A barely okay Southern ghost story with some good performances to help it along.

 


It worked best in its depiction of small-town Southern life (wrote the guy from a mid-sized city in California), but the court scenes were cringe-worthy and the revelation at the end of the film comes straight from a campfire story that everyone has heard before.
