Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This movie has a very low rating, one that it does NOT deserve. As this movie is more of a suspense building religious horror film designed for people who are interested in watching an intelligent "Hitchcock style" film that will grind on your nerves and make you look twice in the shadows. I am afraid that many viewers were expecting a slasher style blood and guts jump-scare movie. Not so with this one. Ghosts, demons and dark iconology scare the viewer into a dark place. This is a good film, one that achieves its goal of installing terror and making you think about it afterwards. Bravo to the director on creating something unique in a genre overrun with splatter fest and cheap gore.Watch this one if you have a keen intelligence and want something different.

It's hard to write a decent review for this movie as it's so slow and hardly anything interesting happens in there. It is basically about a man named Leon who returns to the house of his deceased mother and is walking around there looking for memories of his past and his mother. We don't get to see any other actor but him in the flesh. There is no other location but the house, he does leave it once I believe to run rapidly inside again when he sees some kind of monster. However that looks to be some kind of hallucination so there is never any real danger. The other actors we only hear the voice or when he watches some kind of tape. Hearing the voice of his mother trying to get in touch with her son, it was interesting but there didn't seem to be a goal, a conclusion and hardly any story. The only thing it had going was its nice visuals and setting with a few interesting special effects. I don't really give low scores often but this one really felt empty to me.

The movie in one and a half lines: A guy moves to his recently passed away mother. Totally random, no sense and useless things happen.The end.Don't try to act like a movie expert that feels the art of this piece and is capable of understanding a hundred of ideas passed by the it... Just accept: this movie sucks more than everything.I don't need bloody, scary movies, what I need is movies that express something interesting. And what this one expresses is boring as... There is no word for this.My advice: don't waste your time watching this. The trailers look really good (the movie actually has some good elements), but it evolves to nothing and boringness.

When I had just finished watching this film, last night, I needed to punch the writer in the face. For real.Clive Barker called this film 'Unique'? Really? Well I guess it is a completely new way to disappoint an audience.This is a style of writing I classify as 'Eggs In One Basket' - you are completely pivoting the entire plot on one thing impressing your viewers. Fail that, and the entire thing fails. And it did.I can see what the author was trying to do, and this is what I mean by 'redeeming features' - so much implied stuff, forcing your imagination to do the scare. That was rather nice, and very creepy.But they got something wrong, oh so wrong:They gave expectations.Expectations that were never delivered upon. Up comes the final scene and ...I'm writing this the next day now, which I made myself do - I needed to calm down. As I say, I badly wanted to punch somebody, the author being the most logical choice.Now that I've gained some perspective, and got over the bitter, stinging disappointment the film ultimately delivers, I can see some merit in it.But not much.3/10, up from 1/10.Now don't do it again!
