They Live in the Grey

I actually really liked this movie, but the pacing is agonizingly slow at times. The main character is someone who has experienced the loss of her child and blames herself for it, and as a result, she pushes everyone away. Unfortunately, she also pushes the audience away. It's like you have to drag the story out of her. This could be the fault of the way this was directed, written, the lead actor's choices, or the editing of the final product, or some combination of them - I'm honestly not sure, but it happened over and over again. During one of the last scenes (don't worry, no spoilers), the lead literally has a phone to her mouth and almost seems to refuse to deliver the next line, drawing it out way, way, WAY too long. There's an art to dramatic pauses. This movie doesn't get it right. But I give it a 6/10 for premise, atmosphere, and an interesting take on the whole "person who sees dead people" / medium idea. I would love to see this recut. It could be a really decent movie.

The idea of the movies plot is decent. The special effects are decent. There are 3 main faults. The acting is just not good, however it could have been overlooked if not for the next two issues. The pacing is needlessly slow and drawn out. It ruins the tension it could be using. The editing is not good. Whether that harmed the pacing or vice versa...This would be a passable movie if the pace was tightened up and slightly better acting was coaxed out of the actors. The child actors outshine the leads.smh. This looks like it could've been the first rough draft for the Sixth Sense before it was nailed down.

Look, this isn't anything new and revolutionary. You've seen similar in a dozen other movies

But , for a shudder original made for their service horror flick , it's a hell of a lot better than I figured it would be.

I was interested enough to want to stick around and unravel things

The acting was not exceptional, but it was decent enough. The " twist" wasn't anything I didn't see coming. In fact I saw it awhile back but figured that was too simplistic so I second guessed myself into some crazy complicated ideas. Nope. Not sixth sense haha

It's a good time killer with a good creepy vibe. Nothing you'll be telling your friends about , but a good way to spend an evening relaxing.

I came into this expecting a horror based on the synopsis but all I got was a sad film of a woman dealing with grief while occasionally a glass moves.

Boring, trite and (frankly) depressing this was not what I expected or wanted and, while Michelle Krusiec's acting was great, it couldn't carry this film for me.

Wasn't expecting much from this, but it was quite good, the acting wasn't that good, but the atmosphere is there and it makes up for it. 6/10, not a great movie but not a bad one either.
