You have an uncomfortable feeling that you know which way this film is going 5 minutes into it. A young married couple are driving through torrential rain to their new house. Look out! A figure in the road right ahead of them! The car swerves into a ditch. Instantly the seasoned viewer will guess what's coming. Oh come on, surely not another one of those! You hope you're wrong but as the film progresses it becomes clearer and clearer that you're right. You watch on in grim determination to finish the film but you've seen this a hundred times before, maybe a thousand. Sometimes there are interesting variations on the theme but not here. Perhaps the writer is young, hasn't watched many movies and thinks he's being original rather than following one of the oldest and most tired templates in the screenwriter's book.
I've marked this review as containing spoilers and if you've been watching horror movies for some years then it does. For those newer to the genre I'll say just this. The couple crash their car at the beginning, run to their house which happens to be just up the road and then start seeing spirits and other assorted phenomena. Think about it, guys, you really don't need to be Einstein to figure out what's happened.
3 out of 10. A poor rehash of a theme that was already old when Methuselah was in short pants.
