I felt the story idea had potential, but wasn't well-executed. A group of psychology students meet in an abandoned house to see if telepathy is possible under specific conditions. Lucky (Rumer Willis) brings a bag of cocaine, which some of the students start snorting right away, without considering how it would affect their psychological study results. When they do actually start with the study, the paranormal stuff starts happening with barely any buildup, making it unscary and boring. It freaks them out, so they decide to drink, smoke weed, snort cocaine and make out to ease the tension. After that, they experience creepy visions. A Gothic ghost girl tells the main girl Becket (Taylor Cole) to avenge her (they are apparently sisters), and Becket stabs the ghost girl's real killer to death. The cops arrive after a while, and discover everyone dead, except for Becket. They also finally discover the murder weapon the ghost girl was murdered with, and I suppose that means the ghost accomplished what she came for.The ghost revenge plot wasn't exciting, but it could have been. Wouldn't it be cool if we were never quite sure if there is a ghost, or they are all just suffering from group delusion caused by drugs, sleep deprivation and expectations created by their experiment? At least to me, people killing each other from paranoia/OD'ing would be more disturbing than a ghost plot. And adding uncertainty only makes it more thrilling. However, what the movie lacked in story, it compensated for by sexy scenes between Rumer Willis and Taylor Cole (and sometimes Ryan Donowho). At least they did that right.

The dear d b user said pretty much everything. I absolutely agree with him and want to congratulate him for having the patience to write so many things for this meaningless and total crap of a "film." A film with no reason to be made from the start. Nothing worth seeing on this garbage. Except for those who like to see naked or almost naked girls, make out and stuff. Something you see in hundreds of movies. Taylor Cole, is an absolutely gorgeous and very sexy woman to lay your eyes on, and one of my personal favorites, but she didn't have to underestimate herself and star in this total trash of a movie just to earn some money. She has potentials to gain money with her looks and her acting skills, even though on this one, she doesn't show them at all.A "marriage" between the classic plot with a group of teens/students who go for a holiday to have "fun" by smoking joint, snorting cocaine, giving lesbian kisses,and supernatural figures and ghosts. Just to laugh at and get angry at the creators, who totally insult your intelligence.I respect and applaud any effort in low budget movies and new ideas. But this one is an absolute failing attempt on combining 2 different themes, and also sticking to one theme either. And also is one from the many similar movies we constantly see and has nothing to offer. Absolutely nothing, in my opinion.Well it might have one thing. For people who may suffer from insomnia, will probably help them to sleep, and actually enjoy their sleep.1 out of 10.

Well, after seeing the trailer for this, I was hoping it would be at least decent - well I was wrong. Rumer Willis is almost naked from the start, which in my opinion she didn't need to be. Yes she has a good body, but her acting ability isn't that good. There's a lot of clichés in the film, girl kisses girl, scantily dressed women, a sex scene, and plot clichés to boot. Don't get me wrong, almost nude women isn't a bad thing, but in the right context. When the story line doesn't need it, then don't do it (although some classic horror uses it a lot, the operative word here being "classic", this will never be). The plot is quite weak, they use an actual experiment name in the title to hook people in, but the film didn't really need it as the plot could have been about a group of young people who go to a house to see if there are ghosts there. But I guess they were trying to make it "original", yet they failed. Very disappointed by this movie. All I can give it is 1 out of 10.

This movie had about 20 minutes worth of potential substance, padded with 60 minutes of absolutely useless filler. It starts out with some kids attempting some kind of ESP experiment in a seemingly abandoned house. For a while I thought it had potential, but quickly realized I had made a grave miscalculation. Right from the get go we are thrust into the middle of the story with no explanation or background given whatsoever. After about 20 minutes of throwing random images and dialog at the viewer in hopes of building up a creepy and mystic atmosphere (scenes of the first stages of the experiment) I guess the producers were like "ok well dang...that's all we got" and then scrambled to find another hours worth of footage to use so they could call this a film. The bulk of the remainder of the movie is softcore porn and nonstop shots of people doing cocaine. Like, they literally do at least 50 lines of coke in the span of one day. After a few minutes of this it becomes painfully obvious that the concept of a film has been thrown out the window in favor of endless cheap sleaze. The majority of the film felt like a clichéd, unimaginative music video without direction (oh, they even play some really annoying dubstep for a while over unnecessary scenes of partying). Ultimately there is NO point to this movie whatsoever and I have no idea why they even bothered to make it. No story, no character development, nothing. There are very few scenes which have anything to do with the supposed plot; most of which were comprised of choppy "visions", super cheesy ghost...sister...thing(still not sure what that was about and don't care enough to find out), and some convoluted voice-over meant to sound deep while attempting to mask the complete lack of genuine depth or plot. Do not waste your time unless you're just looking for footage of teens partying. The people in charge of this film (writer, director) need to move to another profession as they seem to have a gross lack of understanding as to what a movie is.
