The entire movie takes place in a painfully small set that is woefully bare and not scary in the least. Part of the "horror" is supposed to be how run-down this 5 room plus bath "farmhouse" that seems more like a large studio apartment actually is. More than anything this just annoys me. They leave the floors absolutely filthy so you can see the gusts of wind better, but all the characters go in and out of the house barefoot. There aren't any scary trinkets or macabre warnings to be seen either, just spoiled food, dirt, and leaves. None of the actors mesh well together. Laura Petersen is hot sure, but her acting is positively dreadful and her anti-science responses aren't exactly enlightened rebuttals. There's no spirited debate between her and the scientists. The younger scientist tries and fails, and while the older does well, he can't carry the whole movie himself.
Past this horrible setup you are given next to no information about anything. Not the characters themselves, not the house, not the former tenants, not the science... You get some insight into the ghost at the very end, but not nearly enough.
This movie is great for abnegation because it's nothing but long boring stretches of time. You will question every choice they make, and be left wondering about all the details.
