Storyline;

When three college students move into an old house off campus, they unwittingly unleash a supernatural entity known as The Bye Bye Man, who comes to prey upon them once they discover his name. The friends must try to save each other, all the while keeping The Bye Bye Man’s existence a secret to save others from the same deadly fate.

Thoughts;

This movie again starts off rather strong.

A man is yelling at a woman about “Who did you tell”, he then returns from his car with a shot gun, kills her and the other man in the house. After this, it cuts to “now” where a group of 3 friends are going into a house that they just rented. Now, of course said house is old and creepy AND in the middle of the woods.

When they discover the furniture in the basement is when things really start. First a party (where there is a child there which I won’t even go there), then a medium starts “cleansing” the house. She finds out about The Bye Bye Man, whom the name was read previous to the party.

That’s it, they all figure it out, start seeing things and die.

I knew it got bad reviews, like really bad, but that won’t stop me from watching or at least trying to watch.

I’ve been very disappointed with today’s horror movies.
