Purely Joyful Movie!

Perfectly adorable

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This was one of those films I first saw when I awoke in the middle of the night and just turned the TV on. Even after seeing it I didn't know its name until a year later. Sometimes that is when you find an interesting hidden gems.This vampire movie is more of a drama. It had its blood and gut parts, and the seductive erotic part as well, but this is no fantasy Twilight, Interview with a Vampire tween I wish I could date a vampire crap that is usually pushed on us.It was well acted by the entire cast. I honestly wouldn't even call it a monster/vampire/horror movie. It's more of a drama about twisted family dysfunction. It is really a slow movie and that is really my only real criticism but it's worth watching. If you really want to know what vampires would probably be like if they really existed...Try this one

Meet The Hamiltons: oldest brother David, who likes to murder transient homosexuals; twins Wendell and Darlene, a couple of sadistic nut-jobs who delight in suffering and incest; tortured soul Francis, who reluctantly assists his family in their gruesome activities; and Lenny, who remains unseen for most of the film, locked in a room in the basement.The opening scene of The Hamiltons, which sees a pretty woman waking to find herself bound and gagged in a grimy hellhole full of bloody surgical implements, made me think that I was in for yet another predictable ho-hum psycho-killer/torture horror, and to be honest, much of what followed did little to alter this perception. The story rarely strayed from the expected hoary clichés of that sub-genre, with only Francis's internal battle with his conscience being of any real interest. The acting was passable, and the direction perfunctory.To my surprise, however, writers/directors The Butcher Brothers pack in a pretty neat twist at the end of their film which actually helped me to forgive some of the preceding mundanity, although I can't help but feel that the whole thing would have been much more successful overall had they not relied so much on their clever ending to completely save the day. Despite the film's subject matter, this one frustratingly holds back on the graphic sex and violence; had they'd been a little more daring in these departments, this could have been something really special.

This begins like it's going to be a kinky sex and torture film, with sequences featuring beautiful young women captured and strung up in a dungeon-type area. For a better idea concerning where the story is going, try to pay more attention to the "narration" given by protagonist Cory Knauf (as Francis), youngest of "The Hamiltons" family. As Mr. Knauf explains, the family began moving around after the death of their parents. The head of the family becomes eldest son Samuel Child (as David), who the script winks might be gay. The middle two siblings are twins Joseph McKelheer (as Wendell) and Mackenzie Firgens (as Darlene), who have an incestuous interest in sexual three-ways. The family has one of those "dark secrets" you often see in movies like this...Anyone questioning "The Hamiltons" secret should keep an eye on Knauf's teeth...Although the secretive screenplay is neither original nor unpredictable, filmmakers Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores do score some points by playing around with a different delivery than you might expect from the opening; for whatever reasons, they didn't go far enough. There are several gaping, unfilled plot holes. The three men really look and act like brothers. Goth-tinged sister Firgens must be a fraternal twin. Another sibling is hidden away; however, when you look at "The Hamiltons" story as a whole, this really wasn't necessary. The haunting end title song "What I'm Running From" by Pete Johnson highlights the film's musical luster.***** The Hamiltons (11/19/06) Mitchell Altieri, Phil Flores ~ Cory Knauf, Samuel Child, Joseph McKelheer, Mackenzie Firgens

Hamiltons,is one of the movies featured in the after dark horrorfest 2006.The movie is about a family which actually appears strange ,and they are hiding a secret about their existence.Into the movie and you will notice one thing for sure that the family is not normal but what are they and what they want ?Nothing much is explained or implied,so you have to keep your senses out and enjoy whatever is being shown.But still if you are a horror movie fan like me then you will be impressed with some of the sequences and amount of gore in the movie.Overall,there isn't much to say about this movie apart from the fact it gives you a good company when you want to spend a lonely night..!!!
