Story: On the aftermath of a horrific massacre that happen years before, five college students, brutally murdered inside a decrepit, abandoned home. Detective Mark Lewis and the police departments psychologist, Dr. Elizabeth Klein, question one of the few survivors, who explains they were amateur ghost hunters seeking out paranormal phenomenon at the abandoned house, believed to be haunted. Only what started out as a harmless activity turned into something truly terrifying, and the suspect claims the responsibility doesn't lie with any of the inhabitants but with the house itself.

Likes : I will admit this film kept me on my toes, that actual dosent normal happen with me when it come to horror film's , as most of them are predictable at best sometime but this im actual impressed with the director direction in this film.
He's actual done something right here in keep the main plot of the film until the very end, giving the audience the scary unpredictable moments which give the twist in the film perfect.
Although this film dose have a flaw, it manages to actual keep the whole film very atmospheric that keep the audience on edge all the way though so the when you actual get the jump moments & yes there are moment that will make you jump out of your skin, it give a very psychological feel.
This is not all like your normal found footage type film its more of a present & past type of film where we see the story unfold from the moments when the group were in the house to after when the police are investigating. Its a great balance of scene that switching between the two.
Psychological side of this film is extremely frighten as some moments really dose make you jump they have use the cheap scare tactics that most horror use to day which was an added bonus to the film, because the jump moment were actual genuine scary moments.
The acting in this film is brilliantly done , perfect performance from all the cast of this film, showing believable characters in a real situation. I don't believe this is a 5 out of 10 film that is a little unfair & underrated for this film because from what ive seen of this film this is a pretty good psychological horror film that worth check out.

Dislikes : The only flaw in this film i kind of found is that it felt like part of this film were missing as if these part were take out by the director because it would leave the film to long but i feel if these part were taken out they should have been left in as it feel the film had been cut & re-edited.

Overall : very frightening, genuine frightening jump moments, dark & atmospheric

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.1 out of 10 for concept.
