If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
this movie isn't scary or sad funny nothing this is more of a ghost story then a scary movie i wasn't scared but i wont give it a one because i thought it was good to watch there's only one or two good reviews on this i say its OK but scary film so go rent that or this there are thousands of scary movies though more scary then this like high tension saw and much more and its nothing like the shining this is not a scary movie but if you like old like scary movies that are like this i say you rent it and wacth it and like it but if you like scary movies you can get something eles.rated pg13 for mild language
The Off Season...sounds like what the director was thinking before he started this production because this is not something I would want on my professional resume. In two words...it sucked. It had its comedic moments, Who says Poo-Poo these days? and a drunk guy who seemed to flip some lady a bird for the better part of 10 minutes. Was there nothing else to pitch to the production company? Oh wait the production company probably gave them a budget smaller than the amount I got for milk money in grade school. I can't believe this movie lasted close to two hours since I personally didn't believe there was 32 seconds of useful material in this horrid farce of a movie. I just threw up a little in my mouth. Nope here comes the rest of it I gotta go.
This is a movie where afterwards your gonna want to say, "I want my hour and half back of my life." Kinda thing. I agree with the other people who wrote comments about this the only decent actress is the lead Christina Campanella. Some of the nightmares they showed made me jump only when they popped up out of no where.The back noise was annoying I became distracted with that noise, so I missed most of the dialogue which may have made the movie better or worse not sure.If you want to watch it hope for it to come on TV and watch it there or rent it on NetFlix.
The movie has a horror category.It justifies its horror category via use of dumb dialog, and acting that must be a deliberate spoof,characterization that borders on moronic. The references to the living accommodations were for an apartment but it looked like a motel room.I can't identify one redeeming feature of this movie. If I paid full theater price for this waste of film I would never go to another movie.Watching cartoons would be preferable.I was lucky because the DVD I rented was defective and only about fifty percent of it was viewable. Save your money by not bothering with this piece of junk. Does anyone with movie making knowledge approve of a piece of work before it is released?
