Reviews
Bardlerx Strictly average movie
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
thekarmicnomad This film is massively mediocre. Now that is obviously not a compliment, but it doesn't have to be an insult either.It has elements of recovered cam shots, but is not a found footage film. It has some elements of horror, but is not scary enough to disturb even the most highly strung small child. It has "coming of age" elements, but you don't really get to know the characters or invest in them enough to care. It's quite cheap, but not funny or "so bad it's good"This reminded me of a cheaper version of a Dawson's Creek Halloween episode. Which is... OK.Would I pay to go and see a Dawson Creek Halloween rip off? Hell No! But if it was on Netflix and I was desperately trying to avoid doing some work I might put it on. Actually I did, and it was... OK
jaemilkowski I went into this movie expecting the typical lame, but comical haunted ghost movie - full of all the usual points: one note characters, bad acting and stupid dialogue.What I walked out with? Way more than I expected and I'm now ready to list this movie in my Top 10 Favorite Horror Films.The way the movie started, I was all set for my cheesy, B-movie night. But after about the first fifteen minutes, I found myself invested. So much to the point that I didn't even check my phone once or look away from the movie. The characters, which start with all the stereotypes, end up being characters you find yourself getting attached to. As you're with them longer and longer, this film takes its time for character development in between the paranoia-filled scares.And not that "rushed" development like most modern horror movies love to do. You know. The ones where it's like...two lines in the entire movie and it's only done before the final scare scene? This movie doesn't do that. And the characters this film created, I thought, were very realistic, as were their reactions and responses to what's happening.With all of that going for it, and with the movie never showing you what exactly is going after them - which a lot of the fear comes from you never seeing anything - I found myself getting nervous. How were they going to end this film in a clever way that doesn't spit on the rest of the film? You know how a bad ending can ruin an otherwise great film? I was so scared that was going to happen.While I can't say how it ended, what I can tell you is that the build up and execution is perfect. You never see it coming and that's what makes it so great.In reality, if I had to pick one flaw from the ending, it's the very last scene before the credits roll. Again, I won't say what it is, but it was the only thing I found myself disliking. If for any reason, the movie is an otherwise great psychological case study.The pros to this film are the pacing and characters. At certain moments, I literally teared up! I got that attached to these characters! And that's not something easily done in horror films - especially anything coming out after the mid-70s. This movie had me scared. And being a horror movie junkie, I don't usually get scared. I'm one of those that will sit through movies like "The Hills Have Eyes" and "The Conjuring" and laugh my way through them due to how stupid and over the top they are.So, yeah. I do recommend this movie. Not just to the horror movie junkies like myself, but anyone who's willing to have their mentality tested.
aaron smith Movie is genuinely scary, "and a must watch movie".As a matter for climax, the story just amazed me .This is a movie that would be a perfect fit for young teens. A must buy the movie to watch the scary "faces of your guests", it's really fun.I am sure that whole family will enjoy the film.This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat.This is a perfect suspense thriller."There have been several films of this type recently and the majority are just lazy imitations of The Descent but Abandoned Mine is better than that." I love this movie.The movie is well written and directed, and I am glad that it's scary without over use of nudity and blood.
Dustin Norman This film is amazing, Jeff Chamberlain knocked it out of the park, by doing a great, locally filmed, horror film that doesn't have people thinking they should have seen something else. I took my little sister to this, because she likes scary movies and she was floored by the twists and turns up to the last second. For all of you horror film lovers out there, this one will take a turn that you have never seen before and will want to watch again to make sure you caught everything.This is a must see for everyone this year, especially with Halloween coming up we all need to run out and check it out.... For me i will see it again and again, hope you all enjoy.
