This is by far the worst film I have seen in many a year. The acting is more wooden than the tree in the title, the casting is shocking (The son has a posh Southern accent and the daughter a northern accent, plus the Mother must of been about 4 when she had the daughter)and even the sound is something you expect from a home movie you'd see on You've Been Framed. The camera-work is very poor too and over uses different angles and cuts away without need too may times.
Somebody should of been honest with the director at it's first screening and told him not to release this as it will bound to haunt him (more than this film haunted me anyway) in years to come if he really wants a career in film making.
Let my one good deed for 2015 be to warn everybody not to watch this.
I actually created this profile to post this review, YES... It is that bad!

The video quality will be a good indictator - you'll be able to tell that this is not a big budget movie. And maybe something you do not want to watch anyway. That will be up to you. Predictable and a few other flaws - quite a few to be honest. This still might be something for the hardcore horror fan out there.
Not easy to watch and/or follow this tries to make the best of a story that easy to follow if you were to put it nicely. Some shock effects work, there is a bit of nudity and the ending is not half as bad as I expected it to be. Still you can use your time better and do something more productive with it - I'm certain about that.

This was my second failure to bring home a good scary movie for family movie night. So much cliché, from disrespectful children, to potato sacks
Acting was terrible, story was tired, and did I mention that the acting was terrible? Was no research done to try and bolster the attempts to make any of this more believable, was he in a coma, or taking a nap?
The scariest part of this movie, was the fact that at the advertised 90 minute mark it didn't end! It went on for another 3 minutes. Very disappointed, after reading some lengthy reviews that really promoted this as a significant indie shocker. At least I had enough time to do some dishes and laundry.

This was one of the worse films I have ever watched. The acting was truly terrible. I had heard Danielle Lineker boasting about being in the film as she classes herself as an actress. Well.... a 1 minute scene and even that was awful. Pouting and trying to impress. Needs to stick to spending her husbands money. My daughter & her boyfriend also watched it with me and we laughed at how terrible all the actors were in this film. it was definitely a very low budget film, with actors who had never been heard of, and hopefully will never be seen again. The story was just so dross in all respects. I have never seen blind people with black strips of material covering their eye's. Surely could get sun glasses? And the children walking around like scarecrows with sacks covering their heads...What was all that about?
This film has a decent plot but it falls apart because of all the film's other faults. We all love a good spooky tale about witches and ghosts. It's a shame the acting is so bad. It's almost painful to watch and I wasn't able to even finish the film.
I actually got to the climactic ending and turned it off. There are too many "dramatic" pauses where the camera is focused on the blank faces of the characters. There is no sense of "realness" at all--not in the dialogue, not in the actions. Obviously no one can say anything about realism in regards to how to live in a situation with hauntings like this, but there is either a lack of expression or exaggerated over-expression by the actors. The actress who plays the daughter looks older than the one who plays the mother. Characters who are petulant (and I'm not talking about the kid) with absurd lines makes this cringe-worthy. The scares are boring and trite.
Save your time, see another movie.
