There is nothing simple about living in Silver Falls as
Jordan (Alix Elizabeth Gitter) will soon find out when she is forced to move
there to live with her aunt and uncle in the film A Haunting at Silver Falls (2013).
Jordan’s parents have both recently died and she has been placed in the
home of her Aunt Anne and Uncle Kevin (Tara Westwood and Steve Bacic,
respectfully). What puts Jordan on edge
even more is the fact that her aunt and mother were twins and so she is
constantly reminded of the death of her mother.
Her only escape is with her classmate Larry (James Cavlo) who she
immediately takes a liking to.
When Larry takes Jordan to a party she mistakenly finds a
ring in the woods and puts it on her finger not knowing that it won’t come off
no matter how hard she tries to remove it.
It’s not long before she starts experiencing strange things and seeing
images of twin dead sisters who begin haunting her and who are connected to the
ring on her finger. With the help of
Larry, Jordan must find out what the ghosts of these two girls want and if she
can solve the mystery before everyone around her thinks she’s become unsettled
and crazy.
This is a film that could have gone south really quickly as
do many haunted and ghost films but it is anchored by some pretty good
performances by the cast all around and a story that doesn’t go where most
people expect it to. It’s actually a
pretty good film that’s well done and not a time waster but may go under the
radar because of the generic title and the fact that the ghost and paranormal
genre is so cluttered with films (it took me a while to finally get around to
it).
