Plot
Since they are unable to afford their previous house, Ellison Oswalt's family moves. As they are moving in, the Sheriff warns him that this house's previous owners were murdered and to be careful. Ellison finds some old film movies up in the attic and realizes, watching them, that they seem to be about the people that had lived in the house previously and potentially a few other families over the years. As he digs in deeper, he finds that the other families had also been killed/murdered. Is there a connection between all of them? Is there a common killer? Is the killer still around, that he has to worry about his family's sake, or is the killing streak done? Things get creepier and the whole family starts feeling the affects of something almost sinister in their midst. What can the family do? Can they survive?
Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
2.5/5 - *SPOILERS*
Terrible suspense music and jump scares. The plot line was kinda bland because the character was researching, not getting barely anywhere with the research, reached out to a deputy and a professor but still really didn't get anywhere with his research. The deputy put the connections together at the end though the writer had mentioned the address connection previously (WHY did the writer not see the connection?!). The fact that the kids were the killers was a bit "Children of the Corn" reminiscent. They should have gone more into detail about the "stealer of children's souls" thing. I did not expect the daughter to do it, considering the boy's night terrors, which is one thing that the movie succeeded with but that's not much.
In my personal opinion, I did not enjoy this movie. The story line was not "organic" moving through the story. The music was absolutely terrible and the jump scares were built up in a "watch out for the jump scare" way, which made it pathetic. I personally will not volunteer to watch this movie again and I do not recommend it, but it might your thing so feel free to ignore my view and watch it (but don't say I didn't warn you).
Anyways, that's my movie review. Thanks for reading. More reviews to come eventually.
