The irony is that it actually had great source material.
If you go into the spook literature and read up on what supposedly happened during the "Bell Witch" haunting--whether you believe that stuff or not, it doesn't matter--you'll find the seeds of what could've been a really interesting cinematic tale. Had they actually filmed it instead of making up stuff and adding morphing ghosts and putting in a couple of stupid Ghost Girls (inspired by certain recent films which shall go nameless), they would have had an interesting film.
Hell, it would have been great. They had all the resources to make a respectable period ghost film with great costumes, atmosphere, production style. They had the money to hire a solid cast.
When I heard about what the film was supposed to be, I rushed right out to see it. A real bummer.
