To me, this movie is perfection.

Powerful

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I can't believe that people would give this movie a terrible rating! I think you must be a complete amateur to give this movie any less then 7 because its is beautifully made, very realistic actor and actresses and completely heart warming as well as keeping you wanting to find out more! Just because it doesn't have blood and guts splattering all over gods creation, don't mean it's a terrible movie, much less a movie for little kids!! I will agree that maybe it shouldn't have been listed under horror and more like thriller but that's not the movies fault, it's whomever listed it under that category! And when u give it a bad rating, it messes with people thinking that the actual movie sucks when it's the listers fault! Some people may not watch or rent it then! Anyways (end rant) GREAT MOVIE!! Must see!!

Well, I just finished this movie. It's interesting but my Summary pretty much says it all. I put off watching it because I thought it had Stephen Dorff (the hot one) and not Brad Dourif (voice of Chuckie). I think you have to be from the south and/or understand a southern mentality to kind of appreciate the disturbing mental drain that is played out in the movie. There is a great deal about the plot that is very messy and oddly placed. I mean honestly it reminds me of the old series Tales from the Crypt. It isn't really SCARY as I thought it would be. It's more drawn out and disturbing more so than anything else. It was shocking to think that the soft male lead is that long-haired pot smoker in the TV series Mom. Wow he went from twink to stud! You probably should skip this movie unless you are looking for a take on a ghost story meets Romeo and Juliet meets some strange bits of supernatural incest. It would have been better if they had cut out most of the actors/scenes and spent more time building Amanda's back story.

Well, this movie won't make you feel very cheerful. Rather depressed, yes. However, the movie poster gives a distorted impression. You actually expect still a bit of a creepy movie. The girl looks ill-treated and tortured in this picture ... in the end it's just a love story, interwoven with a crime in the past with restless souls as a result. Eli met such a restless soul in the guise of Amanda (handsome appearance I must admit) and unravels bit by bit the whole story. And indeed, the end does not cheer you up.Brad Dourif as Waylon, the owner, I found exquisite. The somewhat unworldly strange fellow, balancing between kindness / anxiety and hostility in a teeny weeny bit insane trait.For me, Spencer Daniels played the hardest part ... As far as I know, I've never seen a movie where someone had to look so sad and dull the whole movie.However, it's a movie that is worth a look. And that because of the beautiful scenery and the haunting music.More reviews at http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/

At first I thought the movie seemed silly, but it quickly proved otherwise. It is a very haunting love story. Very well done. Alexia Fast has a great handle on the accent. The progression is slow. It isn't chock full of action, but it doesn't need to be. It's a walk through the supernatural, not running from explosions and jumping through glass. It's nothing like the Blair witch clones or the paranormal activity clones. It's no slasher. I won't go into any details, but I was pleased to see a film that was more haunting, less gore and fright. This film is actually believable, akin to many family or campfire tales of the past. It's a wonderful expression of how history can haunt a land. I'm from Kentucky, and stories like this are spot-on. It is really difficult to discuss without completely spoiling the plot. Excellent watch. I will no doubt recommend to friends and family, and certainly watch again.
