5.0 out of 5 stars This has become one of my favorites!, October 13, 2008

I have to strongly disagree with the other reviews. I liked the small town setting, the characters, and thought that the houses were interesting. I thought the story was good, scary, and provided a lot of "boo" moments. I was impressed that there was not a lot of bad language, nudity, and gore. I wish more horror films were clean. Just a good ghost story is enough for me. I'd say this film is like an adult version of a Goosebumps movie. The ending seemed to suggest a part two or perhaps a series which I will be looking forward to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable despite the acting, August 10, 2010

First let me say that this movie had some of the worst acting I've ever seen. As soon as the voice over began, I could tell that Rissa Walters was a terrible actress. The rest of the cast was no better. I decided to continue watching it anyway.

The story was actually pretty good for a movie obviously designed for a younger audience. It reminded me of Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark. And when I think about it, the acting was pretty bad in those, too. It's not overly complicated- the spirit of a young man's uncle is supposed to kill him on his 21st birthday and Sarah Landon arrives in town just in time to investigate and help stop it. It was a nice, basic ghost story for children.

There were parts that I thought didn't make a whole lot of sense in the story. Why make a big deal about the real estate agent? Why did the ghost of Sarah's friend Megan warn her to get out of the guest house when nothing happened there? But I found myself enjoying the movie despite these things and the terrible acting. The story moved quickly and I never found myself wondering how long I'd been watching. I might even watch one of the sequels if they are ever made. I'd just never pay to watch it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kind of a clunky ghost story, June 5, 2009

This review is from: Sarah Landon & The Paranormal Hour (DVD)

The scene where the guy is sitting inside a circle of turnips shaped like sculls with candles in them in a Halloween mask is worth the watching of this one ( supposed Druid ritual?). The "crazy" brother is almost over the top enough. The costuming of the lead leaves something to be desired.
For me the romance between the lead and the younger brother should have had more tension or pathos ( something more?)? The spirit villain isn't really scary enough and the sleep walking lady isn't very convincing as a threat?
For me this looks like a lot of first timer errors
in casting and costumes. For instance if the ghost had blood coming out his ears or something, it would have upped the tension level?
The location was pretty good and the old houses were nice:
actually more realistic than a lot of Hollywood products.
