This movie is great, and didn't stray from the truth that much. Well, it wasn't scary, I mean I've been living with ghosts for a decade, but it's a nice horror movie.

Meh - your basic ghost story. Despite being based on "true events" the movie throws in a bunch of stuff that was used in such classics as Poltergeist and the jarring music punctuated ever jump scare. Typical.

The background of this supposedly real life story is creepy enough, sadly the movie decides to take that story and add in things that are "supposed" to be scary. As a result you end up with a lot of silly scary movie cliches, and an ending that builds in absurdity and ridiculousness. It does have some pretty good acting from Virginia Madsen and Kyle Gallner as the mother and son dealing with all the problems.

I didn't really care for this one, it was pretty boring and I was able to see just about everything that was coming. Basically it's the story of a family in Connecticut that found a run down house and they slowly begin to learn about the house's past as a funeral home. I've basically given you the story right there, and I think you'd be able to assume the rest of the story just from what you've read. The movie itself though is far from terrible, the acting was okay and the story telling was competent overall. In some ways, it's an okay movie, but it's not something that may offer a lot of appeal to folks who aren't fans of the horror genre.
