After watching this movie I was a little bit confused that it has so low marks. I liked the atmosphere and the environment of American countryside with this beautiful house life from a dream. The story line was really nothing special but not bad as well. I could stand it. But the main reason I gave 8 out of 10 is the scenery as I said before.The atmosphere of new - old house you are moving in with all the old stuff and secrets maybe secrets lit in me the attention. Also lately I found myself loving movies from surroundings of American small cities,villages and nature - I don't know why but that is the way it goes in my case. So if you want to see a southern redneck in the action and want almost smell the charms of countryside wilderness do not hesitate.This was good one.
