Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

jlthornb51 An average, run-of-the-mill ghost story that neither succeeds or fails and only captures the imagination a few times. Director Colin Theys never really pulls the elements of the story together and fashions anything substantial from them. The cast is less than adequate for the most part with the stunning exception of the wonderful Geraldine Hughes. She gives a superb performance and gives the proceedings a touch of class. However, she isn't in enough scenes to rescue the movie from the oblivion to which it's destined to disappear. Due to the presence of Hughes, the film deserves 3 stars more than the 4 it would ordinarily receive on its own merits.

freecontractor This movie almost made my veins pop at least twelve times in the duration of watching it. The actions and decisions made by the characters more than once made me ask the following questions: a) What is he doing? b) Why would you run there, straight into the lion's mouth when there's a whole open country around you? c) Why do the MC has such a romantic notion on ghosts? d) Why is the MC so annoyingly naive? e) Despite there being a whole lot of open country, 3 cars and a good road, your only method of escape is to run inside the vicinity of the farmhouse? f) How is that logical or even follow basic human behaviour?And what's with everyone's obsession with picking up crow's feathers? They're crow's feather, not exactly rare like a pheonix's feather. One would simply ignore it, won't they?Escuse me? You have vengeful ghosts trapped in limbo trying to kill you and crucify you, so you choose to summon another vengeful ghost to help you? What kind of reasoning is that? Where is your justification? Did the screenwriter drank too much whiskey and forgot to include that one part?Unlike the other commentors, I have no problem with the ending. It's the road towards that ending which caused me to rage. All in all, it's a fine movie to watch with your family and a popcorn in hand on Friday nights, as long as you don't pay attention to it.

Woodyanders Johnny Petrie (a solid and likable performance by Jesse James) learns on his 18th birthday that he was adopted after he inherits a rundown farm in Maine. Eager to start life afresh, Johnny leaves home to start over in this "new" dwelling. However, Johnny soon discovers that the house, which was been abandoned for 18 years, harbors a horrifying history about the deaths of his natural family. Director Colin Theys, working from a compact and compelling story by John Doolan, relates the engrossing story at a steady pace, makes the most out of the decrepit farmhouse location, delivers a few cool bits of grisly gore, and maintains a pleasingly spooky atmosphere throughout. The sound acting by the able cast helps a lot: Magda Apanowicz as sassy, but enigmatic squatter Emma, Geraldine Hughes as Jesse's stern and overbearing mother Mary, Noah Fleiss as pesky local bully Mack, and Jaiden Kane as smooth real estate agent Andrew Judson. Moreover, it's nice to see Bill Moseley in a welcome and refreshing change of pace good guy role as the helpful Sheriff Depford. Adrian Correia's slick and dynamic cinematography gives the picture a pleasing polished look. The shivery score by Jonathan Bartz and Matthew Llewellynn hits the spine-tingling spot. A worthwhile fright feature.

Horrific_Jungle I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and must admit I tend to be a bit jaded when it comes to some of the newer horror (esp. made for TV) movies. Dead Souls has a good, solid plot and it moved right along in the right direction. The dialogue was well done, the acting great. The eerie atmosphere of the old farm was excellent. I loved this movie because I felt something for the main character, for what he was experiencing, which must have been terrifying. The connection to Osiris was well researched. Michael Laimo, the author of the novel 'Dead Souls' upon which this movie is based, is one of my all-time favorite writers and I'm looking forward to his next book and, I hope, another movie adaption. Great job, Michael, the actors, actresses, director and film crew (make-up artists did an outstanding job as well). Thank you all for helping make this Halloween extra scary.
