Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

A note to anybody who has read the book: This is not a page for page movie version of the book. It is only loosely based on the book. That being said, I actually enjoyed this movie. It kept to the book (which was awesome) just enough to give a sense of familiarity, yet was original enough in it's own right that it still gave a few surprises. I actually liked the movie ending a lot better than the book ending, because it actually wrapped things up quite nicely. Even though the acting wasn't spot on, the actors still gave a decent representation of the book characters, especially Mr. Peretti. His performance as a crazy scientist was over the top and brilliant. For anybody watching this expecting a horror movie, you might be a little disappointed. There are a few "jump scenes", bit overall it's a pretty family friendly movie. So overall I recommend this movie.

This movie can be looked at in many different ways, so I'll separate my opinions based on what aspects of the movie I paid attention to.First off, in it's horror/action aspects, it was amazingly average, possibly slightly below average. The little hangman symbols in the lockers, typical painful forced-down-your-throat foreshadowing. The weird kid who you know from the start is going to be the crazy villain in the end, you can see it all coming from miles away.What made it drop below average was the spiders...Seriously. If I recall correctly, they were trying to say that Brown Recluse spiders were being planted by the sociopath kid to attack the kids who bully people, and then they say that they were bred to be larger and deadlier...And when they show the spiders, they're these huge tarantula things! Brown Recluses are small, fairly smooth-looking, very long-legged spiders, but I guess you can't expect the film makers to understand evolution and breeding based on the film's themes.As for the "christian themes", they felt shoe-horned in. There's very little more to say about that, seeing the movie is the best way to understand this. It did, however, make the movie feel more hokey and ridiculous.Really, the only reason I watched this movie was that it was filmed primarily at a high school which I live about a mile away from, and it's kinda cool to be able to look at something so local that's in a big (using this word loosely) motion picture.

excellent!!!!!!!! this is the best Christian film there is. it is full of action, violence and terror. however it is completely clean. the film takes place in a high school. there's a legend called hangmans curse. the legend is that a boy that hated life killed himself and his ghost haunts that high school looking to kill each and every person who made life miserable. this film is based off the Frank Peretti Christian horror novel. it dosen't follow the book very well however it is like there own take on the story. this film cant do to bad of justice to the book because author Frank Peretti stared in the film. the film is a great Christian film to show to a teenage youth group. this is definitely fox faith's best film.

This movie was the worst. I watched it with an open mind and witnessed some of most awful acting ever. The story was just OK, but I couldn't get into it with the crappy acting. I would recommend renting this movie and throwing it away, maybe you could save some poor soul from renting it and wasting their time watching it. The main female character attempts to use the "trendy lingo" and fails miserably. She says things like "oh snap". I could definitely see this movie played on the Disney channel in the future. If it was possible to give it less than one star I would. The best way to summarize this movie would be a mix between Arachnophobia and not another teen movie. Not surprising that the highest percentage of high votes for this film came from teen girls.
