The 411:

Sometimes the mistakes of someone else's past can come back to haunt you. That is what happens when Samantha's brother drowns at the beginning of the movie. The movie is creepy in a non-creepy way.  My father always told me don't be afraid of the dead be afraid of the living for they are much scarier and he was right.

Samantha Isler/Jake does her best to act aloof in her serious scowl and 70's clothing but for a girl who lost her brother and obviously loves him enough to want him back from the dead I was confused by her bored, trusting innocence.  I did however enjoy the slow roll out of the story of the past. It definitely made things interesting.  For some reason Cher's Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves kept running through my head through the movie.

I liked the 70s vibe and the unscary horror film that reminded me that ghosts can't hurt us but the past of our relatives just might.

Worth the watch!
