    I thought it was a great haunting story.

    Slightly above average ghost story that other than one rather painfully gory scene could probably pass for a Lifetime Channel movie.
    Disappointing coming from Eric Red who gave us Near Dark, the original The Hitcher and Body Parts but it's still more entertaining than that J-hor...( read more)ror remake stuff.

    Besides the fact that it wasn't at all scary, and the the ending was one of the cheesiest things I've even seen a big star like Famke Janssen associate with, it could have been worse. To be honest, the beginning of the movie was pretty promising if it had stayed NOT a horror mov...( read more)ie. The prospect of a beautiful woman stuck in her house for a year had all kinds of promise. Then 'scary' stuff started happening, which ultimately failed. The only cool things I can say about that are the fact that she was so badass about not being a little wuss about it. Most heroines in distress in this situation would have freaked out the whole time, but she was standing up to the ghost which was refreshing. The only other cool part is the brutal beating of her grocery-boy lover.

    Nice little horror film here from the man who wrote the hitcher way back 1986.Few good scare and one gross out sence and a well rounded movie with a fine performance from Famke janssen who had to carry the movie on her own.Worth cheaking out!!!

    "Till Death Do Us Part Wasn't Enough"

    The movie had potential but as it goes on and the story unfolds, it tends to be a bit tiresome and the scares and the chills just wasn't there. The supposed ghost of the husband of Famke's character, Marnie didn't deliver the thrills. I've seen much more scarier things in real life than a CGI concocted vague image of some rotten dude trying to kill his wife. Another thing that seemed a bit odd was the premise of a ghost that can physically hurt and in Ed Westwick's case, kill a human being. Now, I'm not into the whole supernatural thing but I'm pretty sure ghosts can't do that. They're dead, they can't kill people when they're dead, that's just silly. Famke Janssen, from a big-budgeted film X-Men playing an iconic comic book character has been reduced to playing battered housewives in low budgeted horror movies. Such a shame really.

    Famke Janssen stars as Marty, who's parolled on house arrest for the murder of her husband after serving a few years, guess who's ghost is still around waiting for some supernatural type revenge? Bobby Canavale, who was awesome in The Station Agent, plays the detevtive charged wi...( read more)th making sure she does as she's meant to. A taut horror film with some cliches, sure, but a lot of energy and a sense of dread plus two strong performances from the leads, and a few smart things from the script make this much more unique.

    A woman is put on house arrest for killing her husband in self defence. At the begining it shows her getting her ankle bracket on. An asshole cop gives her hell and in response she mentions " if you would have taken my calls seriously he wouldn't be dead!" The cop said she didn't...( read more) have to kill his partner! She keeps hearing sounds in her house that she can't explain. When she goes down stairs, a bum comes out of the shadows and she almost stabs him! He says he snuck in the window in her basement while she was gone. This is a great movie. It does have a few boring moments. But it does make up for it with all the ghost effects!

    This movie was on the edge. I recommend you watch it but not alone!
  • November 8, 2009
    I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick. It was actually a pretty cool flick. I liked the concept of house arrest in the house you committed a murder in. The ghost in the story is so damn sadistic. Check it out late night.

    Creepy. I jumped several times. It got me when I let my guards down.
