CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Rob Mille Worst movie i have ever seen. Only finished watching it to see if it would ever redeem itself. Sadly, the movie never improved. I never write reviews but was so annoyed this movie actually made it this far that i was compelled to do everything i can to help others avoid wasting their time and money on this movie. The best part of this movie is the DVD art on the case. As for the worst part, i cannot narrow that down so i will list them and why i feel that way: Audio quality is intentionally poor, doesn't create any effect other than raising the volume. Dialogue is non existent. I could have written this script in minutes and it would have been less clichéd. Acting is atrocious. Not just the lead actress but everyone. Finally the camera shots and angles and focus are just annoying. It just seems like the kind of movie wanna be indie rock kids say no one else gets cause its sooooo good,then they grow up and realize it sucks when they have kids of their own and their kids make an equally excruciating film in their intro to cinematography class for university of phoenix online. Sorry for the rant, just trust me this movie isn't so bad it comical like sharknado. Its so bad u write ur first review ever just so no one else has to experience cliché after cliché and stereotypical independent film must haves. Anyone that writes a good review is lying or takes offense because they are an equally untalented artist or are friends with someone involved with this travesty.

jamietreetalker I saw this movie in Gettysburg, PA at Phenomenology 105. I don't want to give it away, but you might not think of certain actors in the same way ever again once you've finished with this film. For me, it was extremely disturbing, but loads of fun! I loved the story line and the modern twists inserted into this scary little tale. I thought it was very clever and well executed. I was thoroughly impressed with the cinematography they were able to do on such a small budget. The way the scenes were directed and filmed conveyed very clearly what the filmmaker wanted you to experience. I felt very enthralled, amazed, disgusted, and somewhat uncomfortable throughout most of the film. To me, that's a good film. I think that says a lot for the filmmaker and the actors. Wonderful job!

soonergirl_1976 I was privileged to able to catch a viewing of the Black Dahlia Haunting this past weekend at the Stanley Hotel. This is a wonderful independent film. Suspenseful and disturbing in all the right places . Haunting visual images that leave a very vivid lasting impression in your mind. It is evident the writer did his research thoroughly and stuck to the facts of the main story very closely(location of events, grotesque torture details,background of characters) and then added a few unexpected twists and turns that will keep you on edge. The movie has a solid story line along with great character development. Sadly this movie is based on the true Black Dahlia case that occurred in California in 1947.

joshuatree0103 This profoundly gripping film written and directed by Brandon Slagle was nothing short of brilliant. Slagle took the infamous story of Elizabeth Short, otherwise known as The Black Dahlia, and gave it a uniquely haunting twist that is guaranteed to thrill viewers of multiple genres. His creative writing took this film to a whole new level of intensity and suspense with its supernatural spin and horror combination. Lending to this well told story is the incredible performances by a well chosen cast. Devanny Pinn captivates the audience with her stunning portrayal as the beautiful sister to an institutionalized boy, played by Noah Dahl. Pinn's performance is both persuasive and increasingly disturbing as the main target of brooding evil by both the spiritual realm and the deranged vengeance of Dr. Brian Owen. Britt Griffith gave an amazingly disturbing performance as the dark and calculated psychiatrist (Owen). His superb ability to show the inner struggle between good and evil was absolutely astonishing. Griffith has been compared to Jack Nicolson in "The Shining" and there is no question why. Just like Nicholson, Griffith doesn't even need to speak to evoke a sense of unsettling fear and uncertainty. It's as if his eyes are the window to his soul, and his menacing glare says it all. Let's just say that Griffith is the epitome of creepy and downright unnerving at times. Also noteworthy is the sadistic tension between Griffith and Pinn's characters that, through their synergistic performances, is made palpable. To lend to the creep factor in this film is the performances by Brandon Slagle and Cleve Hall. Slagle left me feeling his characters anguish and despair, while at the same time intriguing me with his crazy and erratic behavior, never sure what his next move might be. Hall portrays a perverse evil that is so sinister that it provokes an immediate sense of anxiety and terror. Alexis Iacono's eerie performance as the spirit of Elizabeth Short was marvelous. A true highlight for Iacono was an edgy shower scene that was well played and convincingly haunting. Jessica Cameron as the lovely Marilyn Monroe was impressive and delightfully entertaining, as was Noah Dahl in his role as a young man who is institutionalized for the murder of his parents. Both Cameron and Dahl were fantastic in their supporting roles adding clout to Slagle's choice in casting. This was one of the most entertaining and intriguing Independent films that I've seen in years. I found myself putting the pieces of the story together while watching intently for additional clues in an attempt to predict the next twist. Slagle kept me guessing, making this a thrilling tale that kept me glued to my seat.
