Review

So the just of the film is that these young students had to spend a holiday at (yes) this old creepy house with a secret back bit that you see the dog run by just a few minutes in. It’s not as ‘blair witchy’ as I thought it would be but the spanish have a knack for knocking out good flicks (check out REC and their sequels).

The build up increases the tension but sometimes it just doesn’t check out. I’m still trying to figure out if the Well they find is a real one or not.

They go walkabout in the forest out the back but guess what? One of them gets lost but half of the character know he’s dead and they didn’t think of telling each other.

The outdoor footage is quite creepy at times and reminds me of ‘The Last Broadcast’ a bit.

The last half an hour has them running around shouting each others names in the maze scene, good night-vision work but it does tend to drag on a bit.

Good for a rental I’d say but a purchase if it’s a good price.
