Best movie ever!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I had never heard of this film when i watched it last night on sky..now i wish it had stayed that way.Any film director or writers wanting to venture into the "old dark house with a past" subject has to make it so good it will blow your socks off not leave you feeling like you have stepped in a cowpatBoring bland characters (talking off which, i love the way the drug dealer bloke turns up and tells complete strangers all about himself being a drug peddler...you know it makes sense)The director thought it would be a good idea to have a hall and stair case straight out of a theatre stage which was way to big compared to the outside of the house. Also if you like old clocks don't bother finding the antique roadshow just watch this film because it is padded endlessly with shots of a clock face.Sloppy editing,pointless scenes and the first hour of complete boredom are all in the mix here.....enjoy!

Everything that's wrong with this pic has been covered already. I was reserving judgement until about eight seconds into the dire opening theme music & credits and it all went progressively downhill from there.I started to notice little things like....their suitcases/packs were carried about in the opening scenes like they were empty or in the packs case stuffed with bubblewrap. I know it's a minor thing but if they can't get that right what chance the rest of the film?. The set, as mentioned, looked as if it had soaked up most of the budget but still looked like it was designed and built by Dan Dan the Am Dram Man. The script was dire, the acting was passable in places but nothing special and the plot flaws and general credibility of some of the scenes lacked commonsense. Now I know students aren't the tidiest of creatures and I was one once but a badly flooded bathroom is a pretty serious issue in terms of damage to electrics and rooms below as well as general mopping up - not in this film. How some people rated this with more than two stars is beyond me. What would they give a really excellent exceptional movie?. As for Billie Piper...if this was a springboard into serious acting then I'd seriously revive the 'pop' career.

Tedious, pointless, amateurish British made mess of a movie that has nothing going for it, and that includes it's so called "star" Billie Piper.The former pop star turned actress here appearing " pre Dr Who"where she did find some success as Dr Who's sidekick, but in " spirit trap" given her first starring role or more tellingly her only cinema "starring role" she certainly does not light up the screen in anyway.She in fact, is easily overshadowed in sexiness by Emma Catherwood anyway and since this film she has gone to mostly TV work,which i do not wish to pass judgement on as i have not seen any of it.I can however pass judgement on "spirit trap" and the verdict is awful.

I thought this film was going to be pretty good. When the film first began it had a good starting scene the old spooky type look which i thought was going to be some sort of plot, but no. For me with the old house reminded me of The house on the haunted hill, not half as good though, I thought terrible performances from every actor and actress 1 of the worst films I have seen made like many other British horrors lets face it we just cant pull off a good movie here in the UK. Billie Piper just cannot act to save her life I've seen better actors in soaps.I expected much much more from this thumbs down from me.I wouldn't waste anybodies time trying to entertain them with this I rate it an awful 3 out of 10.
