This movie can be looked at in many different ways, so I'll separate my opinions based on what aspects of the movie I paid attention to.First off, in it's horror/action aspects, it was amazingly average, possibly slightly below average. The little hangman symbols in the lockers, typical painful forced-down-your-throat foreshadowing. The weird kid who you know from the start is going to be the crazy villain in the end, you can see it all coming from miles away.What made it drop below average was the spiders...Seriously. If I recall correctly, they were trying to say that Brown Recluse spiders were being planted by the sociopath kid to attack the kids who bully people, and then they say that they were bred to be larger and deadlier...And when they show the spiders, they're these huge tarantula things! Brown Recluses are small, fairly smooth-looking, very long-legged spiders, but I guess you can't expect the film makers to understand evolution and breeding based on the film's themes.As for the "christian themes", they felt shoe-horned in. There's very little more to say about that, seeing the movie is the best way to understand this. It did, however, make the movie feel more hokey and ridiculous.Really, the only reason I watched this movie was that it was filmed primarily at a high school which I live about a mile away from, and it's kinda cool to be able to look at something so local that's in a big (using this word loosely) motion picture.

I first saw this movie on TV and now I own the DVD. Its a good family film and yes it is a Christian movie. The story plot (a ghost is haunting a school and hurting bullies) is acceptable for an afternoon where there is nothing to watch. This is a kind of movie that has more Jack-in-the-box feel (you know whats coming but I did jump a few times). And I skipped over quite a few clues to who the ghost really is, for some are actually really subtle. The acting is okay (don't worry you won't be ripping your hair out). I recommend renting, borrowing, or wait to October for it to be on TV again before buying this movie.Like I said, I own this movie. I like it.

I just watched this 'movie' and I must say that it was possibly one of the worst that I have ever seen.First off there is the stereotypical portrayal of the goth subculture. By golly....all goths worship Satan and want their classmates dead! When I was a goth in high school(late 1980's)I personally worshiped a fellow student who committed suicide and prayed to him to kill all of the 'jocks'. You better believe it!!! It's like the makers of the film studied my life and patterned the 'goths' in the movie after me! WOW!!!If you can't tell that I am being sarcastic then you probably like this movie.Everything about this movie is trite and patterned on stereotypes. Even the ending is typical. The 'evil' looking 'goth' kids suddenly change their clothes and are happy. As if changing your clothes can all of a sudden change your whole entire attitude. Every time I wear jeans and a 'normal' shirt I know that I feel at peace with the world and want to throw frisbees in a park.About twenty minutes from the ending my boyfriend commented that he thought it was a 'christian' movie, and he was right. Who else but close minded bigots would portray a subculture is such a light. Instead of actually doing some research they perpetuated the whole 'goths' are evil stereotype. Not all Christians are bigots, but the people who made this movie are sure not practicing what they are preaching.Stay away from this movie. If you are reading this while drunk you may want to look into it just for the pure entertainment value of seeing David Keith with an upside-down cross drawn on his forehead.

OK, first we got the stupid premise of the government training a whole family as a secret undercover investigatory team, including the 2 teenagers. This team is checking out reports of supernatural deaths at a high school due to a ghost. This, of course, is not the case. A much-bullied science geek whose uncle was harassed to death years before is taking revenge on those he sees as the same types that were responsible. The inconsistencies in this film are legion We have the family FBI unit, which would never happen under any circumstances. We have a school building infested with large, very aggressive and highly poisonous spiders that nobody notices until they figure out the cause of the mysterious deaths, but after that you can't swing a cat without disturbing a huge clump of arachnids. As another reviewer mentioned, the daughter, though FBI trained and skilled, squeals like an 8 year-old at anything that startles her and screams constantly once the spiders are discovered. Overall, this turkey needs to be forgotten, a bad idea poorly executed. If I saw this for free I'd want my 2 hours back. Really awful, a must-pass3 out of 10 because at least it wasn't that even more awful House of Wax from earlier this year.
