I will start off by saying that 1) I am a horror fan, not a completely devoted horror groupie, but I love them nonetheless, and 2) I am someone who RARELY gets scared after watching "horror" films. They just don't scare me.
However, something about this movie really disturbed me. The first time I watched it was about a year ago and since then I cannot get it out of my head. I want to watch it again soon, but cannot muster up the courage to do so.
Obviously the film is not completely perfect, but some details could have been looked over twice, such as the numerous plot holes (I won't go into explaining all of them here, but you can find them on the boards, I would suggest the post titled "100 things I learned from 100 feet"). Plus, the ending seemed rush and is poorly edited, and the CG ghost is horrible, pathetic... just not believable (how do you make a ghost believable though?) Most viewers would say there needs to be more blood, a higher "body count," but the one brutal murder in this film is one of the most disturbing I have seen in years.. I think about it on a frequent basis.
I think the reason the film stuck with me is because beyond it just being a horror film, it dealt a lot with the characters different issues and emotions.
If you go into watching this movie with little to no expectations, you will enjoy it. It is, clearly, low-budget, and what you see is definitely what you get with 10 mil. Also... why do viewers have to over analyze everything in a film and feel every thing needs justification? Just relax and roll with the punches. The first time I watched this film I had no expectations, and didn't even catch most of the plot holes until I came to the IMDb boards.
I give it a 7/10. This film is not getting the credit it deserves from some reviewers.
