Daring film for a new Director, solid work! Good film


Good movie for several reasons

#1 - The Director could have done and gone down many paths, especially with some great character Actors from prior horror series and film, though the choice was this trippy abstract horror theme that doesn't make sense, which some shouldn't, that is why it is horror

#2 - The Dad character, the guy from True Blood, great to see him back in a good film. Equally, seems the Lady from Rose Red King's miniseries?

#3 - The concept of material possessions possessing the current possessors, if that makes sense? Spare this Humble writer a wide opening given with this one for clobbering this review ...

#4 - The music. Some cool rock songs & general music soundtrack.

#5 - An OldTimey record player playing OldTimey spooky vaudeville music in the attic while the kids beat the 'you know what' out they Pappy, ... maybe the kids are really haunted by the terrifying reality their family is split up, Momma is gone & in the real world plain old having too much possessions and crushing debt crushes the Family? A stretch of metaphor but still a possible reason that old frightening hag ghost saw an opening and commandeered the kids ...

#6 - The apathetic teen daughter bumpin' pop rock death metal music sure gets rid of apathy when confronted by hag ghost! Whoa!

Trippy film, excellent job Director, cast and crew!

So what was your role in this film being made, because clearly you were part of the crew, or you're just riding the dick of someone who was involved with it.

This was a hot mess through and through with a myriad of plot holes, nonsense, and gratuitous pg-13 "sex" scenes that had no rhyme or reason to them.

So only we nobodies can comment? Is that an IMDb rule?

So you're an idiot no matter where you're commenting. Good to know!
