Abigail Haunting

This was a pleasant surprise. Well written, well directed, solid acting. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel but isn't fully predictable. It's much better than most of the garbage masquerading as horror that somehow make it into a wide theatrical release. It's easy to recommend this to horror fans.

Ok so for a low budget film ... I think it's safe to use the words hidden gem... (loosely) . I think while someone Could've probably used a low budget better Kelly Schwarze did a fine job of building suspense building characters and building up to a climax in the first two acts.... I must say I was impressed with the acting which seemed very natural .. the actress fell a bit short During her scared scenes however she and her friend did great at capturing an authentic relationship... as did the wise old man... I felt like side from the haunting life in a foster trailer is probably exactly like this... Abigail looked terrifying and Marge nailed "haunted cyco" so I am glad I watched it because I needed a deep breath of horror even if it wasn't "fresh"

To whoever was blathering about Canada this and Canada that, this was filmed in NEVADA, the lead actress was born in UTAH, the other main actors were born in NEW YORK, DETROIT, etc. Everywhere but CANADA. Not a CANADIAN in sight, so maybe rewatch it or just forget about reviewing movies, if you're that clueless.

This overall was a pretty decent horror movie I started watching horror movies like I used to and I would say this was one of if not the best I've seen this week or month its got that creepy thing I like similar to the grudge but probably not as creepy but close the thing that ruins movies like this is killing off the main characters or in this case bounding the girl to the house like she didn't kill her mother her foster mother did and she exposed her for what she did usually in these kinds of horror movies characters help find out whst happened to the once before person was killed and by doing so they become the spirits friend in a way so it leaves them alone it puts them to rest so they stop killing or haunting people I also usually don't do movie reviews but this would of been amazing if they did tge ending better.

It might be fun to watch if your Canadian, otherwise I found it hard to get into "because you can take the Canadian out of Canada, but you can't take the Canada out of a Canadian".. some examples: -A haunted trailer home -Canadian accents slipping out left and right -Strange demeanors, lingo, and odd reactions to things (i.e.-"...but, why?? Who does/says that??".. lol, Canadians do, I promise you.)

........strangest ending EVER... "strange" as in I had to ask myself why I was laughing, almost felt like satire. Although I'm sure it's a generally terrifying thought for Canadians; a single mom getting trapped in a cheap manufactured home, middle of nowhere in a desert (in the USA), with your mother's vengeful/bi-polar spirit.

I'll give it a generous 4.5/10.... slightly painful watch after the halfway point, but overall I can't really say it wasn't worth the dose of "Cana-weird" it provided. The movie "Housebound" constantly came to mind while I was watching this (especially the last scene) but that movie embraced those more "moronic" traits scattered throughout... I'd only watch this if you literally don't have anything better to do (there's nothing to lose in that case!) but I can't at all say anyone "shouldn't" watch it.... was a truly well done indie on many other lvls. It's kinda cool to see demographic and nationalities shine through in weird ways in film and other mediums.
