An adopted girl returns to her homeland of Russia to explore the dilapidated mountain farm she has recently inherited, only to discover that it harbors a deadly secret in the feature debut from Aftermath director Nacho Cerd�. Shortly after the mysterious death of her birth mother, young Marie was adopted and brought to live in the United States. When Marie receives word that she has inherited an isolated farm in her native Russia, she soon sets out to explore the vast estate and peel away the thick gauze obscuring her secret-shrouded past. Confounded by the locals refusal to show her to the damned locale and determined not to give up after coming this far, Marie convinces a man to take her there only to discover that he has inexplicably vanished shortly after arrival. As Marie sets out to explore the ominous and expansive property alone, a surprise encounter with a man named Boris, who claims to have been lured to the house under similar circumstances, sets into motion a chilling series of events in which the ghosts of the past -- as well as deceased doppelgangers of both Marie and Boris -- prevent the frightened pair from leaving. In the terrifying hours that follow, both of these tormented lost souls will find that sometimes the past is best left forgotten. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I didn't like it.
By Jon ForceVerified Reviewer from Boston, MA on 11/13/2007
Cons:
Disappointing, Poor Plot Development, Unoriginal
Describe Yourself:
Avid Moviegoer, Movie Buff, Movie Collector
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My buddy who went to film school and shares a lot of the same interests in movies as I do recommended this. He loves it. I didn't love it as much. It contained every horror movie cliche in the book. The lost in the woods at night and you hear noises in the woods in the middle of nowhere so you go and investigate cliche. The abandoned house in the middle of nowhere with the creepy woman in it and the lights suddenly go out cliche. Virtually every been there/done that horror movie technique is used in this movie. It's also incredibly boring. I was really rooting for something bad to happen to the main characters because I couldn't stand them. Long story short, boring, cliche, no-pay off. I couldn't even get someone to buy this for a dollar when I tried to sell it on ebay. That's the abandoned for you.
