Reviews
Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
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.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
TheLittleSongbird Saw 'Tonight She Comes', being fond of horror regardless of budget (even if not my favourite genre) and being intrigued somewhat by the idea. Being behind on my film watching and reviewing, with a long to watch and review list that keeps getting longer, it took me a while to get round to watching and reviewing it.Giving 'The Sublet' a fair chance with being interest and apprehension, it turned out to be a little better than expected, having seen a lot of bad films recently. Won't say that 'The Sublet' is a great film (mediocre actually) because it isn't and the potential, while not wasted, is not fully lived up to. Considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre and less and wasting potential, was expecting worse and was relieved that while wanting in a fair few areas it was actually one of my better recent low-budget viewings.'The Sublet' started off quite well, the first part starting the film off on a promising, unsettling and atmospheric note that really does intrigue. Production values did have some eeriness and nowhere near as cheap as expected.The setting is effectively spooky. Initially, there are spooky and suspenseful moments, it isn't dull, and the storytelling initially does intrigue. The acting generally was not bad, Tianna Nori carries the film very well. However, the story was severely wanting in the second half after starting off promisingly. It is very disjointed and after the promising start the final third especially loses atmosphere, one loses interest and things start to not make sense. Too much of the film is vague and doesn't explore some elements enough, some of which go nowhere or serve much point. It also is uneventful too much of the time and the pace drags.Ending is unsatisfying, on top of feeling hasty there are too many loose ends hanging in the air and it all felt abrupt. Got the sense that the writers didn't know how to end the film. Would have liked much more tension and suspense (where there is barely any of either in the latter stages), scares could have been more consistent (again nowhere near enough) and some weren't surprising enough and had no atmosphere, the over-obvious sound not helping. The psychological parts of the story were more odd and undercooked rather than creepy and intriguingFound too the script to lack natural flow and with a fair bit of cheese and blandness going on, and the characters bland with some adopting some annoying and not always logical decision making. There is very little menace or urgency to the conflict and the direction is phoned in.Overall, mediocre. 4/10 Bethany Cox
KevinCoull Well worth a watch, don't let the reviews put you off.
sqdnb just in case anyone is lost in these other 2 reviews. as someone who knows and loves psycho thrillers and shocking horror movies. this movie is not brilliant at all. a good horror movie might just shock well without a good story. this doesn't. you see pictures flying around. knocking over and over again, doors opening, chairs moving. so when you do s**t like this it better be scary or it will later explain the story. but it doesn't either.it all doesn't make sense in so many ways. don't think the acting is bad. i think the directing and writing is bad. seems like they were supposed to behave totally irrational for the scenes. the dialogues wouldn't happen in real life.for the good parts, the screenplay and sound was OK, which doesn't change a bad movie into a good one.for anyone who wants to see real good psycho horror, go watch session 9, orphan or tales of two sisters (korean original). real masterpieces.
prakashgupta I have the felling of sinister movie while watching this one. Everything in good in this movie. You will not see any ghost but you we it's its full impact. The main centre of the movie is the girl because everything thing is happening with her and her behaviour is changing day by day. It's an mixed emotional movie which will keep to sit from the starting to the end.
