On the heels of her husband’s tragic death, Liz and her daughter move to a small town looking for a fresh start. The teenage girl has a bit of a justified attitude to go along with the uprooting but the angst turns to terror when some spooky spookiness starts spooking. Mom is already plagued with nightmares about her dead spouse and has replaced her faith with a bit of the booze. Shit changes when her husband’s spirit shows up and tells her to “Help them” after a creepy nun appears on her front lawn being all creepy. Solid leads (most of the time) successfully pull off the grieving mother and daughter portrayal (no easy task) and Bill Oberst Jr is there as the local pastor. A giant janitor stalks around, there’s a secret at the daughter’s new school and ghosts act like ghosts. Perhaps the power of faith can wrap everything up in a neat little package? Most likely. BOJ tells a great ghost story (dude has always been a scene stealer) and Angela DiMarco is really good as the mother with a plate full of shit on her table. Sadly, the movie kind of lets her down. It’s not as creepy as it should have been but Angela DiMarco and BOJ make it worth a cursory glance.
