Being quite familiar with the correct history of so called post mortem photography popular from about the 1830th's well into the twentieth century, this movie caught my attention.When I saw Ray Wise had o role in it I got even more interested, being a fan of his since Twin Peaks. But, man, was I disappointed. I Think they have completely missed out on the possibility to build up tension and uneasy feelings which surrounds this subject, it's all loud rock music with distorted guitars and agitated, irrational character behavior as if all hell had broken loose, and that was just minutes into the movie. The filmmakers could have done more with less, so to speak.The acting and script seems very stiff (no pun intended), with characters, for example, reading letters out loud for themselves and describing what they are about to do talking loudly to themselves. Ray Wise's performance is good though, he makes a good effort with the role given him, but that's about the only solid acting in there is here.The special effects in terms of gory dying/dead people is quite good, but over the top, a bit too much, and too early on in the film.Horror fan, fan of the subject or both, you'll basically be wasting your time if you see this one.

The Booth Brothers never fail me when it comes to an entertaining movie or educational documentary to watch! I always look forward to each production from them and this one was fantastic. I loved the cast and the over-all plot. Since I am particularly interested in the main subject of this movie, and the paranormal in general, this made for a fantastic movie for me to watch!The only reason I gave it an eight out of ten possible stars was because, the pace was rather slow in some areas, but it still was a very entertaining movie to watch.Highly entertaining and a welcome reunion with some of my favorite actors! Well, done!

I enjoyed watching this movie...the basis of the movie was great...got me to wondering about those old photos and "maybe" with the camera itself, what there capable of doing....It was nice to sit in ones own living room and chat with the Booths...while the movie was on...like many of the movies out here you either like it or u don't...to each his own....and if u didn't like it.it takes a lot of guts to stand by what u write...but for those of us that liked it let us have our moment in the sun....I'm hoping they will keep putting out movies for us to review...my favorite characters were the kids...and the young man with the beautiful eyes...the children came across well in there character...excellent choice....OK this is it for now...tata....Bandits mom

A camera with a life of its own, and postmortem photography. Now, talk about an interesting storyline. Not your typical storyline you see in today's movies - which is why I find this movie a refreshing change from what we see in the movies or on television. Frankly, this one is one of the best Halloween movies released in 2014, proving you don't need excessive blood to make a good film.It takes a lot of good acting to convey thoughts and feelings from one who cannot speak. The young actor (Gavin Casalegno) in this movie, does a remarkable job in the movie.The music in the movie allows one to immerse themselves right into the story, which is one of the the things I have always enjoyed about a Booth Brothers film. Saint always manages to bring forth the emotions he wants you to feel with the right score - and timing is everything.As is always the case, if the lessons are not learned, history has a way of repeating itself. A lesson we learn in this movie - as we clearly see at the end.A two hour thrilling ride into postmortem photography, complete with imagination. Truly - a great tale of imagination from Philip Booth and his brother Christopher Booth. I highly recommend the movie if you want a break from the typical horror on the screen and want to step back to the way things were done, and how I they can be done with class.
