That was an excellent one.
good back-story, and good acting
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
Amish Amy (Jessica DiGiovanni) has returned from Rumspringa and becomes a devout member of the community. Her brother Daniel (Clayton Myers) has chosen not to return and is now shunned. Amy is being courted by Robert (Kurt Mason Peterson) who does not believe she has the power to see evil souls. This is an odd Lancaster, Pa. community, one where women pluck their eyebrows and only older members of the community have Pa. Dutch accents. Amy can see evil souls and is sought out by outsider Chris (Christopher Atkins) to help her clean her community of evil with a combination of lemons, dolls, and chanting.The few special effects are low budget CG, something you might expect from a bad 90's film. The plot lacked depth and the actors lacked the ability to deliver convincing lines. If you can make it through the entire film it is worth one punch of your "hacker card."Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
View MoreI'm better at watching slow moving plots than most.. I did enjoy it but if you're horror movie experienced, looking for anything more than a college production, it's not for you.. The first 60 minutes, I kept thinking a commercial would liven it up but after that, I enjoyed the simple effects and the story got interesting.. I'm glad I know about the Amish culture or I might have been a bit lost..I'd watch it with my religious old mother, and I believe it would scare a slumber party full of 12 year old girls..The actress playing Amy did a fine job.. Chris Atkins (from Blue Lagoon fame who never really got good rolls after that) was very watchable and the rest of the crew held their own and were believable but it is a low budget film and it shows.. AND like I said, I liked it but not enough to watch it again and I love watching good movies twice..
View MoreA great, fun way to spend an evening, especially if you enjoy horror movies. A story line mixing the insanity of demonic possession, and the trapped, isolated feelings of the Amish make for a fun, suspenseful experience.The acting and special effects may leave people wanting more, but the script and plot will keep you wanting more. I have seen a lot of possession themed films, most being pretty non-original. Amy is different. The back drop of Amish life makes for a more stressful, chaotic, unpredictable film.If you enjoy movies about possession, and exorcism like Carrie, or The Exorcist, this is for you!
View MoreAmy is a psychological horror film. It's about evil taking over an Amish community. There is a lot of suspense. It keeps you guessing. I was watching on the edge of my seat practically through most of the movie. The film doesn't have a ton of gore. It's more you get a feeling of a sense of impending doom as opposed to physical danger. The ending is great, you won't see it coming. And the acting is very good. I haven't seen Jessica DiGiovanni, who plays Amy, in movies before, but I'm sure I'll see more of her after this movie. And Christopher Atkins from "The Blue Lagoon" is in this movie also. He plays a creepy funeral director. I liked this movie. I would recommend to all horror movie fans out there.
