Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
gargouille1963 I was glued to the screen and wanted to watch it till the end. However, the movie is too long, the lead acting was a tad too cartoonish . Tim and Adam were by far the best characters in terms of acting. I don't for the life of me, understand the relevance of the creepy old woman and bleeding soldier characters. Especially the older woman. Also, WHO is haunting the house? The son, the tree or the soldier??Furthermore, the photography was too straightforward. There was a real dearth of photography angles and appropriate lighting. The music was largely irrelevant to understanding the movie. Of course the music is nice because it is Mozart but it does not being any significant clue or mystery to the movie. The movie would have been the same with or without the music. Bottom line, a lot of scènes are absolutely unnecessary and this movie has no right to be 1h50min long.
farharbour A very enjoyable movie with a strange, but believable(in the fantasy sense) story line. The acting is the strong and the character development memorable. It does require careful viewing to follow the story, but it is well worth it and you feel totally engrossed in the film by the end. The character played by Blake Berris is especially memorable: his transformation probably one of the best parts of the movie. Lindsey Haun 's character anchors the story .. she is sort of the "straight man" for the usual events that unfold around her. She also somehow becomes even prettier as the movie progresses. The sets and atmosphere lend a matter of fact tone to what is a strange tale indeed.
digitalPimple Awful. Long needlessly drawn-out, aimless and utterly boring. Lead actress kept me watching (not for her acting in this 'thing'). There is simply nothing to like about this film and I really really tried. What a mess. This maybe the first time I ever saw an opening and recoiled at how bad the attempt was. I will be much more careful when using 'reviews' from IMDb in the future. It's a shame. Let people's films stand on their own. By doing this I find the false reviews hurt the ones involved more than help. I would not normally say this but IMHO avoid at all costs.
pmillens This flick will take you places you have never been before AND sometimes it's even crazy hilarious, the dialog I mean, especially some of the stuff coming out of the mouth of that trailer trash guy, Jerry! The intention here doesn't seem to be "let's just scare the crap out the audience and cash in", but let's make them think a little, sometimes a lot, and take them for a cool twisted ride in the process. And by the way, the photography is damn impressive for a little indie movie. Same cameraman who shot the Bad Lieutenant and the TV series The Medium. I agree with some of the other reviewers here though. Not a lot of blood if that's what you're after. Saw it at the Portland Film Festival and I'm glad I did!
