It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I consider myself a pretty good movie buff, meaning, it's never too hard to understand a film, however, this was not one of them. sure, I get supernatural, and manifestations of the mind, and I too get how using powerful drugs can alter your state of mind. but let me say, this made no sense real or unreal. first off, who are the people in the videos, her family? or ? to top that off, who were the missing people toward the end, and, yes there us a lot of ands. why did a priest come over to Molly's house and go down on her, and who was the supernatural figment awaiting her at the end of the sidewalk, and, who did her sister see to be holding out her hand at the top of the stairs to, and finally, what did her husband have to do with any of this? the only real thing I can say, is the acting performances were believable, other than that a no nonsense film. when viewing a film, there should always be an introduction , don't just throw us in the water and we went given the opportunity to take swim lessons, so to speak. I had to guess throughout the movie, and still don't know who was who. they just thru a random family on the screen and we had to guess from beginning to end, and after.

In a video recording dated 10.16.2011, Molly (Gretchen Lodge) is suicidal but can't kill herself. She says, "It won't let me do it." A year earlier, she is getting married to Tim (Johnny Lewis). They move into her childhood home assisted by her sister Hannah (Alexandra Holden). Molly is alone while Tim is away. She starts to deteriorate.It's not anything terribly new. Director Eduardo Sánchez of Blair Witch fame brings a mix of found footage and indie horror. It does have a disjointed feel. It can be confused. Gretchen Lodge has a nice disaffected performance. It's a middling horror that doesn't excel but it does have its moments.

LOVELY MOLLY is a BLAIR WITCH follow-up from director Eduardo Sanchez. In it, a newly wed couple movie back to the childhood home of the wife, only for her to start experiencing flashbacks and hallucinations as dark secrets from her past are dug back up again.This is a slow burning, atmospheric horror film that unfortunately misses the mark too often for me. It doesn't help that the characters, particularly the protagonist, are too unlikeable for me to enjoy the movie. Everything about this is greyed out and downbeat, and the segments filmed found footage style are intrusive; with found footage it's all or nothing. The opening scene with the burglar alarm going off is the only one which is truly menacing.The whole mysterious "secrets from the past" aspect of the storyline is an all-too-familiar one from a lot of modern horror movies and there's just too little incident here to attract my attention. Even worse, some of the stylistic choices are annoying in the extreme, such as the constant tinnitus-inducing ringing on the soundtrack. I appreciate what Sanchez was trying to do here but for me, it's a failure.

The Blair Witch marketing stamp is applied to yet another film. This time we're told that the writer/director of the cult classic which 'redefined the horror genre' (depending on your opinion of three kids running round a wood at night) is at the helm of this latest frightfest 'Lovely Molly.' Once again, the use of 'first person filming' is used for Lovely Molly, which tells the story of a newlywed couple who move into an old house in the middle of nowhere. However, when the husband is away driving for work, strange (and definitely not so lovely) things start to happen to Molly.First of all the good: the performances. Everyone does very well with what they're given and the acting is pretty hard to fault. However, there's not an awful lot of characters. The husband is largely away and Molly spends much of her time experiencing things on her own (then going and telling her sister about it every few days).The main problem with the film is that, although well-acted, it's really nothing we haven't seen before, i.e. walk round a creepy house and then get grabbed by some unseen supernatural force.Yes, there's a story woken in there somewhere, but, ultimately, there's nothing new enough here to really make it stand out. The reason Blair Witch worked was because it was original (or at least revitalised a genre that had lain dormant for a long time). This time the film-makers just retreads well-worn ground.It's okay, just nothing special enough to warrant elevating it over the other million similar horror movies out there right now.
