The movie really just wants to entertain people.

It would be to stretch it by far to say that "Haunting of the Innocent" was an interesting and entertaining movie. Sure it was watchable, but the storyline was just so out of tune that it was embarrassing to bear witness to. There were so many things that didn't make sense, and that were just bordering on being ridiculous.For a thriller, then "Haunting of the Innocent" was a very weak movie, and there wasn't really anything thrilling about it. Sure, I had some hopes for the viking aspect that director Matt Hish tried to incorporate into the storyline, given that I am Scandinavian, but let me just put in kindly, it failed to deliver.The story is about Brenda (played by Jessica Morris) who is married to Tom (played by Rib Hillis). Brenda becomes the victim of sexual assault while Tom is at work, and the incident is taking a heavy toll on their marriage. Together with their son, they seek to distance themselves at Brenda's fathers home far away from the city. But in the small community of Thornby all is definitely not well...Sure, the story did have potential here and there, but ultimately it just failed to deliver and the movie came out ending like a series of shattered fragments and pieces attempted to put together for a greater picture.The storyline progressed slowly without anything overly exciting ever happening, and that resulted in the movie being slow, sluggish and somewhat of a struggle to sit (and suffer) through.And the movie has Judd Nelson brandished on the poster/cover, but what a sham, especially because the guy has less than 5 minutes of screen time.Unless you are a die-hard fan of anyone in this particular movie, then it is hard to come up with a reason for you to waste about an hour and forty minutes on this.

First sign of cheap are no subtitles. Second sign are opening scenes from an overhead or aerial view of car driving on road and either countryside or city. Third sign is the ubiquitous raven that seems to show up every where - perched here, perched there and of course at the end. What it means - who knows. Now if it was filmed on the west coast it would be a crow then that would mean looking for scraps like a flying rat. Fourth sign is overbearing sound effects and music. Fifth sign is the "mysterious woman" who suddenly shows up in the background and sometimes jumps to show up in the next scene foreground. Trite, boring, overused. Sixth sign are the townsfolk - not quite sure about them, we are. Especially when one of them says "Get out while you can!" then coughs up black blood. Seventh sign are the high pitched sounds that seem to effect certain brains. As for the movie - someone dies and the townsfolk are in on it and it has something to do with Viking spirits from long ago or something.

Surprisingly not awful. This one is not going to win any awards, but you do have to admit it is better than most of the stuff that the SyFy channel pumps out every few months, and it is a bit better than most of the Asylum stuff as well. Sort of Nordic, sort of demonic, never really does answer for itself, but the main message that they have hidden in the middle that is becoming a regular movie thing in the past couple of years, and that is that it is time to recognize that Women can not control the way that their bodies react to things that are beyond their control, and should not feel guilty for things done to them ever. None of us can really control our bodies for the first 30 or so years of life, and we need to keep this sort of communication going; even if it has to be through low budget film that we are better educated. Sorry back to the movie itself, I didn't hate it, there was a lot of very artsy direction, and the story is a bit of a mess, but I think I Enjoyed what there was on offer. I do recommend this one, but only to someone looking for a different kind of possession/witchy woman movie, otherwise click on past this one.

This films starts with a rape.It goes further downhill immediately, hurtling through the "cliche" gate and round the bend of "garbage" at frightening knots.Haunting the Innocent is the misnomer of the century, it is sheer torture of the viewing innocent to inflict this pack of drivel on anyone outside of a Black Ops torture chamber.At runaway speed this corpse of inanity splashes into the depths of the eternal sewer of failure, with no plot, no story, no reason, no explanation and no cogent destination.BUT WAIT - IT GETS WORSE !!! Just as some gratuitous nudity and sex appears, the film takes a further turn toward looney tunes, and heads on an unstoppable streak to rock-bottom disaster, taking the entire crew down with it, and no survivors.Honestly you poltroons, how could you dish this up and expect anyone to pay anything at all for it ? Avoid at all costs, an utter stinker and waste of everyone's time.-minus 1 million and a jail term for the writers and producers.
