Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
MikialUK It's Nicolas Cage and you know he's had his ups and downs in movies but possibly more downs. This one is in the middle. The botton line is it's always fun to see his facial expressions and dedication even to a story like this which is not that bad at all but very familiar. As a horror fan, this one feels ok at times but mostly filled with horror cliches mainly the jump scares. But that's not to say the movie didn't have it's creepy moments as there were a few nice ones that crept here and there and at one point it really reminded me of Sinister so that was a plus. Overall, it's on Netflix so why not give it a watch. The ending however was a bit laughable.
sergelamarche Story is holding up but it is a Halloween movie like there are Christmas movies. I liked the connection with the vilain past of english invasion. Nicolas was acting very well, looking properly ghastly when appropriate.
Samuel-Shovel A lot of reviews are giving this movie flack but it's not that bad. I feel like people go into Cage movies now expecting the worse and have already decided how to feel about it before they've even watched it. I'm not about to argue that this film is good (because it definitely isn't) but you could do far worse than watch this movie. Sure, the CGI is terrible and the plot is no good. But we have okay dialogue in the script and everyone in the movie (minus the child actor) does a fine job. Cage isn't hamming it up like he often does and Sarah Wayne Callies does a great job. The scene after they lose their son is rather heartbreaking when you look at her. This movie does fall apart a bit down the stretch, however.All in all, it's very forgettable, not recommended, but not terrible either.
Puscifer DoZo In the era of mostly every film being ridiculous garbage, PTG was decent. I saw it for free but I wouldn't have felt ripped off if I paid $7 to see it in the theater. However, that's where it ends. I would be highly uninterested in DVD releases, Special Editions, Director Cuts, etc. During the last 15 mins I was kinda like "Huh? Really??". Kinda hokey - but again - decent.Some parts were a little moving for me because I have two daughters around Charlie's age and I was thinking "What if this happened to them?" (I mean the abduction part - not the part of being held hostage in another dimension by a ghost witch).Worth a watch if nothing else is available but when you wake up the next morning you will have probably already forgotten about it.RKS
