I'd been wanting to see this for a while after hearing it compared to HOUSE which is one of my favorite haunted house/ghost movies ever. Sadly I shouldn't have believed the hype on this one. It does outdo HOUSE in the gore department which is cool and you get a guy ripped in half by acid of some sort, another guy completely melting down to a skeleton and then ashes and a big battle-axe to the head. Unfortunately none of this stuff makes any sense and you have stupid scenes of people running away from shadows, a burned up ghost-baby and various things happening for no reason at all illuminated by POLTERGEIST-looking lightning and whatnot. This was based on a Japanese video game which should have been my first clue that this wasn't gonna be anything great since I can't even think, off the top of my head, of one movie based on a video game that's worth a shit.
There is a more recent SWEET HOME which is a Spanish movie about murderers in an apartment building which has nothing to do with this.
