Plagiarism at it's worst

Rating: 5/10 (9 June 2011)

Whilst i quite like movies like this, the supernatural chiller, as opposed to the all out gore and yuckfest that is the Saw movies et al I'm surprised this movie ever got the green light to go ahead and get made. A blatant rip off of Poltergeist and not a very good one at that. The only difference and the only reason i can think of that it got made at all was that it didn't have anything to do with Native American burial grounds....although i wouldn't be surprised if they made an appearance in the obligatory sequel. The movie sustained some kind of tension but that tension is rather to do with my annoyance at the alarmingly similar set pieces that recreate Poltergeists. I don't want to give anything away to anyone who hasn't watched this more to warm them that what they are about to watch is by no means original and by no means a 10/10 film. Do yourself a favour and watch the best movie of this kind and rent/download/borrow or steal Poltergeist.
I give this film a 5 star rating based on the amount of actual jumpy bits but you see them coming a mile off so don't worry.
