Dead children can ruin any family event, even a year on from said passing. Maggie awkwardly arrives at her friend’s home to drop off some flowers and cake, not wanting to intrude on the family get together. Hannah insists she stay and she’s greeted warmly by everyone else already there. Mom begins thinking everyone should be talking about the tragedy that hit a year ago and insists on pushing the subject through, she also seems insistent on getting more grandbabies which even I have to admit seems in poor taste… and just look at the sentence I started this review with. Hannah’s sister Bethany begins acting strange and it’s pointing towards a supernatural reason. At least I think that’s what a possible sexual assault by an invisible something in her dead niece’s room means but I’m no expert. Beth pukes, says out of pocket shit and speaks in that standard spooky-man voice. Mom blames drugs. Mom is pretty terrible but also kind of funny. A garbage disposal nips a finger, a message is written in ashes, sadness is prevalent in everyone, a medium gets called in shockingly quick, an exorcist joins soon after, a seance gets stupid, secrets are revealed, names are repeated like someone is embarrassed that they forgot somebody’s name and familiarity-bred boredom goes along with the emphasis on family drama. Eric Roberts plays a police psychiatrist interviewing the survivors (shockingly not doing most of his performance by acting into a phone) and getting to the bottom of things. That old Roberts charm gives it some extra points, it features a truly lame exorcism and it’s at least watchable thanks to its stupidity and silly ending.
