Snoozer

Rating: 1/10 (13 October 2012)

If you want to rent this movie - i would recommend seeing poltergeist instead. The premise and concept is the same as poltergeist although a little cheesier. If you have previously seen poltergeist you would be extremely disappointed in this movie.
The acting is somewhat bland and the storyline is overly predictable. The special effects were OK at best, which is faint praise for the amount they spent to develop this film. I would have expected much better than the few parlor tricks and simple props they used in the movie.
The majority of the audience left well before the movie was over. I was one of the few people in the theater to sit it out (my date wanted to stay). Most patrons left and went into a different movie (one of the benefits of seeing a bad movie at a multi-plex).
I am puzzled by the average/slightly above average reviews. My only explanation is most of the reviewers must not have seen poltergeist. I realize there are few, if any, new ideas in today's movies. This movie is just another unoriginal flick trying to put a slightly different spin on an older story. Your red-box dollar is better applied to renting poltergeist.
