3/5 UNDERWHELMING ADRIAN PAUL PERFORMANCE
  by INTELLECTUAL HETEROSEXUAL (BALTIMORE, MD)
I AM A HUGE ADRIAN PAUL FAN. SINCE HE HAS MOVED ON FROM THE HIGHLANDER SERIES, HIS MOVIE CHOICES RUN THE WHOLE SPECTRUM: REAL GOOD TO PEEU. THIS WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, AND CONSIDERING HE DIDNT HAVE MUCH OF A SPEAKING PART...3 STARS WAS GENEROUS. I WONT SPOIL IT FOR YOU IN CASE YOU'RE LIKE ME AND WANT TO SEE ANYTHING MR PAUL IS IN. THE OTHER REVIEWER WAS RIGHT- THERE ARE A FEW CHILLS FROM THE EFFECTS YOU CANT DENY. BUT THIS WAS A LOT LIKE ANOTHER " CAMP FULL OF HAPLESS TEENAGERS ABOUT TO BE KILLED BY THE BAD GUY."

5/5 spooky
  by Jendeana (Fort Walton Beach)
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. The cast thankfully, even if mostly unknown was quite believable. Theres nothing I hate more than a horror movie with cheesy actors and this was definitely not one of those. Adrian Paul plays creepy perfectly without saying much at all. The little girl ghost gave chills every time she came on the screen. Well written and very well acted for a horror movie that didn't rely heavily on cheap effects or otherwise. Definitely worth the watch.

4/5 Better than expected
  by Dancing Ganesha (Northern Hemisphere)
I was surprised that a film that is obviously low-budget would not be so bad. The directing really made the difference; whoever was in charge of that helped to make a film that could have been really ridiculous, appear to be of better quality.

There are some good scares in this film that don't depend on much makeup artistry, special effects, or gore. I'd recommend this film to someone who thinks all low-budget horror films are stupid or "all the same." This one will prove them wrong.

3/5 A surprisingly good film
  by Horror Buff (Hickory, NC)
I'm surprised there hasn't been more interest in this film, considering it does a nice job in maintaining some suspense and has a few chills thrown in for good measure. The story is an intriguing one, involving an old apartment building being renovated for a college dorm. The building's history involves a sordid past that left restless spirits revisiting the scenes of their shared history. The few college kids (of course) left behind over break make the mistake of holding a seance, unleashing unforseen horror that they spend most of the movie trying to explain and escape. The story is an interesting one, the pace more than reasonable, and the mood is worthy of a late night ghost story with the lights out.

I don't want to overrate the film, but for a straight to DVD release, it is a worthy rental. There are only a few characters, and their development is virtually nonexistent, but that is not what the film is about. The real concern is the story of the haunting and the history of the building, and it is fairly well executed. You'll want to avoid injecting too much logic into it, or you'll ruin the fun. This is nothing more than a little ghost story to go along with the popcorn, and it is satisfying at that level. Don't expect too much blood or special effects, as the budget obviously doesn't allow for it. And the acting is less than stellar, but it never reaches the laughable stage that horror fans sometimes have to endure. But it is good fun, and at least you'll not be in a hurry to finish the film.

5/5 If the script is as good as the editing.

I read the script and if it's as good as the film editing this should be a thriller similar to Ghost Ship except trapped in a college Dorm instead of on a derelict ship.

Since the film did win the best feature film award at Shockerfest, I'm guessing that Mark Smith had some excellent editing done to go with his directing. I didn't watch all of his directing but I watched several hours and thought he did an excellant job. I can't wait to see this.

Have since seen the film and As a suspense thriller it does a great job. It won't win any academy awards for writing as Mark could have spent an extra 10 to 20 minutes at the start of the film developing the characters in more detail. Other than that I felt it was definately a film worth seeing. I also thought the Ghosts performed excellently. With the convenience of rentals these days I might recommend renting before purchasing and decide for yourself. Of course I purchased my copy here at Amazon.
