Reviews:
“Incorporating spirits with real evil spirits is a fun play on words, but even more creative details are utilized in the catching of the ghost. This is a well thought out process and a lot of fun to see unfold. Also, the variety of ghosts themselves is fun to see as dog spirits, spider monsters, gremlins, and all sorts of orbs and vapors haunt the party after the booze is cracked open.” Ain’t It Cool News
“Utilizing some great puppetry, projection, and other practical chicanery, these spirits are a varied and rather rad bunch. I can guarantee you’ll dig these diabolical dudes and be ultra-impressed with what the filmmakers achieved with a micro-budget, especially if you love flicks like Ghoulies and Spookies.” Famous Monsters of Filmland
“This is a typical ‘haunted house’ style movie with very little incident and lots of attempted atmosphere. The poor technical qualities and lack of an interesting storyline make it highly forgettable.” Leofwine Draca
