Henry Dawles (Nick Apostolides) is commissioned to perform an appraisal of the estate of Mr. Reimel (Phil Amico) an elderly southern gentleman. His possessions are quite extensive and it will require several days. Henry has just left a failed relationship with his wife over his infidelity. As he lifts his shirt we get our first clue to a long developing mystery...been there done that.
The film goes in circles for too long as the mystery drags on and the Zippo becomes annoying. Our protagonist is neither likable nor entertaining. They work in as many jump scares as possible. While the film was adequately done, it could have been made-for-TV.
The tag line is a plot spoiler, so be careful what you read.

It's Sort Of A Suffering To Watch
So this what...appraiser? Whatever he is goes to this old home and is paid more and more as the movie progresses to continue his work. He keeps wanting to leave because he's seeing things and crazy things are happening.
This movie seems long and drawn out even tho it is not that long. And it's really not very good. 3/10
A Good Modern Horror-Thriller
This is a pretty good story about a man, Henry Dawles, who shows up to appraise the home of Mr. Remiel. Remiel is a southern gent of sorts, and oversees not only the his home but that of sinister beings. What are these beings? Ghosts? Zombies? Demons? Are they all the imagination of Henry? Is this just one long nightmare Henry is having? I won't give away what happens - only to say it's pretty good and reminds me a bit of the older/classic horror films that I love.
The movie is done in good taste - creepy beings, a bit of blood without going crazy with all the fake blood on screen and creating a gorefest. The movie is character and story driven instead of being a bloodbath gory "veg-out in front of the screen" movie. This film works with your mind - my type of horror! 8.5/10
