Simply A Masterpiece

Overrated

Good movie but grossly overrated

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

June: A Devil Child or The Devil in female form, or just possessed of Psychic Powers? A mother and father, members of a Satanist Cult, hand over their baby daughter June to the Cult for a Summoning, In the midst of the Ritual the mother slits the throat of the Satanist Priestess, but it seems to be too late.Sent from one foster home to another, June reacts badly to maltreatment. Elictriciry cuts off, wild winds come from nowhere, Poltergeist style activity ensues , A social worker seems to understand June's predicament and places her with a better family. But he seems to report to a mysterious supervisor, always over the phone.June blames an invisible friend/spirit called Aer for the strange occurrences..Shades of Carrie and The Omen, Polteregeist but a watchable Horror Film in its own right. 6/10.

Tale about a young orphaned girl and her demonic alter ego Aer, as she is moved from trailer trash foster home to nice but childless couple. Naturally there is an evil plan at work. This movie is pretty well acted and filmed, is easily watchable but as a horror film it is very tame. I picked it up from Poundland so can't grumble, though I'll be passing my copy on.

"Stop it, Aery. Why are you doing this? You are a vessel. Before people, before machines, there is only us."Mix the ingredients from several successful films and you get as end result something like "June". It's not terribly bad, but it isn't very original and exciting either. Even the biggest coward can effortlessly watch this film with all the lights off. "June" is the least creepy horror I've ever seen. Do you remember Drew Barrymore as Charlie in "Firestarter", the sweet girl who could cause a fire just by thinking of it? Or Carrie in the eponymous film who sow the seeds of death and destruction when she was p*ssed off? June (Kennedy Brice) has similar, telekinetic powers when she gets angry. Or is there a demonic force at work making her as possessed as Regan in "The Exorcist"? Eventually, it all has to do with a primal force called "Aer", which took possession of June during an occult rite. A rite that wasn't finalized perfectly. During that ceremony June was taken away by one of the participants at the last minute. Lets start with the positive remarks. Although it clearly is a low-budget film, there are still some successful fragments. First there's the changing appearance of June. In particular her eyes. Not that it's innovative, but it reinforced her demonic character. As well as the limited number of scenes where we can witness June's strength. Like for example at the barbecue. But above all, I had great admiration for the young actress Brice. There wasn't much dialogue for her. Probably because of her rather timid and introverted personality. But in general she looked really natural as a young, fragile girl who has to deal with her inner demon. An everyday struggle, attempting to maintain control.What remains is simply doom and gloom. The shown ritual at the beginning looks really kitschy and when the cult members call upon Aer to take possession of June and this power descends, it just looks as if the wisps of smoke are pasted on the image. Terrible special effects in other words. And there were a few situations that really annoyed me. Firstly, apparently the conditions to be suitable as adoptive family, are abominably bad when you look at the first family. An asocial family with a fat guy resembling Onslow (from Keeping Up Appearances) and a cigarette smoking bimbo who probably works as a prostitute. Compared to them, Lily Anderson (Victoria Pratt) and Dave Anderson (Casper van Dien) are outright saints who radiate comprehensive affection. They're impatient to take on the task of caring father and mother. Perhaps a little overdone because already the first night they start asking June the pertinent question whether or not she wants to call Lily her "Mommy". With disappointed looks as a result of course. This was totally implausible and totally stupid.But especially the storyline is a huge disappointment. Nothing spectacular happens so to speak. The end of the film is so trivial, I can't even remember what it was anyway (perhaps I fell asleep). So if you never saw "Carrie", "Firestarter", "The Exorcist" or any other film whatsoever with a possessed, demonic character who has control over psychic powers, then you should definitely give this one a chance.

No spoilers here...the film speaks for itself.This film had little budget...total indie job. You have to give credit where it's due. Excellent script, hell of a story. The premise of the story is enough to make the hardest horror-fan cringe. Evil kids...ever since The Omen, they are a popular part of the horror genre. The kid in this is a great little actor, and I think she portrayed the "infiltrated" child quite well.Yeah, the acting could use some work, and the cinematography, but for what they had to work with, I give it thumbs way up. If you like indie-horror, watch this one.
