The Haunting of Marsden Manor (2007)

Jill, a blind girl with a bad attitude and a chip on her shoulder, has just inherited her Aunt Lillian's home.  Jill never met her Aunt and is a bit unnerved as the house is so far out in the middle of nowhere.  So she asks her friends Rob and Erica to go with her and stay at the house for the weekend.

When they arrive, she starts having visions of a woman in the house.  No one believes her since she's freakin' blind.

The house was built in 1830 and is a huge home with nice woodwork, massive rooms, a huge staircase, and fancy old furniture.  This makes the kitchen all the more strange since it appears to be a modern kitchen in a small New York studio apartment.  It's basically an aisle with cabinets and appliances on both sides.

They stay in the house overnight but not much happens.  There is a door that keeps popping open, the blind girl complains about everything and has a few glimpses of a ghostly woman.  When the door  refuses to stay latched,  Rob takes the unusual tact of nailing it shut.  I can't believe that's the best idea he could muster.  What if they need to get into the room?  Plus it's a beautiful wooden door, but since Jill can't see it, I guess it's not a problem.

The group finds a hidden room behind a modern bookcase and via flashbacks we are treated to a boring interaction between Kate, who has a bad southern accent, and a confederate soldier who she treats after he is injured.  It explains everything that's going on, but it's so lame that you'll think, that's it?  If this is supposed to be scary, they've done a terrible job.

Jills blind shtick wears thin as she takes offense so easily.  When Rob asks her about playing the piano, she states that she no longer knows how to play anymore since she's blind.  Did she use her eyeballs on the keys?  Because unless she had some sort of super eye power, she should be using her fingers.

In another instance when a lawyer is kind of snotty with her, she angrily exclaims, "I am not bright eyed because I'm blind.  So obviously I can't go to law school or any other school.  I can't make the world a better place because I can't see it."  Many blind folks would beg to differ.

When they find the family bible, which says it is owned by Lillian, things become a muddled.  According to the birth dates inscribed, Lillian was born in 1814 which would mean she can't be the same person as Aunt Lillian who just died.

Another issue is the bible verses that were bookmarked were in red ink and everything else in black.  Somehow I don't think the bible publisher is going to print the verses about fear that the family needed in red ink.  Since it was from the 1800s, perhaps underlining with a pencil, or just the bookmark with the verse number to direct them to the appropriate place on the page.
