My Thoughts:
Wow... where to begin? This one is so bad I was worried I wouldn't be able to watch the whole thing before giving up on it. When I review a movie I do want to at least finish it to give it a fair review.  But this movie was just plain painful to watch. You could easily tell this is low budget. It felt like it... and not in a good way. I do believe low budget don't mean bad movie... but this one needed some help. The storyline while a fair idea... I just couldn't get to care about it. The acting was just terrible. I am the type of person that can usually find something good about a movie... but I am stressed trying to find anything about this movie that is any good. I really can't say there is anything about this movie that I like. Don't waste your time!

Tom Bresnahan (Ski School), Jill Whitlow (Night Of The Creeps) and Todd Bridges (Diff'rent Strokes) star in the haunted-house thriller Twice Dead.

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Audio Commentary
• Bonus Trailers
• Interviews

I figured while I have the disc in I may as well watch this one too. The first thing I did... as I usually like to do... is watch the trailer for the movie I am about to watch. That is when I notice that Todd Bridges is in this movie. Who I know as Willis on Diff'rent Strokes which it says right in the overview... but I wasn't paying that close of attention to it. I had no expectations what so ever on this one... as the people that I asked about this (mostly who recommended The Evil to me) didn't seem to remember this one.

After watching this one I must say... I enjoyed this one just a little bit more then I did The Evil. I just found the storyline a little more fun. The ghost antics / horror is really keyed down in this one... but that didn't bother me at all. I liked that not only did we have the brother and sister protecting their home while their parents were away... but also at the same time had the ghost protecting it's home. Definitely worth checking out for a more fun type of horror.

"Being Erica" is a great series, which I can definately recommend. Also the final episode is a good conclusion to this series.
The last season on the other hand has disappointed me somewhat. Not that it doesn't have good episodes. It does. But the last episode of the previous season promised a specific direction that the series will take, but in my opinion it did not live up to it.
