Starring Aurora Perrineau, Jaden Piner, Jill Marie Jones, Rob Zabrecky, Charley Palmer Rothwell and Dwight Henry
Plot: A torn suburban family refuses to heed the warning of an innocent prank which causes an unknown supernatural force to wreak havoc
This movie centers around a really disfunctional family. The kids have issues. Their parents are religious and conservative and what a shocker they are massively hypocritical.
This movie is pessimistic and I hate that crap. It’s so damn easy to bitch and moan and offer zero hope or ideas. Just wax philosophical but claim nothing will change.
I AM GOING TO SPOIL THE ENDING NOW
Right after I tell you that there is boobs, but the overall movie is still kinda boring.
The movie is trying to say that “our mistakes become our ghosts” but like a lot of modern horror it does so in a negative way. See after the family all gathers at home, shit gets crazy. The father, James just leans into preaching even though his family is upset. They finally decide to leave but way too late. The doors are locked and the phone is out. You find out all the “bad” things each person did even if the thing isn’t bad. The parents and Morgan get together and decide to try to beat this thing but Caleb is possessed or something and burns down the house with his family inside. The End.
There is no redemption, no chance to make good, no hope, nothing to reach for here.
So we gave it a 26, don’t waster your time. If you want to watch a movie about creating your own demons but you haven’t given up on life and want a hopeful, positive ending/outlook, I recommend watching Iron Man 3, trust me, it is waaaay better.
10 Things That Make Me DJVoorhees.
1. My favorite food is pepperoni pizza. From the East Coast of course.
2. My most prized possession is a replica of the Hellraiser puzzle box. My sister haggled the price for me, but she still doesn't like touching the thing.
3. Controversial Food Opinion Time! For one, fish is meat. It was once alive. Now it's food. Fish is meat. For another thing, a lot of fish can be paired with different kinds of cheese and be quite delicious. Gordon Ramsey and many other chefs are wrong. Yeah, I said it.
4. A lot of movies make me tear up. I'm not too proud to admit that. Even horror gets me when done well. Train to Busan, for instance, hit me so hard, I think I cried during the whole end credits.
5. My dream house would be all one story, have a huge back yard for our 2 dogs, a huge catio for our 2 cats (complete with tunnels, trees, and a cat door so they can run in and out whenever), several industrial-sized airconditioning systems, a solar array, a panic system, a library, a game room, a movie theater, 3 different kitchens, an indoor swimming pool, 2 koi ponds and a giant wall surrounding the whole damn thing.
6. If I could have superhero type powers, I'd want to make anyting I can imagine, a reality. Organic or inorganic. A living thing or a sandwich. If I see a Burger King commercial, I want to be able to think a Whopper into being right in front of me.
7. I'm enjoying a lot of interesting music lately. From classic rock to modern singer-songwriters. Some of my favorites are Jasmine Thompson, Norah Jones, Chris Stapleton and the great James Taylor.
8. I watched wrestling for over a decade from the 90's into the 2000's. Recently, with the introduction of the Bloodline faction and the return of The Rock, I started watching it again. I'm really liking it, too. Some of my favorites are Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn.
9. Creepy, sickly, old women scare me. Think "Zelda" from Pet Sematary, "Mrs. Kersh" from IT, and "The Countess" from Black Sabbath.
10. My first pet ever was a bunny named Buffy. Yes, after the vampire slayer. The movie slayer though, not the show one. Do not like the show.
