Stephanie

Being a fan of Anna Torv (Fringe) and not having seen her in anything for a while (also do enjoy a good horror type movie), I decided to give this a go. The acting is great, albeit a very minimal cast. The young girl (Stephanie) carried the film well, with most of the scenes being her on her own. This is a bit of a mix of a movie, with some horror and sci-fi elements, it did kind of remind me of a Fringe event. Not sure why there are some low ratings here, can only assume some people went into this expecting something else. This movie will keep you guessing as to what is going on and doesn't disappoint. So if you like a bit of a break from the norm, give this one a go.

This one is a good movie! Of course we are talking about a horror movie...is not a masterpiece . But to be honest, the low ratings are not fair. Good acting, good story, suspense moments, twists and turns. I have seen very bad horror movies but this one is not one of them.

First off, the little girl is absolutely incredible and believable in this. I was not aware a child could be such a great actor! Holy smokes! Torv (oh, how I miss Fringe) was great and so was Grillo. The movie starts off with some nerve wracking moments when Stephanie is alone and having to fend for herself. The pace picks up when Mom & Dad return home. Yes, I would have loved more backstory, but otherwise it kept my attention and I enjoyed the suspense. I would watch again.

I don't remember if there were any jump scares in "Stephanie," because it had me always ready to jump, and that might be the best thing I could say about a horror movie these days.

This is the sort of horror movie that could only be made with excellence today. It's low budget, but looks great. It takes place primarily in one house, but doesn't become dull. Instead of special effects, It depends on atmosphere and its actors' performances. In the few places where there are special effects, they don't invite doubt.

I commend the actors, especially child actor Shree Crooks, who hits it out of the park. Was it possible before now to get child-actor performance this strong in a low budget horror movie? Crooks is in every scene and never slips.

My only caveat: the first part might not appeal to some viewers, but if they spend the time looking carefully, they'll see that things are even more amiss than they seem. And if they stay with it, they'll be happy anyway.

An excellent largely ignored film. They used to call these sleepers.

At least two of the negative reviews clearly indicate that they only watched the beginning of the movie, and rate it unfairly imo.

This movie is excellent at involving the viewer's imagination. I put it on meant for background noise while I was multitasking, but dropped everything else to watch it.

Some pretty good scare parts, and that kid is a talent that I'm sure we'll see a lot more of. The plot was also pretty good at keeping me from correctly predicting what happens next. *Watch the beginning of the end credits, too - it delivers closure.

Nice to see Anna Torv again, too - I think I'll watch the first three seasons of Fringe, now lol!
