This sounds great! I haven't seen a good vengeful ghost story in a long time. Oddly enough I re-watched The ring the other night - great stuff! I got halfway through The Ring 2 and had to bail, it's just that bad. Nice discovery!
I love the idea of holding a seance and then getting a "wrong number" and having to deal with it. It's kind of like that Kevin Bacon movie in which he lets Iliana Douglas hypnotize him at a party and gets psychic powers by mistake.
After the untimely death of her sister, Lily moves the quiet spiritual community of Cassadaga. She
attempts to contact her sister through a séance but instead ends up being
tormented by the ghost of a murder victim. She must now put the pieces of the
puzzle together and find the man behind the murder so the ghost can rest and
leave her at peace.

Vengeful
ghost stories are nothing new they have been around for ages. The charm in
these stories comes through the uniqueness of the direction. I found this film
to be interesting and overall it was a pretty good watch but it relied on those
quick pop up scares and such to keep you on your toes. I think that's just
taking the cheaters way out of actually being scary. Ghost stories have so much potential and I find them to be much more frightening when you can't see the ghost, an invisible entity throwing things around causing harm makes the film much scarier since you never know where it is. The killers method of
execution however was quite different, he turned his victim into a human
marionette, see above.
