Really Dumb Characters
14 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Literally dumb. The daughter is an absolute brat. The mother was, OMG, just...a moron.

I put this movie on because I knew it would be awful and I wanted something I wouldn't have to focus on so at first I could only hear was the mother's voice and she sounded dumb, naive, and clueless and I'm being kind so my comment will be posted!

Anyway, the actress playing the daughter had the most annoying voice. Who talks like that? Her vocal intonations were grating!

Okay, getting to the story. Mom is divorced or separated and buys a house which apparently was built by the seller's grandfather. He suddenly pops up and makes a point to tell her how much he loves the house and she's living in his house. Tells her often. She suspects nothing.

Weird things start happening...sounds and funiture being moved. Mom never suspects the original owner.

Nope.

Her, also dumb, friend tells her it must be ghosts. Yes, she said it must be ghosts, but not the creepy guy who she knows about. But ghosts.

Finally, the daughter's two braincells rub against each other and she finally suspects him and does a Google search.

Mom finds a camera on a tree and believes the owner (still lurking about) that it doesn't work and hasn't been spying on her.

Now you have a teenage daughter. Stuff is being moved around in the middle of the night and this guy keeps showing up and you do nothing. Don't call the cops. Nothing. Just pooh pooh everything.

Not only that, you hear sounds outside your house and don't call the cops, you open your door to check it out. See a man in the shadows, don't scream, run back inside, bolt your door. Nope, you stand there waiting to be attacked. It's the abusive ex. Don't even suspect him.

Then after the daughter tells you, he called you a name and you found a creepy picture, you ask the creepy owner, should I call the cops? Nope, you don't. Just sit with the creep drinking.

Her friend goes missing after telling her she's coming over. Creepy guy is right there inside her house while she's talking to the cops.

The cop, apparently a genius, but maybe not, first suspects someone is getting in, but believes creepy guy saying the daughter is making it up. Not a husband or even a dad.

I'm up to the point Ave waiting to see the the creeps conversation clues in the cop.... He finds creepy guy's lair and picks up a cup with his bare hands. Who wrote this crap?!

The script is awful, so's the dialogue. Everything else, sound design, cinematography is okay.

I give this 3 stars for being so bad you actually keep watching to see how bad it'll get!

At one point a character says the word, "brainless".

Yep that sums up this heaping hot pile!
