Synopsis: Lately, Joanna has been tormented by the memories of another woman’s attempted rape.

A series of premonitions leads her to a friend’s barn where she discovers a hideous truth.
Review: I thought that this was gonna be a ghost movie like The Grudge (2004) and The Messengers (2007). If it would have been, it would have saved this movie. Apart from…uh…the uh…uh…damn, never mind; I hated this movie. I love Sarah Michelle Gellar but this movie was just blah. The acting was lame, the story was boring and the climax was, needless to say, anti-climactic. I was so disappointed with this movie; I thought it was gonna be a creepy ghost story but it turned out to be a slow-moving dud. Not only did it take this movie forever to get going, it never picked up! There was no real climax to speak of! I was they would have cast some one else for Sarah Michelle Gellar’s part because she does not need this stain on her resume.
Rating: 6. Movie was overall disappointing and slow. No climax, no ghosts, no pick-ups, nothing. This movie, although it did hold me most of the way through, was just…blah. If you want to, or have been dying to see this movie, go ahead; but lower your expectations. (6of25).
