Great atmosphere, but the plot is too thin

The ghost flick The Inhabitants manages some effective, low-key chills, but its story is a touch too spectral. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/?p=23228

I too agree. One of many questions i was left with was why the old owners were allowed to live there together but the new ones weren't?

You mean there was a plot? Generally when a lot of people disappear in a specific area, the police get involved. And who or what was she pregnant from? As far as I could determine it was all atmosphere.

When she was possessed by the witch she had sex with her husband. That's how.

I agree. There was a lot of creepy stuff. But the plot was a little underdeveloped.

I don’t think they went far enough in fleshing out the house’s background. They could have done more with the videos that the husband found (eg previous owners). They could have given more time to the three people who died (they knew the house was owned by a witch, so these 3 could have strengthened the plot). The crazy lady deserves more attention.

So much more they could have done
