College student Jim (Colletti), sees an on line auction selling an ancient box that is suppose to have a ghost inside it. Short on cash, he convinces his two best friends Ginger (Lusha) and Kyle (McDaniel) to lend him the rest and he purchases it. Once it arrives they open it and unknowingly release the spirit of an 18th century Irish immigrant named Katie Malone. Like a psychotic genie, Katie kills off anyone messing with her family which is the three friends who own her. Jim is the first to realize what is happening and as others start to die his friends catch on. Set at Halloween time (you can tell because the same plastic pumpkin is in the background on most shots) for no particular reason, this is a movie you want to like. The three friends are likable and the Actors treat their roles with respect. The story is timely and somewhat original but at times becomes muddled. Katie's spirit attacks anyone wanting to hurt her owners but at times attacks them as well. Why? More practical effects would have helped take out some of the downright cheesy digital ones, and all though it manages a few jump scares and moments of creepy imagery, overall it just isn't good enough to be fulfilling. Relatively bloodless and no nudity, makes one wonder why this isn't PG-13.

The plot: A trio of college students buy a box with a ghost in it, not expecting the box to truly be haunted.Kill Katie Malone is basically a combination of the Robert Louis Stevenson short story "The Bottle Imp" and some stupid eBay auctions that caught the attention of the media, when people tried to sell ghosts. Predictably, eBay wasn't very amused, and it's now against their Terms of Service to sell ghosts, haunted items, or other supernatural things.Apparently, these kids got in before the ban, and they buy a haunted box. Ooooh, creepy. The ghost allegedly has the power to grant wishes, but it's very clingy and family-oriented. If you say anything about abandoning her or breaking up the family, it tries to kill you. The only way to get rid of it is to sell it on eBay.This is an absolutely ridiculous idea for a movie. The Robert Louis Stevenson story was actually quite interesting, because it offered what seemed like an unsolvable paradox. Kill Katie Malone, however, is just a generic slasher with a stupid plot. I'd have trouble recommending it to anyone, even bored teenagers. If you've got nothing else to do, I suppose you could waste your time on this, but I'm not sure why you would bother, when you could memorize prime numbers or the digits of pi. Either would probably be more exciting than watching this movie.

When I first saw the trailer, I knew the movie would be filled with action and moments of WOW! It's not the average slice and dice, it makes you pay attention. Katie is a bad little girl but you love her. Lil J's performance is amazing! He's believable as the side kick friend. You have to watch this movie from beginning to end! Great for a low budget thriller!!! I can't wait to rent me a copy of this movie and watch it over and over at home. It's not for everyone's taste. No naked girls, just plain horror and jumping out your skin moments. Dean looks great and it was so good to know that a Hogan CAN act!!! It's one of the "must see" movies of the summer. One you will truly enjoy. American horror at it's best.

Two guys and a girl are tickled pink to discover a ghost for sale on eBay. Apparently the ghost is capable of granting wishes. One of the dudes simply can't resist placing a bid, with a little contribution from his buddy. A package soon arrives containing what seems to be nothing more than an old jewelery box with a crappy locket inside. Obviously the locket holds a photo of Katie Malone. Suddenly people on campus are mysteriously dropping like flies. It's almost as if they're possessed by some masochistic entity. Some average acting leads us through a series of mildly creepy moments... ... ... you know what? I don't even know why I watch this crap let alone review it. There's not even any boobs... except Dean Cain! Run away!Check out my IMDb List for some better suggestions. "HORROR/THRILLER: Obscure, Overlooked & Underrated" http://www.imdb.com/list/8QFZ78e4Ar8/
