WARNINGS:

GRAPHIC VIOLENCE
EXTREME ADULT LANGUAGE AND CONTENT

Well, this one was a total disappointment. I bought this DVD because I love horror movies - but NOT slasher movies, just stories that frighten.

This is not a slasher. It has some gore. Some goo. Weirdness but not too scary to me (so speaks the queen of terror).

The story of an American woman who discovers she has inherited abandoned properity in Siberia after 40 years, she goes there not to make a claim but to discover her REAL past. Once there, she finds her "twin" brother already in residence in the ramshackle house. A house, moreover, shut off from the rest of the world due to the bridge being down and it's being on an island.

Strange how she got there to begin with. When the bridge was already down. In a truck that hadn't run for 40 years.

Umm, yeah.

The movie has a few twists. Such as: things that have been decayed for 40 years suddenly coming to life and being as new (or trying to attack), hidey-holes within the house to get lost in, the two having visions of themselves (their dopplegangers) as they are soon to be...yeah, the dopplegangers are pretty creepy. And the pig scene is really gory but, then again, I don't like gore, I like creepy.

That lady is quite something using that big old gun, she makes the guy, her brother, look like a wimp! That's a plus. Kind of Sigourney Weaver without the looks or muscle.

The naked girl that shows up needs to lift some weights or something. Maybe go to the beach, get a tan, she's lookin' awfully blue. Stop leading guys off to get eaten by pigs, that's a no-no.

Even though I know some who deserved it, I can't recall ever leading some jerk off to my sty so my pigs could eat him. Wish I'd thought of it, though.

All in all, it's not worth the price of rental. I have higher hopes for some of it's beginning reviews of coming movies.

Hope I didn't insult anyone.


PLEASE VOTE IF YOU FOUND MY REVIEW OR GUIDE HELPFUL! THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)

In the begining this movie was very interesting and mysterious. It kept my attention for the first hour. I love mysteries. But towards the end it got weird and a little disturbing. I like being scared but I was bothered by the ending because of the violence towards babies. The writer should have given a little more past history of the family dynamics and issues to help the viewer understand why it ended in such tragedy. This movie left me wondering why did he do it? Was he crazy, jealous or just evil. With a family like that they were better off abandoned and should have never went back.

i like it alittle but alittle of bored i fell the sleep on this movie it was about two people who is brother and sister like twins and come back to they family home after 40 yrs and find out that the house is haunted with old memory of they childhood and they parent which they father told to kill her mother.

THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL. ABANDONED. DO JUST THAT AND ABANDON THIS MOVIE. NOT WORTH THE TIME OR MONEY TO SEE IT. TWO THUMBS DOWN :o( OUT OF THE 8 AFTER DARK HORROR MOVIES, THIS ONE WAS HELD BACK AND RELEASED LATER THAN THE REST AND GOD KNOWS WHY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WORTH THE WAIT BY ANY MEANS.

I have to say this is one of the BEST ones of this 8 movies to die for! I didnt care for most of them, although The Deaths Of Ian Stone is another great one in this series! A woman trying to find the truth about her adoption-and the property she inherited- finds out she has a twin brother and the truth about her biological parents,she get caught up in some kind of loop that repeats itself so to say! The twists in it keep you watching!
