Half the movie looking for people is such a Paganini chore.
Folks wandering a "haunted" house could've used more Paganini score.
This is the longest 82 minute movie I've ever seen. I started nodding off and when my good friend Jesse called me on it there were still 30 minutes left. The beginning showed great promise, but this ended up being a Paganini bore.
