doug-64664 Life is too short; precious moments and all that. Why throw away 90 minutes you'll never get back? It occurred to me while watching this update on watching paint dry that if movies had IQ's, this one's would be very low. Summation: Painfully slow and pointless; useful only as an exercise in how not to make a movie. The only reason it got one star was because zero wasn't offered as an option.If you have to decide between watching this film or staring at a wall for 96 minutes, take the wall. You'll have put your time to better use.

Rob-o Lifetime showed this movie for free on demand. I did not know that Lifetime showed horror movies, but then I realized why this fits the Lifetime motto of "Television for Women" because there were women in this movie. There were dead women, teenage women, crazy killer adult women - this movie had them all!Anyways, this movie was bizarre. Who was the crazy killer woman? Was it Jordan's aunt? If not, then how did Jordan come to live with her after her mom died? Did the woman and her husband, who killed Jordan's mom, just say to somebody in Los Angeles that they wanted to adopt this teenager? And then they lock her in the bathroom with pennies while they go out on a date night of doing blow and playing mini golf? My wife and I agree that Jordan dating that guy in the glasses was ridiculous. He was clearly out of his league, and he swung a shovel like he had no bones in his wrist. I googled "A Haunting at Silver Falls Academy Awards" and was surprised to find that this movie won none - not even for the guy in the glasses. Personally, I would have given the Wearing Glasses Award to the guy in the glasses. It was a bold move to start making out with Jordan in the basement while those twin ghosts tore her "aunt" and "uncle" to shreds. Well played, guy in glasses. Well played.

Jon Patrick I added this movie to my "to watch" list months ago but only just got around to watching it, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I finally got around to seeing it. Suffice to say hugely impressed by the quality of the movie and wish I had watched it sooner.Every aspect of the production was good but it was story arc and the twists in the plot that really makes it stand out. After I started writing my review I took a glance at the IMDb rating and couldn't help but chuckle when I saw that it was currently a 4.7. For anyone who may consider paying any sort of credence to that ridiculous number I would suggest you pay no attention and watch the movie for yourself.The acting as a whole was very good but there were two fantastic performances that need mentioning in Alix Elizabeth Gitter as Jordan and Tara Westwood as her psychotic aunt. Neither of these ladies have their own Wikipedia pages to my astonishment – they deserve a lot of recognition for their talents. There were two negatives and I'll mention them separately. Firstly I think Jordan's lack of friends or lack of emphasis on her social life other than the two love interests hinders the movie. It would have been good to show whether or not she did have a circle of friends rather than ignore that issue to make it a bit more relatable. The second issue was an oversight with the plot towards the end where Robbie is supposed to meet her at the back of the house but, after being attacked, this obviously doesn't take place. However, they don't mention Robbie afterwards or explain whether he just gave up and went home or continued to wait.The highest praise of all should be awarded to the ending of the movie and how satisfying it was. Usually horror movies will falter or lose steam towards the end but this movie saved the best drama for last. If anything there should have been more of a struggle between the Aunt/Uncle and Larry/Jordan as it ends up being quite an easy comeuppance. On that note the ending does come about rather quickly, so in retrospect they could have made it a bit longer to allow for everything to sink in and to explain where Jordan goes from here. It was a little rushed in that respect, but honestly I was on such a high from the satisfying conclusion that I didn't really notice until now.All in all I would highly recommend this to fans of the genre and feel compelled to congratulate them on a great piece of work.

Jaeon I give it a 7/10 since it was different from what i expected of it.There were many minor things throughout the film that could be nitpicked on but overall I enjoyed it.I just finished watching this on Netflix on my tablet while being distracted with things going on in real life. Maybe that's why I overlooked the adoption part but picked up on it as the film went on. Maybe they just quickly shot through that tidbit.Acting was decent. I'm familiar with the psych guy, he usually does well with his roles.The aunt and her boyfriend were cast well too. She really extrudes the dominant aura in a relationship, especially at the end of the film.I like how the movie pokes at the typical, make a move on the young girl yet he never did (til the end of course).My favorite part has to be when the lights flicker and the girl references the execution, LolWish they had concluded with the cop and the psych but again, decent film.
