The Kindred

What a boring movie. Its certainly not a horror movie. Yes, if you get scared by watching kids as ghost. And not very scary kids. A young mother investigates what led to her fathers death. And gets haunted by spirits from an unsolved mystery 30 years ago. You can already begin to feel how boring this is. And the 10 rating, is given by someone who has a connetction to the movie. They have only been Imdb members for a couple of days. That is one way to find out if the review is biased or not.

Decent acting and cast , story was weak and very slow. It felt like i was watching a lifetime movie . Not at all scary . You have seen it all before, predictable and boring .Would not reccommend.

Well, the movie is not a bad movie, maybe some people could find it a little long or maybe not scary enough, but is well acted.

It could be more developed in writing but for an independent movie is okay. Certainly there are a lot of recent bad independent movies so I think that thisovie is entertaining enough.

The scary parts is not well developed in a psychological way and the leading character don't allow us to care more about her, because she seems so vehement in some attitudes. The police guy is a good actor but I think his character could be developed better.

If you like a decent acting and a decent story that can scare you sometimes, you could enjoy this movie.

Enjoyed it. Reasonable casting, acting, direction, script, production. Premise acceptable. Well executed. Expect common complaints that it's either too slow or too long, But for those of us who consume the genre it's better than most. Overly critical is that the lead can't quite carry the role, but then only the best actresses could, because the demand for emotional portrayal and transformation required for the part would overwhelm most.

This is one of those movies that suffers from sitting on the fence between two genres, and not fully satisfying either. Really, it is a thriller with slight supernatural overtones, which are never totally explored in any depth. The acting is good throughout, although I did find the leads constant state of helplessness a little wearying. In my personal opinion, I think it would have worked better as a straight out psychological thriller, as the supernatural side didn't really add anything to the story.
