The beginning in the party house, where a weird and insane murder happened, was really involving.

So I was expecting something unusual in this genre, but...

The offputting teenager characters (I felt sick watching them doing some silly modern stuff like being glued to cellphones, smoking weed, having boring arguments with the seniors) were a first warning sign.

Ok - here comes the story plot: a ceramic hand, an original idea with a handshake to contact the dead... Of course, things MUST go wrong here :-) And to tell the truth, I was ready for that. I knew it would probably not happen right away.

However, the way it went afterwards was pretty much predictable for me and... disappointing. Actually, it was a mess of actions caused by the thoughts of the obsessed protagonist.

I cannot give a high score to the production design - for instance, the makeup for the evil spirits. Especially after watching another horror movie several days ago where it was really top-notch! Here it was rather funny (the look of the dead mom and others).

The cinematography is pretty good, I think. But it is not enough to give this movie a high mark.
