Reviews

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Michael Ledo Lily (Marissa Pistone) is married to Paul (Arron Kinser) and attends culinary school. When her father Adrian (Doug Jones) dies and is cremated, Paul believes he is haunted by his evil ghost. Lily blames Paul for separating her from her father as the two did not get along. The film is filled with odd going-ons and a multitude of flashbacks with uneven performances.The film is presented in a way that doesn't grab and hold your interest. After an hour of the same old stuff, I found myself growing impatient. It is available at Walmart in a 15 pact of films, "15 American Horror Stories."No sex or nudity.
patrick james The storyline sounded good but the script and acting were so terrible I wanted to throw something through my tv. None of these people should ever work on a movie again, not even as the caterer.
jdspeer-1 Imagine a movie where you wanted all the characters, producers, director, extras and anyone else responsible for making it necessary to follow through with this project to die a slow, painful death. this is that movie. another piece of junk. the acting was filled with over the top and inappropriate reaction to simply situations I read that the female lead Marissa Pistone Graduated magna cum-laude from Chapman University in Orange, California in 2010 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Theatre Performance. What a waste of time, money and recourses, hope you have a strong minor. Arron Kinser, what can I say? He reminded me of those old Kung-Fu flicks from Hong Kong with the over acting - don't watch this movie!
jasonvored After the death of her abusive father, Lily and her husband Paul begin to experience strange happenings throughout their small suburban home, but have the pair fallen under the sinister influence of Lily's father's spirit, or have each of them begun to slip into a state of delusion brought on by their own repressed feelings? It is only by the cruel will of writer and director Arthur Romeo that this piece of garbage would actually be intended for human eyes. CRUEL WILL starts off boringly enough as we delve into the death of Lily's father, and her own dysfunctional marriage. Shortly there after, Paul is forced to question his own sanity as ghostly visions overtake him. The ambiguity here sets up for a decent mystery that pays off in the worst of all possible ways. When Paul finally loses his mind, actor Arron Kinser loses all remaining credibility what is easily the most absurd performance of the year. Kinser is laughably bad, but his supporting actors do their best to distract from his ridiculous display with their own poor portrayals of the other characters. CRUEL WILL is not the least bit terrifying or entertaining. It is a trial in patience that no viewer should ever have to endure.
