Goofs:

Factual errors: When Darry slips into the pipe, he should have landed on the two "packages" that the Creeper already threw down the pipe. Instead he lands on bare ground, with no sign of the packages nearby.

No creeps in this crap film

I could not understand how this film got 5.4 out of 10. Overrated! I mean, the movie was so awful. No frights, no chills, even I, who gets scared watching many ghost movies, didn't get scared seeing this film.

The plot is so stupid, no sense at all. The ghost looked funny and not terrifying. The actress looked as if she had gulped a full bottle of Castor oil. She looked so boring that I felt to sleep seeing her face. The actor was slightly better, but some of his expressions were wooden. When he started screaming, he looked stupid.

And why was there a stupid, crazy psychic in the middle? The end was terribly stupid. I request the director of this film to stop directing films and sit at home and live a peaceful life over there.
