connected with the underground rail road and an evil racist taxidermist.
Review:
Considering the creepy environment where the movie was shot, it should have been really frightening BUT except for the hanging scene of Lisa's sister, all the jump scare parts are very predictable. The staging of this movie was quite boring. While the cast seemed solid, acting was good and they tried to overpower the script, the problem is the film itself is hard to get through. I'm not saying to make it more like the unexpected turn of events that happened in Cabin in the Woods or add more gore factor like that of the Evil Dead but when a film uses a location like a small house on the woods, it's hard for the audience not to compare and expect for MORE EVIL, SCARIER, MORE GORY scenes. I'm not saying it's a bad movie it is just one of those typical movies I've watched that did not registered in my mind.
