Primrose Lane

I was lucky enough to catch a screening of Primrose Lane at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival. While the festival was a blast, Primrose Lane was a bit of a let down. The film follows a couple who hole up in a remote house that happens to have nefarious elements within, leading the couple to a horrifying discovery. The story isn't anything groundbreaking or particularly memorable. Writer-director Kathleen Davison wears her influences on her sleeve and Primrose Lane demonstrates her ability to capture tension on screen but she falters in delivering the truly scary moments and this leads to the film having a very disappointing payoff. The performances are nothing to write home about, they're not bad but they're not particularly good either. The technical aspects of this film definitely are the strongest points here. The camera work is extremely well thought out and feels very professional in its execution; a nice color grade on it really captures the tone very well also. The lighting was also very well done and captured Davison's tone even further. Overall, Primrose Lane feels like it was made for die hard horror fans, especially those who seem to gravitate towards supernatural horror but, as a whole, the film didn't do it for me. Despite this, I feel that Kathleen Davison did demonstrate some great technical work that added to the suspense of the film and I look forward to see what else she has in store for us in the future.

Terrible acting, ridiculous plot & not a horror movie, maybe a bad comedy. Stupid conversation regarding immigration for no reason. Gay guy"s acting was only good when he wasn't trying to sound gay. I can't say 1 good thing about this movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film and it's beautiful storytelling! Creepy, intense and spine tingling.

I just got finished watching this movie .This is not a horror movie more like a supernatural drama of some sort.It was'nt in the least bit scary.I was waiting for something to happen and nothing really did .It looked good .It sets you up for something major but its just a big nothing.The actual story does'nt seem to go anywhere and whats with the ending? Is there a sequel to this .It looked like a glorified TV movie.I don't like giving negative feedback to films that people have put their effort to create,but i definetly know i can do something much better than this in the horror genre and i have done.I 'v written 2 books in the genre already ,i'm just waiting for the call for someone to make a movie out of them. As for this definitely pass on this one.

Just as it gets interesting it ends!!! Way too many unexplained happenings. You have to have a story, not just a series of unconnected events. Where are the great story tellers? Clearly not in this movie
