Boring

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Eveleigh (Isla Fisher) Was in a car accident and got a nasty bump on the head and killed an infant. It wasn't her fault, or so everyone claims. Her husband David (Anson Mount) manages to get own vineyard and her pregnant. The neighbors feel like something out of ROSEMARY'S BABY. She thinks the neighbor is producing meth, but he claims it is medicinal olive oil, something my aromatherapist swears by. The old house also has a history. Eveleigh has visions and hears things too which they didn't work into the title. This starts off as your typical boring poltergeist haunting and then at 54 minutes into the film, when you have your first death, things get interesting.Cast includes Eva Longoria, Jim Parsons and Gillian Jacobs.Guide: No f-bombs. Brief sex. No nudity.

Everyone is so quiet and soft-spoken throughout the movie, but whenever there's a jump-scare (and there's lots of them) they are so loud they make you jump out of your seat. I couldn't watch this in the end without deafening myself and waking the neighbours because I had to turn the volume up high to hear the cast speaking and then the speakers would get blasted out by bangs and screams. I like jump scares but this was just annoying.

A man and his wife move into a new house. She's a pregnant fashion designer who sees strange things. He's a vintner who doesn't believe her. Now follows an example how the dialogues in this movie go down: "I'm not crazy" - "I know"; " You don't believe me" - "Yes, I do". "Did you saw this?" - "No"; "I'm not crazy" - "I know". Groundbreaking. If it would contain a little bit of humor then one could've thought that this is a spoof on generic horror movies. But it doesn't and it isn't. The producers are dead serious about their horror-business. The movie is so bland that it even manages to mess up the - usually fail-safe - art of the jump scare, the last and mostly only resource of horror in movies like this. Then there are the actors mostly known for their roles in sitcoms, with little screen time that are completely out of place and randomly appear during the movie to ensure that the viewer knows he's in a movie and that under no circumstances things like an atmosphere can come up (eg. Jim Parson as Doctor, what the f*ck). Not to mention that the actual main characters are unlikable as f*ck. It says a lot when the only person you care about in a movie is an unborn baby. The only good thing about this piece of art is the "plot twist" which is ironically completely ripped-off from another movie. Easily the worst horror movie I've seen in the past years.

After an accident Eveleigh is left with some mental scars. One year later she's pregnant and she joins her husband in to a vineyard and their new house. When she starts having some visions she finds hard to find someone to believe her.That's basically the plot without revealing too much. One thing I can say about this movie, it's not a great movie, it's not a masterpiece but it's a movie that keeps you interest in the story and is nice to see. When I see a movie I like to be grateful on the end that my time or money were not lost, and in this case I can say that it was time well spend and I enjoy the movie even if some parts are thriller clichés , but on the end it's a good movie to see.
