I've heard many good things about this. So I figured I would go ahead and check it out while it's on Netflix. This is the only credit for writer/director Gerard Johnstone. Also I don't recognize any of the actors here. I hope this is as good as I've heard. Okay that seems like a little bit of humor. New Zealand has some interesting humor style. That was interesting.

Description: Kylie Bucknell is forced to return to the house she grew up in when the court places her on home detention. Her punishment is made all the more unbearable by the fact she has to live there with her mother Miriam - a well-intentioned blabbermouth who's convinced that the house is haunted.

" First Viewing Viewing Date: November 1st Via: Tubi Plot: A young woman is forced to return to her childhood home after being placed under house arrest, where she suspects that something evil may be lurking. Rating: 7.6/10 Why Did I Watch It? This has been on my watchlist for some time. I had intended to watch it during October, and I didn't want to wait until next year."

"  With a previous record of troublemaking, an oft rebellious young woman, Kylie, is sentenced to house arrest in her childhood home. While that may not sound so bad at first, it is a house that is occupied by three people who get on Kylie's nerves more than anyone, or anything, else... her blabbermouth mom, her not so easy to get along with stepdad, and a third mysterious entity that may or may not be a ghost.   I'm not as big a fan of comedy horror as most fans of fear"

I wonder if it was foreshadowing or not. I swear she acts just like a ungrateful teenage brat. Well that's an interesting development. I think this Morgana O'Reilly is quite an intriguing actress. That is an interesting development. Hmm it definitely doesn't feel like a typical ghost story. Oh no that's messed up! It's kind of feeling like a whodunnit kind of movie. There are definitely some truly creepy aspects here that I fin” read more

Moviewatcher122's 2016 Film Diary: February (31 movies items)

"February 29 "You know, the closed mind is the worst defense against the paranormal, Kylie. What are you gonna do against a hostile spirit? You just gonna crack jokes?" "No, I am going to smash it in the face. "You cannot punch ectoplasm." Out of all the recent horror movies to come out in the past few years, this movie is one of those gems. It is a good blend of horror and comedy although I think this movie excels more in horror as it is genuinely scary at times. The movie also does have it'"

Best movies of 2014 (49 movies items)

" This little New Zealand horror flick does a stellar job at playing around with genre conventions, with a solid cast & some actual surprises along the way. It's best to go into this one knowing as little as possible, that way it's sure to have its full effect on you."
