'Once You Believe, You Die'?
This was the tagline of the movie. Based on that and the trailer, I was kind of expecting something more along those lines. Instead we got a completely different movie about kids holding a seance and attracting a spirit who tries to kill them all.
I don't get it. Did they just forget the original premise of the movie, or was that just something they tacked on to the trailer and the poster in the end? Was there something in the movie explaining this that I missed? If that's the case:
- Did the dog believe in ghosts? Is that why he died?
- Why did the ghost follow Ashley Greene? I get that Ben summoned the spirit and all, but his girlfriend wasn't there for that and had no reason to believe in this spirit before it started harassing her.
- Is the little neighbor girl going to die? She knew that the house killed her dog.
I just think that had they gone down that path (kind of like the Hell House/Tulpa episode of Supernatural, for anyone who's seen it) it could have had been great, not just another jump-scare ghost story with a questionable plot.
