The Reading

Watching this movie made me wish I had attended film school, just so I could have the technical knowledge to effectively explain all the things that are wrong. The more I watched, the more confused I was. I was being generous when I gave it four stars. The acting and dialogue were ineffective. I do not understand the Emma character. She was confusing and near the end she was just all over the place.

There are so many holes in the script and so many questions throughout, that I'm unable to decide what the end really meant.

I want to walk away from a movie feeling like it was either completely believable or such a fantastic story that I'm willing to believe it because it was so well done - like The Sixth Sense. This was neither. I walked away from the movie asking why seasoned industry professionals put their names on this. And in the final credits...why was Monique credited three times for the same character? I don't even want to guess.

Watch this movie if you're a serious film student looking for a movie that is full of issues and things to not do when making a film. If you're a regular person, just find something else to watch...unless you enjoy train wrecks and dumpster fires.

I really don't know why this movie is getting such bad reviews? It was exactly how a horror should be. There was suspense and plot twist, and even had a little comedy. I especially liked how they did not waste their time getting to the point. I don't know if the negative reviews are because there's not blood and gore?

Or it's because people are typically use to films like this with a certain demographic not being as good and watched this one and is possibly upset that a certain demographic was able to produce a decent horror film with a good budget? Or possibly they didn't watch the previews of this movie and assumed it was going to be some Wayne Brothers comical spin on horror movies?

This film was AMAZING! I Watched it several times!!! Courtney Glaude , the cast, crew did an amazing job! Loved it! Monique was very good in this! Everyone needs to go watch it!!!! Good Job !

My favorite part was at the table, the way she sat there and had that reading and didnt even realize what was about to happen. She did a 360 and it definitely was the highlight of the film! These kinds of films are what's needed in the film industry! I really hope they do a part 2 so we will know what's to come. I'm looking forward to see what Courtney comes up with next! Love it! Such an amazing creator/director.

Monique was great , the others not so much . If they took another direction with this for instance , if they would of kept the narrative of the break in and she helped find the killers 1 by 1 and Monique would go out and kill them secretly but the plot twist is she hired them . Another ideas would be she was a loving mother who just wanted revenge, last plot twist she was possessed and the made it an exorcist type flick lol. I gave it a 5 star because I feel like had Monique had a better cast and better script it would of been a great movie but she still made it work with the scraps she was given and momma made miracles every thanksgiving.

Great concept. HORRIBLE execution. I wanted to see Htown knock this out the park. I really was rooting for this. Now the People who rated this 10 lied to you. NOT FRIENDS, They are enablers. The will not help you reach the level you want to go too. There is a science to film, There are people who's already learned them. If you won't go to school, staff your weakness. You limit your success by not taking the time to study (school) your craft. Please take this as an opportunity for grow. I'm rooting for you. The only people whose saying filmmakers don't need school is the ones who didn't go. U got this.
