not as good as all the hype
... View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreI cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreIf i want to explain how I truly feel about this movie, I cannot start from the beginning. No, I must go back even further. It was a cold Sunday afternoon, about 24 degrees. My sister and I (related by blood of course) were sitting within the walls of our heated home (because we did not want to become cold) with nothing to do. We turned on the television and found this movie on the television I previously mentioned. Our cable service is AT&T Uverse. My heart and soul was overcome with an explosion of emotion. After watching this movie, I started to not get so down on the little things in life. The plot was exceptional. Creative and dramatic. I'll be honest, I laughed, I cried, I was a child again watching the film. The acting was some of the best I've seen in years. Everything was phenomenal about this movie except...the ending credits music. I was so confused when I looked online and saw the poor reviews. I was beyond upset that anyone could say something against the picture. In my heart its...well its blasphemy. But the music of the ending credits? Well that is just not how I wanted to film to end. Not that music. It brought back memories..memories I don't care to revisit. A mixture of 90s grunge and Nickleback...the music was unsettling to say the least. So despite this being one of the best movies I have seen in my life, I need to give this rating a 2.
... View MoreI have actually sadly seen worse than this but it greatly tops the charts in a bad one! I found it too incredibly predictable and the lighting where there was much of any at all through the entire movie was far too dim to see much of anything! For the most part it was too dark to identify anything really going on which dropped any interest I may have had right from the start! There were no characters you could relate to or care enough about whether or not they survived which any good or decent movie has! This cast was whiny and not very likable so I honestly didn't care what happened to any of them! I can't believe I made it through the whole thing considering how bad it was but I kept hoping it might actually get any at all better than it actually was! That never happened and all this did is to leave the viewer with questions never answered during the movie! I previously enjoyed things with several of the cast members so I tried to give this a fair chance but it was so unbelievably bad I can't see myself making that mistake again any time soon! I have always tried to be fair about movies and TV shows reserving my thoughts and opinions until I see the things in their entirety and to form my own unbiased opinion however in the case of this story I honestly wish I had read the reviews and opinions of people who had previously seen it because it would have spared me a bad movie viewing and the time spent struggling to watch it all the way through to the very end for what seems like nothing but a horrendous movie experience I can't undo! I think from now on I am going to attempt to read some of what people have to say about something before I spend time viewing it to spare myself this! Future viewers beware!
... View MoreI'm writing this as the movie is still going because I can't commit to watching this anymore. There is so much happening in this movie. Creepy country house, weird little girl, ghost kids?? Or feral what was that about???, shadow figure, country bumpkin murderers, college road trip gone bad, murder pits.... It's a disaster because they don't bother connecting the concepts. It feels thrown together. This is what scares people? Let's us all of it.It's writing assuming your audience is too stupid to need a plot that makes sense. It works for some horror movies, but this just wasn't scary on top of it.The dialogue felt improvised, badly. The plot devises to separate the group to kill everyone off was terrible. There was no carry-over in motivations (Lucy was so important and then they sit on the porch and cuddle and forget about looking for her, and then later they see a shadow figure but she completely forgets about it and sits in the house crying with Lucys mom)The whole thing devolves into nonsensical chaos (which I'm watching now) which still. Isn't. Scary. It doesn't have to be a genius plot to be a good movie. Any kind of effort in a coherent plot, character motivation, and dialogue would be nice. This had none of that.EDIT oh of course it was a demon children movie. Thank god it also managed to include a scene with sexual assault and a girl running half naked because that was what this movie was lacking //sarcasm
... View MoreI must say I didn't like this film. Allow me to summarise the ludicrous plot for you.Some kids find a lost girl at a roadside diner and decide to drive her home. Once there the parents of the lost child come home and invite the kids to stay. Everyone gets drunk and high. The Mom of the little girl cuts her leg with an axe then the parents of the year drive off to the hospital leaving their child in the care of a bunch of drunk young strangers. Then a load of stuff happens that is very tiresome, nonsensical and boring. The acting is good by the two main leads it's just that the story is never really engaging. Also it's one of those movies where the plot is fairly vague with reasons for what's happening and I didn't really care enough about it afterwards to try and reason anything out. There was a pretty weak twist in the end that added nothing to the enjoyment factor. The effects aren't great either a bit of blood some poor CG overall a bit lazy.Certainly not one I'd recommend.
