Honestly, I am slowly but surely losing all faith in the IMDb rating system. At the moment, this film is rated 4.7, and in my humble opinion that simply isn't fair. I consider myself a Horror fan, and I really enjoyed Long Time Dead.
I've seen comments and reviews stating that the acting and script were bad. While people are entitled to their own opinion, I have to disagree. The acting and script might not have been Oscar material, but that doesn't make them bad. We are talking about a film that from the beginning revolves around like 7 characters, so having no characters stand out simply means that all the cast had around the same level of talent. As for the screenplay - I thought the story was pretty good, the whole Ouija-Board/Occult/Demon combination worked rather well. Cinematography and effects were also quite awesome, nothing too fancy and no "overkills", just the right dosage.
All in all, I enjoyed every minute, and while Long Time Dead (not the right title in my opinion) might not have been one of the best Horror films I've seen, it's a long way from being one of the worst. Seeing such underrating frustrates and annoys me, and I feel like rating it 8 just to increase the average ratings. However, remaining objective and honest, I'll stay true to my original opinion and rate it a 7. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good scare!
