Perfect cast and a good story
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
View MoreIt's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
View MoreOne of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
View MoreI found this via a Red Box rental, so it looked promising. It had some fancy title screen art rendering depicting something occult, fantastic and otherwise surreal and dark. The movie is actually anything but. Instead, it is about a horror writer (surprise!) living in a mansion. He has an older woman that lives on the top floor, but he can't ever access the top floor. The foreshadowing isn't that great here and while the movie plays on it, it doesn't reveal much until later in the movie. The writer himself walks around the house, business as usual, and strange things start to happen. Most of the movie carries on like this and otherwise makes for a frustrating affair to watch, if not boring as a whole. I do not recommend the movie.
View MoreThis is a one of those Christian message films being deliberately mis- marketed as a horror movie. And everyone has been given the Christian message and knows it by the time our brains begin retaining memories. So let's BE HONEST about what kind of movie we're trying to shove down people's throats. Especially horror aficionados, who want to watch something evil! We know where the church is like everyone else, and we'll see you there on Sunday like everyone else. Where we should talk about the good works that could have been done with the money it took to produce and distribute a movie!As for the watch, its surprise final act and clever after-twist with the Christian message (again) had no chance of overcoming either its filler drag or the fact that Christian "horror" movies are a bad idea, no matter how well they're done.
View MoreThis is just a fantastic movie. It is one of the best movies if not the best I ever seen. The storyline was flawless and it had me on the edge of my seat. The music made this movie extremely creepy and gave a whole lot of suspense. The acting was spot on, they couldn't have picked any better actorsfor this thriller.The twist in this movie was unbelievable and no one could ever see it coming. The ending had me on the edge of my seat and I really hoping they are makinga second one. These other reviews don't make any sense, this was way better then the conjuring. I really hope more people get to see this amazing movie. Definitely a 10 out of 10. The plot of the story revolves around this horror story writer who rents a house for 8 weeks. There is a elderly blind lady living on the third floor. Weird stuff keeps happening and he thinks its the lady. He finally gets to talk to the woman and she says that the person that he rented the house from is her daughter and she killed her friend which happens.to be a girl he has been talking too. He then comforts the lady after she kill her mom and he kills her. It was a awesome movie.
View MoreThe movie is about a horror movie writer that into a big old haunted house with a creepy mysterious blind woman living on the top floor. His friend and companion states "sounds like a good plot for a film", unfortunately the film we are watching does not seem to confirm her statement. The film is slow moving with out taking advantage of its pace. Long drawn out scenes of your main character walking on the beach and finding messages in a bottle set to indie music, and conversations going over the previous scenes fill a majority of the film. While acting and camera work isn't bad, there simply is no substance to the film and nothing new is brought to the table. There are no scary moments in the film, unless you count a slamming door as scary. Once the ending of the film came around, I wondered if the movie was somehow a misplaced joke that wasn't funny. You will see what I mean when a near replica of a certain Halloween scene is done.
