This film is not scary, it's not funny, it's not enjoyable in any way and it takes itself way to seriously for how idiotic it is. Many scenes in it feel like they were written for juvenile audience, but then the film tries to hold on to this thematic connection to an actual horror film which turns it into such a jumbled up mess that it's guarantied that no one will enjoy it. I would name a few of the annoyingly nonsensical scenes here, but then I would have to label this review as containing spoilers and that might make it less likely to save unsuspecting IMDb users from being tricked into wasting their time on this turkey (although maybe that would be a good thing if they then came back here and took down the score a bit). All I want to say is that I have never seen such an obvious example of a compromised message board as here on IMDb for this film. With how not scary, unfunny and boring this film is there is no way that it gets so many glowing reviews, unless you have a hoard of people with some invested interest bombarding the message board. Just don't watch it.

Very confused at the high ratings...there is absolutely nothing original about the story and how its directed...it does painstakingly make attempts at humor that truly falls flat mainly because Morgana O'Reilly is just horrible in this mess...as for horror I am not sure what was horrific other than the standard bumps and creaks and noises and doors opening by themselves.... If you want to watch a nearly 30 year old Woman chain smoke, act like a 14 year old with a snotty attitude and dark snarky moods employing the F word when challenged....THIS is your movie...there is absolutely nothing interesting about the performances in this movie...there is indeed the odd witty retort coming from Kylie's very fastidious Mother but other than that...there is no real humor and using the last part of the show to get the gratuitous blood scenes in does not a horror movie make....the most interesting aspect of this movie are the rare glimpses of the Kiwi Countryside and I have to admit a New Zealand accent is interesting to listen to.....I watch a lot of classic horror and this is one the most boring and over-hyped I have ever seen...how Peter Jackson approved of this is beyond me...maybe he felt an obligation....
