Copley: An American Fairytale

This film has a lot going for it. The cinematography is beautifully done. And while the plot has some holes, the film is really creepy. There were points when I was worried that I'd be afraid to be alone in the dark in my own house after seeing this movie.

The sound track, especially the music, is both subtle and evocative. It adds a great deal to the suspense factor of the film. There are many sequences that fill you with dread, largely due to the way the music is moving the scene forward.

Standout scenes include the comic relief provided by the local convenience store clerks.

I just saw this film and I have to say very well done. It is rare to see a film nowadays with good taste, good scares, good suspense and a great plot. It's probably not the greatest film of all time, but it could possibly be the prettiest independent supernatural thriller of all time. I do however have to disagree with the "plot hole" statement from a previous poster. There are no filler shots in this movie - everything has a purpose; some shots & references are a bit deeper than others, but there's nothing that's not connected to something else. Perhaps the other poster is referring to one of the (several) red herrings in the film. Overall, this is a great way for fans of the supernatural to spend an evening - lots to talk about.
