Highly Overrated But Still Good

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

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This movie had to be made by liftime television for women, it just had that type of feel of one of their movies, i think it had some of the same actos too. It was pretty bad all around, if this was supposedly based on some true story I'm pretty sure it didn't go down the way it was portrayed in this film. If it did, then that lady's kid is one stupid child. I mean, what kid goes down into a flooded basement and just sits down and plays in the water? Then just sits there and doesn't move when a hose is coming for him. Stupid. And the guy that played the father had to be the weakest human being on the planet for not being able to break through a door with a huge ax and pick, yet he was able to dig a huge whole to uncover the graves buried in the backyard - oh thats right, did I mention this is a rip off of poltergiest? Its entertaining, thats true, not scary and I wouldn't mind any of these actors being killed by the ghosts in the movie but undortantly it didn't happen

I'm amazed to see how low this movie scores in the IMDB rating (currently 4.3), it is a very good movie; it's like a light version of Poltergeist in which the main character is taken for crazy when she speaks about the paranormal things occurring at her home.The tension gets higher and higher until the last moment. Best of all, it's based on true eventsI certainly recommend this movie

I loved this movie. it was filmed 4 houses down from me, in my friend sean's house! i loved meeting the cast! my friends were all in it! like the boys playing with water guns and the girls roller'blading! i was even walking on the street in one scene! The orchard is not there anymore! now there is a much larger neighborhood connected to it! and we don't actually live on a family cemetary!(thank god!) if you have questions, please e-mail me!

I thought that the performance of all of the actors, especially Sharon Lawrence. It really kept you on the edge of your seat. There was definitely not a dull moment throughout the entire movie. If you haven't seen this, then i suggest that you find some way to find where it will be shown.
