UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
talkingpenguin3 There are many points in this movie that make no sense and/or confuse the viewer to no end (until the end). As it starts out, Jeffery meets "Dana" out of sheer coincidence and after first meeting and talking this woman gives him a fake alias "Dana" being the name of her aunt. Question, If you're going to mislead someone, would you give them the name of someone you know and could possibly point the person you're misleading back to you? Though it's planned by "Dana" she doesn't know that Jeffery killed her uncle till close to the end (obviously) but, why is the only evidence a Rosary? Also, why did she mislead Jeffery from the very start if she didn't know he killed her uncle till close to the end? Also, on Jeffery's quest for answers, if anyone has watched this film, I believe that he takes a cab back to his uncle's place and tells the cab driver to wait for him, he goes into his uncle's house, takes a shower but never goes back into the cab. I won't rag on this film due to low budget production, but I will rag on it due to the fact I had to turn on the subtitles just to understand what they were saying in the movie. Most of the time, the actor's volume in their voice was so low that I thought they were just mumbling to themselves.
proteusphi The 2008 horror film "Sight" can only be called a diamond in the rough. It's production values are humble, but the director, write, and actors all come through to deliver a surprising creepy and deeply dark tale.The story centers around Jeffery, a quiet, introverted man who just so happens to be able to see the dead. A movie that never pulls punches, "Sight" opens up with a tableau of Jeffery's childhood and the abuse he suffers from his father. The acting and storytelling skill of this scene alone is enough to understand why Lionsgate would have produced such a low-budget film. From there the story transitions into Jeffery's adult life where he encounters the mysterious Dana, a woman sets off a chain of events that spiral our hero into a world of darkness. I won't give too much away, except to say that once you look past the image quality of the film, the story will make it impossible to stop watching until the end.This brings us to the one bad aspect of the film: the low-budget appearance. You can tell they didn't have a lot to work with; but what they did have, they used remarkably well. The blood and gore look creepier and more realistic than in "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" - I kid you not. The lighting in "Sight" is both a blessing and curse. At times it gives the film an impressionistic feel, but at other points you're straining your eyes just to see what's going on. The movie is just SO dark at some parts, but too bright and blurry at other parts. The film quality they were using really shows, and it's sad.What isn't anything to worry about is the acting. I found Clayton Haske (Jeffery) and Tony Luke (Paul) totally believable. Allison Persaud seemed a little amateurish, but more experience she is really going to do great.All in all this is a movie that came out of nowhere to be something truly dark and scary. Schizophrenic shots, sadistic nightmare sequences, impressionistic lighting, gory visual effects and LOADS of blood, hair-raising sound effects and a score that will remind you of the Silent Hill games. It all comes together for a stunning American ghost story with a pitch black ending. With all the remakes that studios have been doing recently, I feel this one should near the top of the list. Regrettably, the gritty and dark storyline may be too much for some. But horror fans will definitely like this. Look out for writer/director Adam Ahlbrandt, he's truly talented.
Strazdamonas This movie is psychic. Its not meant to scare you, or amaze with dialogs. Yet it touches you from the depths. Even in the very beginning, they use white screen, that unconsciously attracts your attention. The music, or should i say, sound vibration, were were well put together on the occasions. Even for a psychic movie this was very creepy. It could fit in Horror genre too. Whole movie goes from elements, and they even use flashes to, again, contact your subconscious. It did was overacted, and the camera angles were far from perfect, but the general idea of movie, and the way they put it in does affect you. Im sorry to confess, but this is one of the rare movies that will go deep into my memory. The feelings it left were strong. The ending is left open, once again, letting the watcher to interpretate, therefore creating an ending for his possibility of thinking. This movie is not for everyone. Brain-dead action lovers should skip it, you wont find action here. The ones who do like psychology movies may watch it. Thats the movie for the small, but strong, circle of people, and I'm happy to get into it.8/10. It looses 2 points for the proportions mentioned above.
EEBrown-1 I think this movie was pretty good for a low budget Philly movie. It contained some basic elements as twists, who done its, and so forth. These elements keep you guessing, causes you to wonder and be confused, as well as makes you jump at times. There is an artistic use of lighting, as well as the volumes of voice. Then there was the purposeful absence of facial expression when called for. All the makings of a decent flick. Everyone wants to be a critic.The movie was good enough to be selected by one or more film festivals and get a distribution deal, which is a lot more than what some of you critics can boast about. So there.
