I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Sadly Over-hyped

Please don't spend money on this.

Let's be realistic.

"Bind" and "American Conjuring" are the same film. A family takes possession of a haunted house and vice versa. Ghost film turns into a slasher and Darren Matheson's character turns the movie into a stinker. The acting was bad and the drama written for the couple didn't make any sense...and speaking of no sense what was the do-over? Where did that suddenly come from? The other stupid twist would have been better if the audience knew about it, which would have explained why "dad" had a "stick up his.." and mom wasn't much better. .Then there is the moody 17 year old daughter (Mackenzie Mowat) who hates her step-dad and half-sister. She is not allowed to say the "S" word, but has a smart phone cover with the "F" word spelled out. Go figure that parenting.Would have been decent if they had been able to script a better character for Ben without the cliché lines.Guide: F-word. brief sex. Some gore with sledge hammer, knife, drill, and ax.

Easily gotta say that the worst part about this was the acting. It was really sad. Too forced and just...BAD.the real horror in this movie is the horrifying thought of realizing that you have wasted your time on it.story line...seen in so many movies before, no special twists or anything like that, so you are stuck between pushing terrible acting thoughts and knowing what's going to happen anyway.I guess that's a good one when you are really bored or can't be bothered about what's on the screen. BAD.nothing else to say really.

I watched this as part of my usual Halloween horror marathon without expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. Okay it's not exactly groundbreaking, but for anyone who likes horrors anyway it moves along nicely with plenty of varied events throughout to keep you interested.I'm not going to say it's overly original, although it certainly has fresher ideas than some movies out there, and the acting in the first 10 minutes/some of the makeup is woeful, but once you get past the opening and get into it there's an entertaining enough film.It has no similarity to The Conjuring at all, and would have avoided any comparison and been viewed more favourably had it stuck to it's original title of Bind.

This film was originally called Bind but then they decided to do some marketing scam in conjunction with the Conjuring films. They figured it needed it and they were right. This is one awful movie so if they don't get you buying it by mistake, chances are you won't.A family moves into a house that used to be an orphanage at one time. Tragic events took place making even more tragic events take place and so on. The film has a few things moving on its own but the crux of the hauntings are more of the spirit taking over someone's body to make them kill. The acting was so bad in this and the ending was one of the worst I've seen in a long time. Avoid this one.
