Don't bother

chaz83uk from from Birmingham, 12th June, 2005

I don't find it hard to enjoy cheap horror movies, but this was dull beyond belief. It lacks anything worthwhile. Zero gore, at least with bad plot and acting, you can usually rely on that. This has small unrealistic bloodstains on clothes where people have been 'stabbed'. The plot is stupid, lacking in anything interesting, scary or surprising. The acting is worse than a GCSE drama group's first rehearsal, Paris Hilton especially. There's not even any nudity, which you'd expect from the porn-like cover of the DVD. And speaking of...Paris on the front? She?s in it for like 10 minutes. I can't imagine anyone enjoying this, so I refuse to recommend it to anyone. I wish I'd read reviews before I rented this. Frankly, I was humiliated that it was my choice and my friends had to sit through it.

One for real horror fans only

Nomis from , 6th June, 2005

This is Paris Hilton's first starring role (before the new version of ?House Of Wax?, although her acting job is questionable at least she isn't in the film for too long. So the story is about a group of friends visiting a huge Scottish mansion to celebrate their friend's 21st birthday. Of course they can't leave the place thanks to the winter-storm going on outside. Then they have to deal with the fact that they're each dying one by one thanks to the inscription from an old book that released the evil soul of the original owner of the place. Apparently the spirit likes to possess the bodies of the living and kill anyone that stands in his way. The only way to tell the difference is the fact that when a person is possessed they have no eyes (but are somehow still able to see). Instead you see just black space where the eye should be. Oooo, creepy yes? No. It's obvious that the movie's budget was probably spent on renting the mansion, because the rest of it was non-existent considering the cheesy effects (mainly the look of the eye-less victims). The film drags on a great deal (mostly the first 30 minutes when all the characters are introduced), but it also has a lot of scenes that seemed unnecessary and just dragged the story even further. OVERALL Unoriginal and has an over long intro, one for real fans of the genre only

Oh my god what a completely shockinlg bad bad bad bad bad bad bad (get the way this is going) bad movie. I actually really quite like Paris Hilton and dont think shes that bad an actor in what ive seen her in but I know she aint ever gonna win an oscar however she totally deserves one for making the first 20 mins or so of this film watchable yes she is the only good thing about this film and then she goes and gets killed first?!? Bad for the rest of the movie good for her for realising what a pile of crap it was and taking the money and running. Please dont waste your time on this.

Well I had high hopes for this expecting something along the lines of Scream, April fools day set in a Scottish mansion. Unfotunately this is more like a video of a hide and seek game! The story, plot, script and acting are all very poor. It's not gory, scary, sexy despite Paris Hilton appearing briefly, or interesting. Only good thing about it is the location. It should be rated a 12, can't think how it got an 18 rating! No suspense, twists just 80 minutes of a poor film trying to cash in on the popularity of the gerne and using Paris Hilton's name and photo on the cover to try and raise the profile!. Even if your a horror fan your best of passing this by!

The only extra is a 12 minute brief chat with the director and cast, even this is poor and not insightful!! Would avoid! 4/10

Its rare that I am moved to put a review here but I feel duty bound to warn unsuspecting horror fans against wasting their time with this movie. Its only worth watching if you really like Paris Hilton and even then you can stop watching after the first 20 minutes. This honestly is fine for small children to watc - I would rate it PG - I've seen scarier Poirot Episodes on ITV!

Its run of the mill to begin with and mildly diverting - it has promise which is why I gave it 2 instead of 1 star, but it just gets worse and worse. I supoose it can't have helped that the director who was alos the writer is only 13 (well thats how old he looks and sounds in the rather rubbish extras you get on this dvd)
