Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

walkers12 Like most of the reviews I too watched this based on the wrong movie information from satellite or the movie channel. I however did enjoy the movie. It was a scary psychological thriller movie. From the beginning they had you bond with the character by starting as a documentary about the main character's phobia. I watched it alone in the dark and it had me on edge of my seat through much of it. With close up shots, the dark lighting and scary music I thought it was much scarier than slasher flicks or very far fetched stories. The main character had a tough time with reality which made it scarier. It's plot was all over the place and confusing at times. I think much more could have been done with the plot but it was still entertaining to me.

kat_astrophi I had high hopes to see a decent independent film with Ms. Moreau as an interesting female lead who is recovering from her unique phobia of big spaces. First part was fine, showing her issue through the lens of a documentary, and how she has overcome her fear and is living in a nice cabin house in the mountains with her new husband.If they had focused the movie on her phobia (which she played effectively) and the scary old woman that triggered it (and somehow killed her childhood friend? This does not get explained) I would have probably enjoyed the film. But no, they had to throw a bunch of stuff at you that didn't make sense. Some demons/spirits are tangible, others disappear? The house was the scene of 'dead bodies' but we don't know how/why they died? There's going to be a baby sacrifice? And her husband's in on it? And maybe at the end she is possessed? Don't look for explanations because they give none.Technically speaking, Marguerite Moreau is a pretty good actress although for most of the movie she just runs around scared and crying and hiding. The male lead was, so-so. The young female was kind of bad although in her defense the writers mostly made her act like a teen brat who waves a gun around and demands her baby back. The special effects were laughably bad and not sure why they even included them. Music was so-so. The lighting was irritating because many scenes were so dark that rather than scare me they just confused me.To sum up, the writers did a nice job introducing the set-up but then proceeded to destroy everything by never tying up loose ends and leaving you remembering only the bad effects and confusing plot. Don't watch this film. It's pretty bad.

zerobeat What's starts out with an interesting situation devolves into one of the stupidest hackneyed menu of random "scary" stereotypical imagery and scenes ever.Before I watched it, I noted the description, something like "woman with mental problems...". Well, it turns out there's another movie of the exact same name in 2009 with a vaguely similar premise. But when I went to IMDb to check the reviews (just the ratings), I thought I was checking up on THIS movie. The ratings for the other one are quite decent. So I thought I'd take a chance and see the movie (or what I thought was it).All through the movie (well, past the half hour mark... it's decent up until that time) I'm wondering what drugs those reviewers are on, or how much they were paid to write false reviews, or if the reviews were all written by the film makers directly.Directly after the movie ended I logged onto IMDb to investigate such false allegations of a good movie and lo and behold after I started actually reading the reviews (and not just look at the ratings) I discover that they can't possibly be talking about THIS movie.If I do one positive thing before I die, if might be to lower your expectations about this movie enough so that you expect crap, but come away pleased that there was indeed *some* good stuff about it.

Mad Hatter I watched this movie on one of those days when you're ready to just sit back, relax and hopefully get treated to something really great that you just can't wait to tell somebody about. Well...it sucked, and now I feel obligated to sit in the reviewers corner with the other disenchanted viewers who kept waiting for something, anything, to happen in this film.We generally give every film a fighting chance at least for the first 20 minutes right? Even if it's creeping along as the characters are developed and the plot is revealed,I can usually be fairly patient, but instead I found myself clock watching till it was almost over.One of my biggest pet peeve's is the overuse of extreme darkness in a film, it's impossible to watch especially if you're watching a movie during the day, and there's ambient daylight falling on your TV. The only revealing thing about this situation is it shows you how many fingerprints are on your TV screen. With a four year old in the house, that means many.As far as the characters I'm a little biased since I'm a huge Colin Hay fan, I wanted him to be good in this, but the script didn't allow it. Mr. Hay in my opinion is by far one of the most talented musicians out there however this script bound him to a mediocre at best character.I thought the main character Lee was believable and as neutral in personality as Nick's, but perhaps it was the two like personalities,the overuse of darkness, and the "baby thing" thrown in at the last minute that left me with a feeling akin to buying that gotta have it gizmo thing from a late night info-mercial only to be sadly disappointed when you finally open the box.All in all I think some good talent got sent straight to video on a slow train to nowhere.
