    Judging by this sample, and considering I already had the pleasure (as in, a word for something that makes you feel like you're carrying a terminal illness) of watching Death Tunnel, it's safe to conclude that the Booth brothers should really stick to their good old porn years. T...( read more)hat's the only movie industry where it's appropriate for one of the directors to wear a cowboy hat and for both of them to have no direction skills whatsoever. Let's face it, it's doesn't exactly require Polanski material to shout instructions like "Bring the camera here so we can see it from behind", or "Not to the floor, moron, to her face!", or even "Ehr, you guys can go home, I'll hum... I'll shoot this final scene with her."

    Also, and if you're actively interested in these types of phenomena, it's not like you'll find anything tremendously new with this one either.

    That being said - and since this was, in ALL other aspects, a nullity -, the reason why I gave 2 full stars to this waste of film has to do with some interesting footage they were able to gather in their investigation (that is, if you decide to trust it), and because it made me familiar with the Zombie Road case, which was something I had no knowledge of.
    Although there is hardly any merit of the filmmakers in this - they just picked up some footage taken by another person -, it was in fact with Children of the Grave that I heard of it, which allowed me to research it further.

    But, apart from that, zero with a capital "Fuck you for making me waste my time."

    One final word for the soundtrack.
    Made me feel a continuous urge to ripp my ears off with my canines.

    That's how good it was.

    Still, and amazingly enough, it's slightly better than Death Tunnel.

    One of the worst documentaries I've seen in my life, those short scenes with the goth children (see movie poster) that cut through it are awful. Somebody really tried to make something more out of it, but in my eyes he failed.. (Less is more!!!)
    The story in itself is pretty in...( read more)teresting, but I don't know, it just annoyed the **** out of me.

    I LOVE these type of docudramas about ghost & haunted places but this was the 1st 1 I ever found to be boring

    I love this documentary. It is sooo very interesting and sad and I love learning about the paranormal.

    Vaguely interesting film about a couple of specifically haunted areas, where you can expect to see the shadowy figures of children.

    Suffers from some weird editing choices, including the use of an exclamation point at the end of almost any printed sentence, no matter how mundane...( read more) the context.

    Rental?

    Interesting flick. Poorly edited though.
