| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Scary (Sort of)! |
| Eric and Jenni Whitlock are newlyweds, moving into the home that Eric shared with his recently deceased wife Mary. Jenni has issues that stem from seeing her parents drown, but I suspicion that Jenni has a lot more issues than just that. After all, who else saw the bouncing skull?
Jenni (and we) get to see the skull in various places on the property. We also get to see other eerie things happening, all supposedly caused by deceased wife Mary. However, if you pay attention and use a little deductive reasoning, you can figure out much of what is going on long before the movie reveals what is happening - except for the supernatural parts, of course. I thought the director plotted this movie well. The plot is borrowed from other films that rely less on the supernatural aspects of the plot, but this film also uses those supernatural aspects to create an ending that varies from other, similar films. I am unable to point to a place in the movie where I was frightened, but there are a couple of scenes that I thought were a little spooky. The picture and sound were reasonably good, though I am unable to tell whether they have been restored using the best available modern standards. I suspect not. This movie tries very hard to take itself seriously, and other than the campy beginning (if you are frightened to death by the movie they have a coffin reserved for you) the movie is played as a reasonably straightforward horror story. If you like movies that use a supposedly haunted house and combine supernatural and natural aspects in the plot, then you may enjoy this movie. A couple of things moderately surprised me enough to give this film a mild recommendation for those viewers who like movies of this type. Good luck! |
