It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This isn't a awful scary movie but it's still pretty darn bad. The whole movie just didn't flow very well and just comes off random a lot of times with it's events. The pop up scares are just bunch of cheap shots in this and the only scary thing is the design of the ghost. The ghost actually look pretty scary but that is far as that goes. It seems they didn't know what direction to go with this and it just seemed all over the place. The horror elements isn't anything new and sometimes comes off funny than actually scary and they didn't intentionally try to go in a humorous direction. The whole premise is just plain stupid and silly than actually scare you can't help but roll your eyes. It seemed like they were just making it up as they went and didn't think things through in creating one story that would work. The whole movie just comes off as one big mess than a legit horror flick. There is just a lot to this movie that just doesn't make any sense. Not many but there were few scenes that was entertaining somewhat since it's over the top silly. Especially near the end with the ghost battle. Overall this is more of a ridiculous and humorous flick than scary, it isn't a super awful horror movie but it's pretty close. I give it a 3.9 because the silly parts were at least somewhat entertaining.3.9/10

Well I was expecting worse, but that doesn't stop this entry (out of the 'Eight Films to Die For' collection) from just being an accommodatingly so-so effort in the paranormal field. Going against it was that the story was so telegraphed and formulaic, which led to many dull passages and hot air build ups. The idea is fine (which has some drunken young adults who were college buds disturbing the peace of the dead when reading out some card they find at their deceased friend's grave, while dancing on their graves. Now they're haunted by those spirits, and race against time with the help of a parapsychologist to end the curse before they take their lives), but the situation's progression is thinly stale and the execution is all flash, but colorlessly achieved. It's subtle build up kind of works when they encounter their unusual ghostly shenanigans, though it grows a bit tired… however the last half hour doesn't work with its hysterical charge and overblown special effects. I thought the FX was well used during stages when it was focusing on the spirits, where the images of their sunken faces and flowing movements were effectively creepy. The performances by Dominic Purcell, Clare Kramer, Marcus Thomas, Josie Maran, Tchéky Karyo and Megahn Perry stand-up, if a little black and white. Director Mike Mendez overdone style etches its way in and takes away from the suspense, where he demonstrates a drearily cold atmosphere and lasting visuals caught by expansive photography. A ho-hum low-budget supernatural thriller.

I wouldn't pay to see this movie, but I watched it on TV. By the way I loved the comment someone made here that only blonde women tend to live in horror movies even when the dark haired girls are smarter or something. There is apparently a Nazi plot, hey that would make a good horror movie.The acting was O.K. and they had a better cast than I would have thought for your basic cheesy horror crap movie like this one. I guess Kramer and Keryio (or however you spell it) needed the work, but hey that is o.k. too. A lot of good actors have done their fair share of crap when their star fell a bit (Sean Connery did the horrifically bad "Highlander II" and HE has an Oscar). Don't forget Keryio was in the original Luc Besson film "La Femme Nikita".Really Truly terrifying movies are few and far between so I don't expect much just some halfway decent entertainment and anyway this one is better than stinkers like "Unrest" where they get wrong which continent the evil Aztecs were supposed to live on or "Darkness Falls" with the Evil Tooth Fairy villainess.Someone here thought it was crazy that the "bad" people would be buried together in one part of the cemetery, but, historically Catholic/Church of England cemeteries often excluded those who died outside of a state of grace to be buried on holy ground so I guess I don't have a problem with the concept of "undesirables" being buried together in a special non-blessed part of the cemetery. Concepts like those are hard for our modern sense of fair-play to understand but I believe suicides are still buried in a special non-sanctified part of some cemeteries.If people are going to object to something in a movie, perhaps they should know their history before doing so, in this case, the writer was correct. Anyhoo, not horrible, but just the same I wouldn't pay to see this.

**SPOILERS** After the funeral of a man three of his buddies--Harris (Dominic Purcell), Kira (Josie Maren) and Sid (Marcus Thomas)--get drunk and dance on some graves in a graveyard late at night. It turns out they unwittingly resurrected some evil ghosts who go after the people who disturbed them.This was barely released back in 2006 but it actually isn't half bad. The bad points are: the movie has those stupid jump scares; some of the acting is pretty bad; it has a totally pointless beginning (which the director rightly protested) and a frustrating ending. The good: there are likable characters; there's some good acting; the story sounds far-fetched but they put it across and it has some VERY scary moments. The ghosts aren't actually even seen till the end and believe me--they are frightening! There are three horrific standouts here: the first view of the ghost in Harris' bed, a sequence in a graveyard halfway through and the all out assault at the end. The special effects are excellent and it truly scared me--there aren't many films I can say that about! Some bad acting by Purcell (who can be good) lessens the full effect but everybody else is pretty good (especially Clare Kramer as Harris' wife). So a good strong ghost movie. Turn off all the lights and pop this into the DVD player! I give it a 7.
