About this movie

This Halloween a group of high schoolers are partying in an old, abandoned house that is supposedly haunted by an evil witch. The fun comes to a grinding halt when the revelers are trapped inside. What started out as a dare becomes seriously scary, and trying to escape only makes it worse. Will they be able to find the secrets hidden in the house, or will they all meet their fate before the night ends?

This movie is to practicing witches what Black Face makeup is to African Americans. If this movie is ok to make, capitalizing on demonizing a very real religion, why isn't there a movie like this about other religions? Follow the logic; movies like this and others (like those that portray hunting witches) are awful. For example, if someone made a movie called "Joe the Jew Hunter" everyone would be screaming about it being inappropriate...but apparently it's ok to do it to practicing witches, a religion practiced predominantly by women. I shouldn't be surprised, given this country's propensity for victimizing women in the open. This will likely get flagged by some insipid moron that reads the words "Jew" and "black face" and doesn't comprehend the point I was attempting to make by comparison. So read closely: Victimizing. Members. Of. Any. Religion. Is. Wrong. Period.

It was pretty good, worth a watch if you are looking for a decent haunted house flick. Acting was ok, cinematography was fine, weakest point was the writing, way too often did we go into the screams and pleads for help.

Could not be more formulaic if it tried . The standard group of teens , the jock, the token black kid , the nerd, the pretty girls. Oh..and don't forget to split up and check out the noise in the basement !
