Simply A Masterpiece
... View Morean ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
... View MoreThis film is the same as many other horror movies. It really does try to build a story, to give reality to the characters, but it doesn't succeed. It has the feeling of someone making this with borrowed equipment after having written a script within a very short amount of time...While taking lots of liberties from other recent films.The acting is bad and not believable in the least. All the scenes jump around with no connection other than a desperate attempt to show daily life. But it only seems disjointed and haphazardly done.This film is painful and slow, best left un watched. Considering the amount of awards on the front cover from unknown events or festivals, that should have been a clue.
... View MoreSo don't go diving into this, expecting razor sharp, cutting edge thriller stuff, because it's just not going to happen. My only complaint with the entire movie, was with the ending...which led more questions then answers resolved. Other then that, the film did a decent job of keeping my attention, wondering what would happen next. It's at times confusing, and leaves you thinking to yourself weather or not all of this is really happening, or is it just all in the mind? ( You'll know why about the 50 minute mark of the film). All of this supposedly really happened to a real family? That will be up to you to decide weather this is fact or fiction. ( I do believe, for example, that The Amittyville Horror was a real haunted house, however, I think a lot of fiction was filled in there. This is not Amittyville Horror.) So what are your thoughts on possession, anyway? Random, or are there certain people chosen for it? Is this all possession, or is someone thinking they're possessed, and doing all sorts of weird things? Some ideas to think about before you go into watching this, and perhaps you may enjoy it better, and prevent from giving it another low rating review.
... View MoreWhen the directors are the writers; the writers are the actors; and the directors/writers/actors' spouses are also actors, your best bet is to walk away as quickly as you possibly can. Where in the world did these people get funding for this piece of junk? Did somebody's mother die and leave them a fortune in real estate or something? The plot is ridiculous; laughable. The acting is something you might see in a high school musical; the cinematography, the score, the dialog, it's all completely horrible. I apologize for not being able to prove that the good reviews of this film were written by crew members--I don't have the resources for that. But anybody with half a brain will realize that's what happened here. The most disgraceful use of celluloid, plastic, bandwidth, and electricity I've ever witnessed. Run away--run away as fast as you can.
... View MoreI had to rate it 5 stars, was quite close to 6 but I think it is more fair like this and I am going to explain why.Well, you see, the movie looks just like an ordinary one. Nothing new, nothing special, a film like so many you've seen before, especially if you're into the horror section. As time passes, it does exactly what you'd expect to do, same moves, same lines, same reactions.Yet it manages to surpasse the most out there because it has a plot, an ending, a destination, it knew where it was heading to so it had to build a road. For that, for that nice parking place it got, I almost graded it 6 stars. There was more needed to it tho.So if you're a horror junkie and you're loaded with lots of patience, this one might be an interesting choice for the night. Do not expect a masterpiece, not even a good movie, but a different and possibly interesting approach.Cheers
