After we stormed out of Dragonball cursing in rage at this atrocity, it came to our attention that we still needed to watch a movie. The next option was to go somewhere and discuss how bad Dragonball was, which would have probably ended in someone getting arrested due to setting the movie theater on fire. The only other movie running at the time was Haunting in CT, which I had heard terrible reviews about it, but we said what the hell, the night's already been shot.
We walked in a little late, so this review is going to be kinda choppy, but, it'll save you the time and money of possibly ever watching this movie. The main jist of the movie is as follows: A family moves to this abandoned home somewhere in the depths of the woods, because its "close" (this place is literally in the middle of no where) to a certain hospital that the family's son needs to attend in order to cure his cancer. Well, turns out that the house was actually a funeral home before it became the abandoned pig sty that it was when they moved in. So naturally, there were creepy pictures all over the place, some spooky music, etc. When the family found out that they were living in a place like this, they did virtually nothing about it, and left their mentally unstable cancerous son living in the basement, right next to a locked door that no one could access. Right there I'm raising a red flag on whether or not anyone in this movie has a legally non- handicapped IQ. So the story goes on, the boy starts seeing things, he can't sleep at night. His mom cries whenever she sees him, his dad turns into a raging drunk, and the whole family starts failing.
More scary visions follow, and the boy starts talking with this reverend who understands what's going on. It turns out the place is haunted by the souls of the people whom where murdered in this house so the mad scientist who used to live there could operate on them. By the way, supposedly this movie is actually based on a true events, a claim which quickly appears to be BS as the movie progresses. So the reverend "cures" the boy from this haunting by taking a pile of human ashy remains that were lying in the house somewhere that were supposedly making the place haunted. Turns out, those ashes were actually what was keeping the house safe from the ghosts and all he did was piss them off. So the boy lights the house on fire, and everything burns to the ground, but somehow he survives and is pulled out of the raging inferno at the last second.
The only thing I found haunting about this movie was that it was almost as bad as the one I had escaped from earlier. It was as if there were ghosts in the movie theather determined to make me sit through garbage movies until I succumbed and became a mindless, garbage movie fan like most others that were in the room at the time. While everyone was screaming and getting all teary eyed at the stupid "startle scare" scenes that kept on replaying, I was trying to stay awake so I didn't fall asleep and have nightmares about turning into said people. If there wasn't a semi- hot co star (and I use the term hot very loosely, as in barely scoring a 6/10), this movie would have been a total shut out.
.5/10.
