Just so...so bad

A Masterpiece!

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I love this movie. In fact I cannot understand why The Craft was the one that most people say turned them on to Witchcraft. As this movie rocks. It is subtle, understated and extremely well acted and played out by the beautiful and talented Ms Chalke. She plays this role extremely well and kudos to Ben Foster too, another actor with a lot of parts in front of him. A great female role where the woman is not afraid, although willing to jump a few times (and who doesn't) The story was solid, a young woman moves into a house with her mum, the home of a Witch, burned by people who don't seem to get the irony of that. (Like its good to burn people and watch them die in pain, no matter what they have done)And this leads to going to a school where the cool just happened to be the ancestors of those who had burned the Witch. No wonder they are spooked (serves them right!)A place of small town minds even in the 20th Century with loads of chips and plenty of hidden secrets, in the hearts of these 'cool' kids. This is not a movie of body counts, or of blood and gore. Its about.....well watch it and see.

I saw this a couple of nights ago on Lifetime Movie Network, having never seen it before. This was like, attack of the mid/late '90s big time. Riding the wave of Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Charmed, and even Clueless, I've Been Waiting For You has some elements from all the movies and the TV show I just mentioned. It is just the smaller-budget version.Sarah Chalke is Sarah Zoltanne, a high school senior who has just moved with her mother from L.A. to small town Massachusetts. The moment she arrives she has a bad feeling about her house, which she learns was home to a supposed witch centuries before. She is shunned by her new classmates at her new school for dressing "weird" and for hanging out with the black sheep, Charlie (Ben Foster). One of the popular guys (Christian Campbell) does takes an interest in her, though. I do not want to give anything away, so I will leave it at that.I would bet the makers of this movie, along with the actors, had a good time while making this--it is total fluff. See it and you'll see what I mean. Director Christopher Leitch (who also directed She Fought Alone) does a nice job here. I recommend I've Been Waiting For You, mainly due to the nostalgia of the '90s. This movie is soooooo '90s--the phrases, the jokes--it is pretty hilarious. It is also really fun. Do not expect much and you should enjoy this.

This is a clever fun interesting movie that is not very popular at all. If you liked Scream and I Know What you Did Last summer you would definitely enjoy this movie. Its not extremely gory or bloody, so people are sensitive to that will not have to worry. Its not very frightening but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.The characters are likable and interesting with fun young actors and actresses. But mostly the story is very intriguing and once you see it you have to finish so you know whats beneath the mystery. So its not the next blockbuster or the scariest movie of all time but its definitely 100 percent worth the view!

Single mom Rosemary Zoltanne (Markie Post) and her smart-ass teen daughter Sarah (Sarah Chalke) move from L.A. to a big house in Massachusetts where a witch was burned at the stake 300 years earlier. Sarah makes friends with a geeky outsider (Ben Foster) but also attracts the attention of teen members of the "Descendant's Club"-- obnoxious jocks (led by Christian Campbell, brother of Neve) and the high school bitch queens (led by Soleil Moon Frye) who think she's the reincarnation of the dead witch. Sarah gets harassing phone calls ("I've been waiting for you!") and a masked killer with a steel claw lurks around.This is resolutely typical post SCREAM/I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER fare (supposedly from the "author" of the latter) with offscreen violence, but the performances are surprisingly good and it's watchable, though it all seems like a big build-up to nothing by the end.I didn't know it at the time when I rented the video, but frequent fade-outs to black and someone credited with the teleplay soon made me realize I'd rented a TV movie that was inexplicably (and erroneously!) rated R to bulk up it's distribution value. Don't be expecting to find gore, nudity or four-letter words in this film.
