Director Tom Elkins has created a cleverly-filmed masterpiece set in the backwoods of Georgia. A family who has moved into a vacant cabin in the woods is visited by ghosts from the Civil War era who were mistreated by a previous landowner. The story takes many twists through history as we learn of the past misdeeds. The drama builds from the first scene in which the mother is tormented by her own ghosts. The combination of excellent cinematography, powerful editing, and brillant soundtrack keeps the viewer on edge throughout the last 2/3rds of the movie. Well acted by fairly unknown actors, the performance by Abigail Spencer as the mother is worthy of note. Her struggles with her own "gift" while trying to protect her family keeps the tension high. I would highly recommend this movie to people who enjoy suspenseful paranormal dramas.
Pros well paced, great story

Very disappointing

I now know why it is rated PG. It was boring. Very few special effects and even fewer battle scenes. I was frustrated that the Death Eaters were allowed to leave Hogwarts without a fight.
More time could have been spent searching for the identity of the Half-Blood Prince and less time showing Ron and Lavender making out.
Most of the actors were very single dimensional. Very little energy or excitement. No fiery outbursts that we expect from Hermione; only tears for Ron. Even the teachers were dull. After 5 movies, I expect to see better acting from these actors.
Overall, I thought the movie was a dud and a waste of my money.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
