NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
mccainphn-520-697287 Long story short, the eldest daughter has the hots for her FATHER (!!!!} and wants his new girlfriend out of the picture especially since she already killed her Mother so that daddy can be all hers
oneinamil-133-984828 Eldest daughter gets jealous when her dad brings a new woman into the family 5 years after her mother dies. Since she's moved in something supernatural is happening and it isn't friendly. The eldest daughter is very protective of her dead mother's necklace, but something else clings to it too and it trying to warn the family of danger. The ending has a nice twist to it. Worth waiting for. Loved this mystery/thriller.
Colonial-Oak Folks, this is a decent horror flick. Its no Academy Award winner, but it doesn't suck either.I saw TOTEM on Saturday 11/18/17 on HBO when it was rated as 4.3/10 and I'm glad I watched it despite the questionably low rating. Its got a good plot, some good scares, a cool plot-twist at the end, and is overall a decent horror flick.Now I'll be the first to admit I watch movies for enjoyment - I'm not pretentious nor do I study a flick for tone, cinematography, screen writing, editing, lighting, sound, etc. Albeit obvious, I'm an American conservative guy, and my favorite genre's are Horror/Suspense, Action/Adventure, Westerns, Crime/Legal, War/Military, etc. ... and I tend to keep my movie "reviews" simple.I either:1) Loved it - awesome2) Liked it - not too bad, or3) Hated it - it suckedIf you like horror movies and aren't bent on a movie being perfect, you'll like it - and yes it is worth the 90 minute investment in time, and the Red Box fee (if any). I almost gave it a 7 (its a very high 6). Again, its no 10, but certainly is no 4 ...
jrneptune The actors did a great job from what I could tell. The director, Marcel Sarmiento, is well known for Deadgirl, which I have not seen but many where hopeful he would top. Although Marcel is credited for writing the story, the story and screenplay was written by Evan Dickson, of which it is Evan's first feature film.The movie starts off with an interesting premise and held my attention the first half. The cinematography is fine but later it becomes obvious they were working with a limited budget.Two-thirds into the movie things start to go awry and although the pace picks up I felt the story gets more unbelievable not just in decisions that are made but with distractions that make it obvious there might have been editing issues.The saving grace is there is a twist at the end that most people would not have seen coming but it was not enough for me to say it is a must see unless you are a fan of the actors or the director.
