This movie failed in a way I can't recall seeing too often.  the scenerio is this milfy new yorker lady kills her abusive husband and is under house arrest.  She can't move more than "100 feet" from the box thing or the police will be alerted.  and her husband is a horrible ghost who is haunting her!!!  oh man.  "So he like tries to scare her to go past the 100 feet so she will have to go back to jail right?"  uhhh no.  She just kind a has to stay in the house and it's bad. " oh, well the back story is a trick, she really had a lover and they conspired to kill him."  uhh,  no she is basically a saint and it really was in self defense.

So....what is the point of the 100 feet and the ghost and everything?  good question.  It's little more than an excuse to go "BOO!!"  every ten minutes.  It's ANNOYING.  It moves well though and while the directing is dull and the script is corny it's passably entertaining.  Still, when the concept is so thin the other things tend to fall apart around it and by the end you have just as many "WTF's" as scares.  Someone could take this idea and do something with it like some kind of supernatural "panic room" or even a comedy!  but I'm sorry to say this guy really didn't.  I'd check out Dark Remains or The Thaw (if you don't mind a little left wing preaching) instead for relatively low budget indy type scares

This thing really left me cold.  I didn't care about the woman and the "scares" made me groan.  The Asylum should really stick to cheesy slashers and silly GCI monster movies - supernatural stuff needs some talent to pull off.  Otherwise instead of suspense you get,well...stuff like this.

I tried to watch this last night. I didn't finish it. I knew it was going to be bad when the cop taking her home was her husbands partner.. yeah, he would sooo be on the case. stupid.  Lookingup  It wasn't scary and the acting.. omg! it was painful. Everyone should avoid this. I only paid 1.00 to rent it and I feel robbed.   TeddyR

newer horror isn't really my area of expertise so I was hesitant to bash it but it deserved it

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
