Very best movie i ever watch

Crappy film

The first must-see film of the year.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I really liked this movie, although I initially didn't expect it to be much good. Overall it was a really nice afterlife flick.If you're a Christian you might be disappointed, because how you led your life obviously doesn't matter all too much in this version of the "purgatory". Also, "hell" doesn't try to tempt you into going there, being shown blatantly for what it is. That left aside the film actually manages to provide some likable characters. The acting isn't the best of the best, but I've seen much much ... much worse. There is much talk in this film and close to no gore. Still it manages to not get boring. I found the plot easy to follow and the rules of the afterlife simple to understand. There aren't too many rules anyway, if you turn your brains on it comes down to two or three, although they get reiterated from time to time.If you've got a movie night coming up with some friends that don't like gore but still want to have something that would count as a horror movie, this one isn't a bad choice at all.

I thought this movie would be a lot better especially since a lot of the other Stephen J. Cannell straight to DVD movies i've seen were pretty good.Ones like It lives,the garden and room 6 were enjoyable but left in darkness was a good script and good idea but it reminded me more of an all ages movie that you would see on TV.The score was more like a Disney movie and the acting was OK but not great.It was just not scary.I can't believe Steve and the director actually thought it was scary when they said it was in the making of or behind the scenes extra feature.The character of Donovan was the worst written because when he died he was an 8 year old boy,so why was he 20 something all of a sudden when Celia died.I didn't realize you aged after you died.I assumed you stayed the same age.Also why was he her guardian angel while she was alive,and then a demon or devil when she dies.That whole part was stupid and made no sense.It would have made more sense if she met Donovan again as an 8 year old boy the way he appeared to her in a cemetery.But aging him and making him evil is just very inconsistent.And as if a little girl is going to fly through the air after nearly being hit by a car.The monsters looked more like something from a sci-fi or fantasy movie not a horror.It was very predictable and not well executed.I have seen movies with way lower budgets that are actually scary and seemed believable.This one was more of a disappointment.

In agreement with the another commenter, this is an upper class B horror flick. I came across it randomly the other night, and sacrificed much needed sleep because I had to see how it ends. Heaven & Hell movies are intriguing. Anders is impressively precise and mature. His confidence in his lines make his character believable. He has good foreshadowing qualities - a bit of Loki in his eyes. Monica does the horror damsel thing well. She's good at crying, funny at running. Tim Thomerson steals the show with his Soul-Eating Grandpa. Good plot structure - shocking beginning into good filler and wrap it up. I will be adding this one to my archives.

A girl (Monica Keena) is murdered on her 21. birthday and stucked between the real life and the afterlife.I normally like movies about afterlife. But nothing works in this movie. The script was awful, the acting was worse than anything I've ever seen. You can watch Monica Keena in her worst performance. Putting her as the leading character was maybe the biggest mistake of the producer (shooting this movie is the 2. mistake). I could't stand her laughter and actually I was relieved when she died.The only thing good in that movie was David Anders. He did his best even with the hokey dialogue in the script.Summary, don't waste your time and money, go watch Silent Hill or rent the DVD of Darkness.
