Six people are brought together at the funeral of a childhood friend. What they discover reawakens repressed childhood traumas and leads them on a journey through their long abandoned childhood home: a home with a terrible secret and a mysterious dead girl who will lead them to their strange fates.A slow, predictable ghost story really that's a lot like Session 9 meets The Gravedancers (from last year's After Dark Horrorfest). At least there are a several good acting performances, lead by Dina Meyer, who does a really good job of giving the film some weight with a likable, believable chracter. Unfortunately, that's about all the good I found really as it's short on scares, gore and plot. Traci Lord's bad acting (and over-acting) tries to even out all the good acting some of the other's do also.
It's a good setting with a creepy atmosphere, and that's probably what reminds me of Session 9 so much, it's just that they don't do much with it as far as building suspense or providing scares. The plot drags along and is dialogue heavy, which tends to get boring since the mystery or twist is pretty see-thru from the beginning for any fan who's seen this type of movie.
4/10
