Abigail Haunting

This is one of those 'haunting' movies / stories with a female lead where they attempt to make you feel some empathy / emotion/ feel sorry / for the character but to me that was just a big fail.

-1 Star for What I said above. The lead was just as much of a scumbag as her boyfriend was.

It was an okay telling of a fairly common premise but there was nothing I noticed that stood out as good, or original, or cool. So all in all very average.

-1 Star for a bad ending. No closure. Characters at the end that would have certainly done more were just left hanging.

Just not a very good movies.

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.

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"

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.

Personally i think this film was good! I think what people dont understand is that an Indie film is a lowbudget film!!!!! The quality of the film was phenomenal, the editing was steller and the performances were great! This isnt a million dollar budget film.......great job to the cast and crew for making an INDIE film look good(because there are some terrible ones out there) there will always be people out there that will pick out SOMETHING wrong with art...and art is very subjective. With that said, well done:)
