Dark Windows

... but as it turns out, I found it quite enjoyable. This showed up in my Prime recommendations, and I thought the synopsis sounded good enough to give it a watch. After all, how can you go wrong with a movie about teenagers being stalked by a mad man (though I doubt any of the actors were anywhere near teens).

The acting was quite good, but what surprised me the most was that the actions of the characters was quite logical compared to other movies in this genre. I did think it might have some good gore, but if you're looking for that, you'll be disappointed.

This is one of the rare times I didn't look at the rating of a film before watching it, and I'm glad I didn't because the low rating might have made me pass it up. I have no idea why it would receive anything less than a 6. Perhaps it simply wasn't what people expected, but in my case, it was much better.

No pun intended - this is a little horror movie. So I reckon if you suspend your disbelief and cut this some slack .. well you may find this interesting. Especially the spin or twist or whatever you would call it. I think it kind of loses a lot of momentum once there is ... well the ending (resolution).

There are some interesting and good moments before. You have some nice jump scares (if you call them nice) and some character beats ... that may work in the context of the movie or not. The actors do their best, but you may find their characters annoying ... and you have not seen anything yet. Roll (or rather ride ... sorry not sorry) with it ... otherwise you will be bored I reckon.

Much better than the rating suggests if you like drama/horror movies. In my opinion this is a little hidden gem. It's only one hour and 20 minutes long, so it's not one of those long drawn out type horror movies. The story is great and unique. It's got a couple of messages for younger people in the movie, such as never drink and drive and when someone is driving, act responsibly.

I had never seen any of these actors but All of the actors do a great job. There isn't a whole lot of horror in the movie but just enough to keep you interested and the final act it's worth the wait.

7/10 all in all a good/great horror.

I came across this flick while looking for a good horror on Amazon and the trailer showed three people trapped in a house with a killer outside which was was just the type of mindless slasher I was in the mood for tonight.

It turned out to be much better than I expected and the suspense slowly builds up throughout the film until the intense ending. No spoilers will be shared here though. Just the general plot... After the death of a friend, 3 friends of the deceased go to a house in the country to overcome their grief...but they're not alone. The horror doesn't begin right away but the tension slowly builds throughout the first hour keeping you engaged. I wasn't bored at any point and I usually shut films off after 10 minutes if i'm not getting into it.

The acting by all the leads was pretty good, especially by the lead girl and none of the characters made stupid decisions like they do in most of these types of films.

I'm rating it a 9 because with so many bad new horrors out there today, this was a nice surprise and I was into it the whole way through. I paid 3.99 to rent it, but if you wait a while it'll most likely be free to stream soon, but I don't feel like I wasted my money on it because I really enjoyed it. Definitely recommended if you're into suspense with good acting and I thought the ending was pretty intense and done well.

Well, I have to say that I was quite impressed. Amazon Prime. It's hard to find a movie that has a different flow/vibe with an unexpected ending these days with all of the movies out there! This movie kept my attention from beginning to end. Simple plot; good acting; great execution on cinematography...the ending is just priceless, in my opinion. It was not what I, nor my husband expected (as we frequently have it all figured out before the movie ends lol). I'm a horror/thriller/suspense enthusiast, but don't enjoy slasher or over the top bloody films. This. Was. Awesome. 1 hr 20 min...with no unnecessary fluff. And to think, there was a message within the movie about drinking & driving that may or may not help others make better decisions...lessons definitely learned here. I really can't say enough - we need more gems like this!!
