Wonderful character development!

Best movie ever!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Dad dead. Mom a basket case. Boy is withdrawn. Furniture moves. Dishes break as well as other low budget effects. Plot drags along with a "twist" that is expected. Film was tiresome. Lara Lemon only thing worth watching.Guide: F-word, sex. No nudity.

The makers of the film use all the tricks of horror/psychological thrillers: messed up kid, clueless woman, doors slamming, killed pet, shadows, quick glimpse of ghost, curtains blowing, eerie music, falling items, None are used effectively. Along with an inept script, all this ads up to a pretty boring movie. Just one question though: what does the aunt do that she can afford such a large house with such fine furnishings? Is she a lottery winner or what?

DEADLY INTENT is another non-event of a ghost story, made on an indie budget and with absolutely nothing to recommend it. It's a small-scale domestic drama made in Britain and exploring the subject of grief, as a soldier's death abroad leads a mother and her child into a downward spiral. When mysterious events start to surround the boy, the mother begins to suspect that the husband's ghost is the root cause. Very little happens here and the novice cast members simply aren't up to the job of convincingly delivering their dialogue. The end result? Nothing more than a boring mess of a movie.

DEADLY INTENT is a really fun and mysterious ride! As some other reviewers wrote, Deadly Intent is seriously scary. Whether it's paranormal activity at home or losing a family member, it ratchets up the tension at every turn making this a great indie psychological thriller that veers into paranormal horror seamlessly. The story sets itself up and just when you think you know where it's going, it keeps you guessing and engaged. Additionally, this film feels like a big-budget film, technically flawless, with exceptional performances, Deadly Intent delivers the goods! Cheers!
