Haunted house keeps stay-at-home Famke busy
Links: AFFF / imdb

This film is not scary, is flawed and yet I still enjoyed watching it, trying to identify mistakes and to understand why the film does NOT work.

Through out the film one can clearly see that the editor has tried his best to fix flaws in the script and lack of character development. He has inserted some extra lines of dialogue and shots here and there in an attempt to help the audience. But there's only so much an editor can do...
I am pretty sure the writer/director did not have a post-it with the screenwriting mantra "show not tell" on his wall. So when there is no power in the house, Famke is shown on the phone with the electrical company stating that she will not have electricity all weekend (cue scary candle lit scenes in the corridor).

The 100 feet of the title refers to the electronic ankle monitor she wears in the film by the way, and not to the amount of footage they should have shot and kept for the final edit - the rest really went to waste!
