This is another simple horror story that works well. Once again, I don’t see why horror movies try to do too much and end up doing it poorly instead of focusing on one thing and owning it.<\/p>\n

We have the Asher family: Emily and Alan along with their kids Evan, Sara, and Anita, and they move into this house that has a bad reputation because some say it’s cursed, some just are spooked because Matthew Morello died there recently. His parents were both doctors; Janet and Franklin. Through flashbacks we get the full story on Matthew’s death. Finally, they have Sam and her drunk, abusive father as neighbors.<\/p>\n

So Sam comes off like she don’t need any help, and Evan  is supposedly socially awkward, but I found him quite outgoing actually. He tries to be nice, so she takes advantage of this. Now I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger, BUT she ain’t messing with no broke……broke….what’s that word I am looking for? Oh well.  All I can say is that I could sniff out the whole thing very early on. Not that that is a bad thing. Every teenage boy should be forced to watch this film as a lesson. That’s all I will say.<\/p>\n

\"sarah-asher-2\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

The acting was fine. The parents and Mrs. Morello, even Sam and Evan, everybody did their job very nicely. Visually, I thought it was creppy at times, and I liked it. I don’t have any major complaints. I will go so far as to say that I would like to buy this one.<\/p>\n

Final Rating – 6.0 because it really delivered on every aspect that it was meant to. Anything 6 or higher for horror is actually a huge compliment because so much has been done or overdone. They took a subject that has been tackled, a cursed house, added their own backstory, and simply delivered. Kudos to them.<\/p>\n
