Storyline

Michael left home when he was a teenager and never looked back. Now, after the death of his sister, Chloe, he's returning home with his fiancee Juliette and his angst ridden nephew Brandon. On arrival, they realize that home isn't exactly what it used to be. With high walls surrounding the house and security cameras in every nook and cranny it's more of a military compound than anything else. Enter Gary, Michael's estranged father who, while happy to be reunited with his son and grandson, seems more distracted by other things. As the strange family reunion commences, an uninvited guest shows up and we learn bits and pieces about the real reason behind Chloe's death and why Brandon is so closed off from Michael. This fractured family will have to come together to fight the ghosts of their pasts and make it out alive!—Anonymous



Short Review

Nowhere in the description does it say anything about supernatural ghosts or entities. Those movies are fine BUT I was looking forward to the movie that was described.With that known and out of the way, this is a slow build up of tension that doesn't start to release until about 60 minutes into this 90 minute film. In the end I found the acting to be good but the story just too slow given the payoff in the end. It felt like a rejected episode of Supernatural minus the Winchesters when all was said and done.
