An Exercise In Nonsense

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

EMPTY ROOMS is yet another indie haunted house flick utterly devoid of any horror content or even any suspense. Bad camerawork abounds in the story of a single mother who moves into a haunted place with her autistic kid, where absolutely nothing proceeds to happen. It's all about wooden acting and trite dialogue and nothing in between.

This was one of those real slow burner horrors that has a single mother moving into a new house with her autistic son. Things get bad for them when a chubby naked man and a toothless woman turn out to be the house ghosts. The ghosts are creepy as hell because they are physically there tossing people around and then just disappear. The family gets torn apart as people don't believe she's being haunted but instead abusing her son.They did this one well with the gradual build up and then it just starts freaking you out. When you see those redneck ghosts the hair will stand up on the back of your neck. Not a huge budget film but I liked it better than those Paranormal Whacktivities. Check it out.

i was impressed with this little movie. i think it might be mis-marketed (is that an expression?) to die hard fans of the genre. there is very little blood. more of a drama about girls with some freaky ghost sexual assaults in it. the pacing is deliberately slow and subtle and only a few horror clichés make an appearance and are then kind of turned upside down. from what i am able to tell, a bunch of obscure artists came together and did something very well with what seems to be no money. the performances are spot on. the director really managed to get them to emote honestly, which is not something you see in most horror movies. what i enjoyed is the fact that it didn't talk down to me. almost felt slice-of-lifey only with ghosts. i'm not really that much of a horror fan. i found this one to be scary enough, though i can see horror fans being irked by how much horror is replaced by skillful drama. this is one for people who like craft, and artful efforts to tell a story with subtlety and no money in the bank. judging by the stats, women are digging this movie more than men. i think i understand why. nonetheless, i loved it. the critics seem to agree.

Reading the 5 reviews I had good expectations of watching a well made ghost horror movie. I was very disappointed. I wasn't scared once and was waiting for this mess to end. The 5 other reviewers only reviewed this movie telling me it's individuals who are affiliated with the making of this movie. Not plot not scares and horrible acting is what wasted 90 mins of my time and this is coming from someone who loves a good ghost story and is always non partial when reviewing a movie. I have learned my lesson. I will do my research instead the reviewers before and not after I watch a movie with unusually great reviews. Thanks for reading.
