Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
karlmardson One of the most underrated horror films ever made, this made for TV film shows how to employ atmosphere and vibe on a minimal budget and get away with flying results. The entire film, shot on 16mm film and shot on location is scary from start to end. The story is already pretty well known- A young solicitor is invited to a far flung location to see a strange happening: A female ghost terrorizing the land. It is based on a novel and a famous Daniel Radcliffe version was also made recently in 2012, but this is the film to watch in my opinion.
undeaddt I still don't understand why this movie is labeled as a drama-fantasy movie when it is obviously a clean horror movie. I loved the film. Daniel is one hell of an actor and he showed it again here. The tension building and the atmosphere are over the top with the typical dark british weather. The only thing that I didn't like were some of the typical horror movie scenes, especially the scenes with the dog barking and the moving chair, but still, it is one of the better horror movies I've watched in recent time.
Rainey Dawn One of the best modern day ghost stories you'll will ever watch. I saw this one 3 or 4 years ago and recently watched it again - just as good the second time around. Would be a great one in a horror film collection.I will not rehash the storyline, I'll just reiterate how good the movie is. There are a handful of jump scares done in good taste.Atmosphere - lots of it! Good acting - you bet ya! Good story - yes it is. There are a handful of jump scares done in good taste, eerie subtle horror, suspenseful at times - definitely worth watching. It's just as good as the classic Hammer Horror films. 9/10
Mihai Toma A young lawyer visits a remote village, sent by his firm, in order to complete a series of paperwork. There, he's confronted with a ghost which, with every apparition, takes the life of local children as revenge for some gruesome past events. He starts investigating but the whole world turns upside down when he discovers that his own son is in grave danger.Although interesting as a base idea, it isn't able to keep you attracted as the story unravels, the main character being literally chasing shadows most of the movie, mainly with no results. It has a very dark and spooky atmosphere, almost perfect for this type of movie but its actions are far from pleasing. Besides some scarce dialogue and frightening encounters, almost nothing interesting happens. You want to find out how it ends but it's a bit hard to endure basically the same thing, repeating over and over again.It is grim, it is sinister at times and it has a catchy plot, but its course of events is a bit letdown, not to mention the unsatisfactory finale which, in my opinion, makes the whole struggle before it simply pointless. An average movie after all.
