My quick rating - 5.2/10. Nice to see Tyler Mane in a role other than his typecast fare. You know him (sorta) as Sabretooth or Michael Myers, but here Tyler shows he can act, along with writing and producing. Michael receives a frantic call from his estranged, eccentric (and extremely paranoid) father, Gary (Muse Watson), who is obsessed with building an unassailable compound. Once they arrive at Gary’s modest home, surrounded by acres and acres of grounds full of cameras and other security sensors, Michael is surprised and concerned to learn that his father is in the early stages of dementia. The house is now also covered in supernatural and occult symbols. Here is where Michael (Mane) and his family must confront a spirit (Michael's brother) that took his sister's life. When Michael stumbles into the murder, he shoots his brother, leading to a short trip into the afterlife of the angry soul. The movie itself delves into the occult type transition into the afterlife which the family had a knowledge of for generations. Not all pass on happy, some stay on a ruthless rampage. The gore is minimal which worked for the film since the characters did a fairly good job acting out a well-written screenplay to keep your attention. Far from a classic movie, but will definitely make a fan of horror movies satisfied with a nice story, good images, kills when needed, and all the bells and whistles to bring you back to an age of horror movies that don't need gore and cheap scares to drive the movie. Kudos to the casting director for bringing icons of the horror genre together into this movie (Derrick Mears and Muse Watson, along with Tyler Mane) are very memorable faces from movies and TV that I am sure you have seen (I kept calling Watson "Franks" from his NCIS days LOL ) Overall a great first effort from this team and I look forward to what Mane and Geerlings can bring to the table in the future.
