IslandGuru Who payed the critics

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Rainey Dawn The film is not a bad ghost/haunting story - the Ludlow demon is more like a really mean ghost but I'll call him a demon - lol. The film did hold my interest to a degree, it's not great but I did find it watchable.The haunted piano (harpsichord really) houses the Ludlow demon - a man that used to play it all the time but had his hands cut off and vowed revenge on the descendants of those that did this to him. Each person he's killed over the years has become his ghostly helpers in his evil diabolical revenge plan! Muahaha!! Fun movie. Somewhat entertaining and watchable. I would have rated this film slightly higher but I don't understand why the ghost demon Ludlow didn't get back his hands at a much earlier time period - why did he wait 200 years to do it? He could have done it well before 1983. Oh well, still kind of a fun film to watch.4/10

Andy McGregor A brother and sister return to their hometown after years of being away to research their family. They discover that all descendants of an evil ancient relative are cursed to die at the hands of vengeful spirits which haunt an old piano, passed down through the generations.Although it begins slowly, there are a few genuinely creepy moments throughout an the town actually has an eerie quality to it. Despite these though the film descends into silliness at all levels; unintentional laughs aplenty here. The ghosts themselves look like costume-party goers who have just had their party cancelled at the last minute!This rather shoddy film (about a haunted piano of all things!) probably won't appeal to everyone. However, if you can get past it's terrible lighting, ropey special effects, poor acting and shaky script enough to see this through, you just might find a little brainless entertainment value from it.

FilmFatale Really, really terrible, even for Rebane. I don't think I've ever seen a sink burst into flame in any genre of film, for starters. In keeping with Rebane's "style" in this movie, this review will mostly be full of rambling comments. Ludlow is apparently in New England, but it looks like Wisconsin and the accents are Wisconsin-y. Characters are ripped apart by demons but later found intact and the cause of death is ruled as strangulation. The reporter girl has flashbacks of things that haven't happened yet. Vampires??? Bill, 49 minutes in and you introduce vampires??? I think it's trying to be a mystery that gradually unfurls, but it's so badly done stuff just jerks along from one plot point to another. One hour and 19 minutes into the movie, the Three Musketeers show up to have a swordfight and kill a character. "Efrem Ludlow's ghost is in the piano...he wants his hands!" The laughing, floating piano that explodes about ten times without damage is a riot though. The shocking revelation of the stumps hardly looks like the actor playing Efrem is wearing socks over his hands, huh? Hell, I don't even know what happened at the end.You may think this is a "so bad it's good" movie. Don't think that. It's so awful it made me angry. Avoid.

CMRKeyboadist I just got done watching this movie and as it was barely watchable I did get a few laughs out of it. The storyline is very similar of Carpenters "The Fog" except these ghosts come out of a white piano to exact their revenge on the town of Ludlow and there was very little fog. Most of the movie is a big yawn but several death scenes were hilarious. For instance, the first scene a half naked girl gets her intestines ripped out but it is just kind of a flash to her stomach and it looks really fake. There was a really funny scene where two girls throw rocks at this old lady and hit her square in the face. And there was a great decapitation scene that had me on the floor. Over all, this was a bad movie but it did have its moments (even if they weren't meant to be funny). I give this movie a 4/10.
