Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

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

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

vmalast This movie had more holes you could drive a truck through! I'm not one to give a movie a bad review, this one was bad and not in a good way. The acting was fine but the script was horrible! Horror movies are, by nature, supposed to be far fetched, not realistic but, come on. Youngest daughter very ill but no one thinks about Dr or hospital before it's to late. Oldest daughter leaves little brother to fend for himself. Heck, there is more concern in slasher flicks. Skip this flick.

Finfrosk86 Effect tip: putting a blurred out effect on a sharp background - yeah, that's gonna look fake.OK! So, I chose to watch this movie, even when knew it had a (current) score of 4.4 here on the site. That's low, especially for a rather big, no, comfortable budget horror movie like this.. but is it a fair score? Well, it's not too far off. Let me just say it: It's a shame. This could have easily been a lot better. There's some cool looking imagery. Some good makeup, and some cool effects. Unfortunately those cool effects come back to back with some not that good effects. The story is.. well, not terrible, but not exactly incredible either. Leaves some loose ends. The acting is satisfactory. But with all that (kind of) going for it, why is it bad?One problem is the pacing. The pacing is not good. There's no horror, until suddenly *bam* there's a way too long horror scene. The first time we see something scary, it's on screen for far too long. What an annoying mistake to make in a horror movie. The first time you see something scary in a horror movie, you should only see it for half a second. Or less. Another problem is lack of tension. There are few scary scenes, and the few scary scenes are not scary. It was one quick little shot that was slightly creepy, but that's pretty much it.So, to sum up. It's not scary, but has some cool imagery. The pacing is off, the horror is little, but the acting and production values are good enough for it not to suck too bad. It's not really boring, and that's why it's not that bad. Also, Rebekah Brandes looks damn good in a tank top. And she plays a teenager, but she's like 28 in real life. Good for her.Oh yeah, there's religion. Stupid, stupid religion. You are warned.

podgorny_alex I am not usually someone to write anything but this time I had to warn you guys. This movie was a huge waste of time and I would like to help people save that time for better movies. The plot was very slow, lots of stupid things that did not make sense. Acting was horrible. I would not recommend that movie to people who watched all movies ever created and that one was the last in their collection before they passed away... Sorry for the harsh review but I just hated it. The trailer was great, the movie disappointed BIG time. I was hoping to get a seriously scary movie, I love the adrenaline. Nothing left to fear gave me zero fear. I am so glad I did not waste my money to see this in a cinema.

aliciagregg This an okay movie. Good if you need to kill a couple of hours. However, the plot line is bizarre. You are left wondering why they do the things they do. The story does not set you up with any background on the town, and why the townspeople are so weird. Also, they say this is based on events and urban legends surrounding Stull, KS. They missed the mark, and then over exaggerated it. This storyline has nothing to do with anything that has ever happened in Stull, KS. Also, Stull, KS had two strange murders years ago, and is barely a town. It is unincorporated. There is an old church and cemetery where they say satanic rituals are performed, and a few houses, and a few other buildings. Regarding the real Stull and the old church - for reasons unknown to anyone including the land owner, someone tore down the old tiny brick church a few years ago. It is a pile of rubble. However, there is still a staircase underneath the ground, that leads down to no-where. They say that is a gateway to hell and you will feel a powerful pull if you start down the stairs, and lose all track of time (like weeks). And people who have camped near the cemetery have reported seriously bizarre stuff and sounds. There is nothing like the real Stull legends in the movie.Regarding the movie, the children/young adult actors in this movie dominate the film, and if it weren't for them, it would be pretty robotic and dull. Heche was not into this movie at all, it seemed like she felt obligated to be there. Bottomline -- it's definitely more bizarre than scary, so watch it if you are bored and you have seen every other scary flick with a higher rating.
