User reviews

Other movies along this same story line with better know actors are not as good as this one. Sure it's a somewhat slow movie with a bit of a twist so stay with it till the end. Other reviews say this is a bad movie don't listen to them. Don't go in thinking this is a horror movie, it's not maybe more of a suspense drama. Not a blood and gore film. Short sex scene with 2 shower scene's

If you like this movie check out "The Isle"

Entertaining movie for a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Very drawn out and boring. You can't get into it. Should have had more background about the family.

Broken ghost. Almost like "ghost in the shell", except there is no soul or spirit involved. Imogen needs eye glasses, but instead wears sun glasses. Her parents are unaware of her needs. Pretty sad for a daughter of a pharmacist. Or any educated person. Some BS about something or other. The "unique form of bullying" is undeveloped. Lame idea, even lamer execution.

Stay away from this movie. It is lost time.

Other reviewers obviously worked on the movie. Terrible beyond belief. FF through most of it and it was still a chore. Absolutely nothing happens except The Hills have Eyes is impotent with a woman who you can't possibly be impotent with. Lousy movie gets one extra star for Thompson's incredible beauty. Avoid like the plague.

Initially, the main characters are unsympathetic, but not uninteresting. Some clever misdirection and character development push the story forward. Familiar themes manipulated in novel ways keep some shopworn tropes from feeling stale. I thought the acting was solid and the dialogue, too. Some aspects of the plot seem underfed and I think the story might have benefited from more exposition. The scripted scares were not abrupt jolts (at least for me),more subtle and cumulative. The denouement was a little disappointing, but made more sense than the noisy, heavy-handed Grand Guignol utilized in other examples of the genre. I'd recommend this movie without hesitation.

Bad dialogue, nonsensical direction. No twist ending like some reviewers say, just a bad ending.

02/17/2019 I didn't expect much but got a nice slo-mo building surprise. Not a suspense/thriller, more like a layering of sensible events as they happen that turns into a decent movie. Watch for yourselves and decide. Bon Appetit

My main point of contention is that it doesn't make much sense in the end. All the plot lines cross at some point, but then they continue past each other to become a frayed end of their own. So if you are expecting something that makes sense, don't watch this film. Cinematography is excellent, and the acting decent. Characters seem to be random in their motivations, and they are given some back story that helps us to understand partially why they are the way they are. But overall, I was left uncertain about anything that happened prior, so their characters seem to act out of selfish motivations only. Too bad, as while I enjoyed the watching of the film, the emptiness of it became too much to tolerate to actually enjoy the film.

I tried to like this movie but it wasn't any good the best part was the last five seconds

90 minutes of my life that I can't get back. Makes no sense. There are stories in this movie that don't get explained. No background on any of the people involved. Far fetched scenario and the ending leaves you empty.

This movie didn't keep me engaged. It was too cerebral. I lost interest about 30 minutes into the movie and found myself checking my emails and shopping on websites. I even checked to see how much time was left to watch this movie. I didn't get the ending. A guy who gets shot, all of sudden is strong enough to ride a motorcycle ?? Huh??? Too many loose ends. I don't know, maybe if there was some sort of closure? Or explanation to what happened to the previous family that lived there? Or, if the family, somehow found each other again in reconciliation, understanding? This us prime example of why writers need to see their stories through the audience's eyes...

Have to agree with fredgfinklemeyer, it is worth the time watching it.

The storyline may sound simple but it is much more than that. It might start off a bit slow but it kept me watching and I did enjoy the climax. To go into detail would give away too much of the story.

I enjoyed the cinematography, music and sounds, even the art work and acting. Looking forward to seeing more from the director and all the lead actors.

At first glance, it's definitely not clear what's going on in this movie. We watched it twice and it becomes much clearer the second time around but you have to pay close attention to the drawings. The plot is layered and you have to watch til the end. Well done movie, but not for those who are looking for a simple story. It's mind bending.

Hats off to Abe Pogos and Catherine Hill for the screenplay and story. I liked the slower unfolding and revelation of the essential elements. Plus, I like that we have to wait for some answers, like in real life. The film, to me, has an easy feel and beat to it, like a heart. Regular most of the time, some blips and surprises. Early on, we learn one of the characters is different. Interesting. Already I'm hooked and invested. The level of intensity in performances was equal and solid across the entire cast, and seamlessly natural. Thank you, Richard Gray and anyone else who was part of casting. Finally, a fantastic job by Melissa Ferreira, and her assistant Yvonne Reddy on hair and make up. Even in the close ups later in the film, every detail looked right. All in all, a quiet, interesting, story that touches on some current issues but isn't about them. This is a film about people, produced and acted by people who obviously cared about the project. Nothing pushed, understated, yet I was screaming on the inside for more. I was totally invested in these people, and in the attention paid to the details of everything, no matter how small. I was just there. That rarely happens to me. I write, so I saw the ending coming. Loved it. Perfect. Hence the ten. On this one, writing nudged it up there.
