Abigail Haunting

Ok so for a low budget film ... I think it's safe to use the words hidden gem... (loosely) . I think while someone Could've probably used a low budget better Kelly Schwarze did a fine job of building suspense building characters and building up to a climax in the first two acts.... I must say I was impressed with the acting which seemed very natural .. the actress fell a bit short During her scared scenes however she and her friend did great at capturing an authentic relationship... as did the wise old man... I felt like side from the haunting life in a foster trailer is probably exactly like this... Abigail looked terrifying and Marge nailed "haunted cyco" so I am glad I watched it because I needed a deep breath of horror even if it wasn't "fresh"

I read some of the reviews before watching this so I didn't have high hopes. And maybe that's why I enjoyed it. The acting was decent. It looked good. I was interested the entire time. I didn't love the lead character. I like to sympathize with the lead character. Couldn't do it on this one. But over all, I'd say if you like ghost stuff. give it a watch.

It might be fun to watch if your Canadian, otherwise I found it hard to get into "because you can take the Canadian out of Canada, but you can't take the Canada out of a Canadian".. some examples: -A haunted trailer home -Canadian accents slipping out left and right -Strange demeanors, lingo, and odd reactions to things (i.e.-"...but, why?? Who does/says that??".. lol, Canadians do, I promise you.)

........strangest ending EVER... "strange" as in I had to ask myself why I was laughing, almost felt like satire. Although I'm sure it's a generally terrifying thought for Canadians; a single mom getting trapped in a cheap manufactured home, middle of nowhere in a desert (in the USA), with your mother's vengeful/bi-polar spirit.

I'll give it a generous 4.5/10.... slightly painful watch after the halfway point, but overall I can't really say it wasn't worth the dose of "Cana-weird" it provided. The movie "Housebound" constantly came to mind while I was watching this (especially the last scene) but that movie embraced those more "moronic" traits scattered throughout... I'd only watch this if you literally don't have anything better to do (there's nothing to lose in that case!) but I can't at all say anyone "shouldn't" watch it.... was a truly well done indie on many other lvls. It's kinda cool to see demographic and nationalities shine through in weird ways in film and other mediums.

To whoever was blathering about Canada this and Canada that, this was filmed in NEVADA, the lead actress was born in UTAH, the other main actors were born in NEW YORK, DETROIT, etc. Everywhere but CANADA. Not a CANADIAN in sight, so maybe rewatch it or just forget about reviewing movies, if you're that clueless.

Bravo to the filmmakers of this solid indie horror film! I completely enjoyed myself. It was not an over the top horror film which I appreciated. It was a rather gradual build which I thought played really well. The director did a good job in telling the story and kept the pace of the film moving along. The actors were all good choices and played their characters well. In particular I liked Chelsea Jurkiewicz. But again, I enjoyed all the actors. So for me, this one gets a thumbs up.
