I really chose of stinker when I decided to watch this. The writers apparently couldn't decide if they wanted to make a ghostly horror movie or a retelling of a pseudoscientific investigation, so I guess they randomly shuffled some pages from various scripts together, took some adderall, and made this. This takes itself so seriously, it's pretty much looped back around to almost being funny. I think this could be great fodder for the old MST3k or Riff Trax. In fact the adult kid characters, Helen and her brother, never stop giving the impression like they wandered in from a different production, a parody of this movie, where they provide broad comedy. I have no idea what the filmmakers were thinking. I was 3/4 into this and still wondering every few minutes if I should just turn it off.
Watch this movie, then watch the first Evil Dead, then watch arguments that budget was the problem vanish in a ghostly mist.
