Widow's Walk

Sorry to say so, but there is close to 0% horror, perhaps, 0.5% tops and most important, absolutely no climax. Sure there will be a closure, which will happen only to shock the viewer a little, but overall this movie was a swing and a miss.

It takes a small forever to happen, to develop, to make the scrip move further and provide something interesting, I waited and waited hoping that perhaps I will get a glimpse of a turning point, a deciding moment, one that will turn everything around, but excepting the absolute last 2 minutes, there will be no such thing. It will take a great load of patience and possibly some alcohol involved in order to fully view Widow's Walk without losing interest, because it has so little to offer.

I didn't get the point of the movie, surely I did understand it, for sure, but I do believe we all could have lived without it. It is a rather dull production, maybe, just maybe hanging on the neo-noir atmosphere that is long gone, because some traits of it, like the soundtrack and different scenes, did seem to have its roots there, but still, nonetheless, this movie isn't for everyone. I surely will not recommend it, for it brought nothing to the table.

Cheers!

Having lost my own father at 11 years old, and having watched my mother go through the grief and hopelesness that comes with the loss of a close family member, I was definately a little biased towards this movie from the outset. That being said, Widow's Walk does a tremendous job of portraying the aspects of grief that come with the premise of the movie. Horror fans looking for quick scares will be sorely dissapointed, as the movie is pretty much void of those. But those familiar with the true losses of life will find a reckognizable theme in the film, even down to the "grey" colours of the movie perfectly portraying what those times are recounted as in their memory, down to the mother finally having the courage again to don a dress in front of the mirror and putting on lipstick. Infinately sad, but brilliant.

While Widows Walk is classified as a Horror Movie, it is to be seen through the lens of tragedy, rather than fright. It does an incredible job of encapsulating the feeling of grief into film, and at the end of it all, that is the greatest horror that life has to offer; the loss of those close to us, and how we deal with it. The storyline involved, while slow-paced and somewhat predictable, is second to the emotions that this movie carries, especially for those familiar with these emotions.

A deep and touching movie, more than warranting a solid score.

Took me a while to figure out what kind of film I was watching and I don't think I did. It was spooky and I was waiting for something that didn't happen. I was happy when it ended but I found myself depressed. Of course Woman Overboard is a great tune.

Here we have a well done ghost movie that offers beautiful views but very little in story. Getting into any detail about the story would be spoiling it, that how little content the movie actually has. The atmosphere the movie has is nice but can't save it from the fact that it is just horribly boring.

But yeah, it ain't a horrible movie definitely compared to b-class movies I've been watching lately but it can't really make it in the actually good movies category either.

This movie is atmospheric and beautifully shot but not much else. The mystery, if you can call it that is very predictable. The scares are not very scary and there is not much to the spookyness that is abroad. But, all that said, the cast is good and believable and the story is touching. It is also a feast fo the eyes, and ears. The score is beautiful and compliments the breathtaking vistas and epicness of the coastline. There are worse ways to spend an evening.
