Behind You

This movie was selected from a long list of possibilities in a search for a good old fashioned scary ghost story. I am a huge horror fan, and I watch movies a lot. So I consider myself a good judge of the genre This movie made a ton of promises, with very little payout. You get set up for the usual spooky secrets in the haunted house/ basement bit, complete with children to scare witless, and seemingly disgruntled relatives. So lets dig in........and waiting..........and waiting..........Other than a slow passing of character exposition, where we get reminded that there are dark secrets in this house, the bulk of the movie goes by with very little actual supernatural events. Then just before you decide you really have wasted your night on a boring movie, it explodes into a non-stop horror roller coaster. 90% of the action takes place in the last 10% of the movie. The rest of the movie felt juvenile and cheesy. Just too little too late for me.

Nothing much to say really, it's not great & it's not god awful, the story is a bit lame & has been done before way better, but it definitely has a bit of creepy factor, the production values are pretty good considering it was obviously low budget, the acting was above par from a cast that i had never personally heard of, although 1 or 2 faces looked familiar, so all in all not a complete waste of my time, i definitely won't be watching it again though, 5/10

Not very good, save your time & watch something else!

The cinematography was okay, but the writing wasn't at all. When the plot is rice paper thin and yet the characters feel compelled to explain the plot in the movie to ad nauseam, you know this film is in trouble.

My advice, leave this film "behind you"

The acting wasn't the worst, for a low budget movie it was ok. There were numerous times you found yourself saying 'really, now who would do that?' It's one of those movies that the characters actions were so stupid that you just felt angered from the stupidity. The writing could have been better, or at least believable of what people would do in the same situation.
