Reviews
Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Dark_Lord_Mark WHat else can I say but it is super enjoyable.I am not sure why the low score. Most likely the high and mighty audience. It is a throwback to some really good 80's horror.It is reminiscent of those great horrors where kids were kid and acted like kids. The kids in the movie are very relateable sort of like the children in the Goonies or ET.The title of the movie is the plot but are all the kids crazy? Is it in their heads? Who knows, you must watch to find out. I highly recommend giving this a watch.I will give it an 8 to a 9 out of 10. Are there plot holes possibly. But does it stop the fun and enjoyment....no! Highly recommended.
bowmanblue Two brothers, the older of which has returned home after setting his house on fire and inadvertently killing his mother, must do battle against a man in a rubber suit who lives under their bed. Okay, so it's actually a monster, but, when you see it, you'll probably think, 'Oh, there's a man in a rubber monster suit.' Yes, that's the tone of the film.Naturally, the boys' parents think they're crazy and their dad is a complete idiot at all times (whether they're talking about monsters or asking for a drink of milk, he seems to find it in himself to start shouting and threatening to lock everyone in their rooms forever... or something like that – in short, he's a douche). Then you have your clichéd bullies who think he's crazy and they live next door (do you get the impression this film is lining up plenty of characters who are going to fall foul from the thing under the bed?). But it's not all bad news for the older brother... no sooner has he returned to his home town then he's met the one hot girl who finds surly, reclusive arsonists who ride BMXs really attractive. So there you have your 'love interest.' Yawn.The film starts off slow. I'm guessing this is to 'build tension.' But it just involves things moving in the house. Personally, I've never found a washing machine's door shutting by itself that horrific.Yeah, there's a climax and some funky coloured lights here and there. They even throw in a chainsaw by this time to try and spice things up, but, by now, do you care? I didn't. It's not terrible, just nothing remotely new enough to warrant me paying it any real attention.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
bradleybean86 Most of the people tearing this movie apart and faulting it seem to base that on the fact the movie has some plot-holes and illogical jumps between sequences. I can agree with them, but a compelling seamless story with lots of character development and deeper meaning does not necessarily make for a good horror flick.I enjoyed the movie as a whole, even as a cynical and self-proclaimed Horror Genre veteran. The first hour of the movie may have you wondering "Why is this even rated R?" "Where's the monster?" "Where's the gore" but all those questions are answered in the last 20-30 minutes, so be patient - and it will deliver.There are no crazy Asian-ghost-girls and the movie does not rely on CGI at all. There are a handful of bloddy and gory sequences that do unfold towards the movie's end, one-upping the beginning of the movie which may have you wondering if you're watching another "Disturbia" (throws-up) or "My Soul To Take" (the worst wes craven produced movie by far)It takes some time to get warmed up but the movie does deliver on the goods towards the end, and of course, any film involving fictitious monsters/demons living under beds is going to come across as silly and illogical on some level. You can tell the director wanted to engage the audience and give them some frights and fun, and it's production quality seems a lot higher than you would expect with a non-theatrical release. I can honestly say this is the most fun watching a new non-Hollywood horror movie in the last year, and that's out of dozens.
crazyactor1 I thought It was a pretty cool movie actually. I am a huge advocate for indie films and I think this independent movie was done very well. Jonny Weston really delivered his performance very good as well as his younger co-star. I did find myself jumping quite a bit while watching it. There were a few scenes that were questionable but overall I think the story was very well executed. It takes the more mature viewers to when they were kids and thought there were monsters under the bed. I would say it is definitely worth giving it a chance especially if you like indie horror films and if you are a fan of Steven C Millers other movies too.
