Val

Val is sharp, suspenseful, and an incredible ride. It's a pitch perfect horror comedy that will keep you guessing until the very end!! Just when you think you know where it's headed, the story totally turns on its head. Great script, beautifully directed and superb actors. Absolutely recommend - it's fun and campy-- just in time for Halloween!!

The acting was a bit over the top and the plot clearly signalled where it was going. Not scary or to be taken seriously. No where as good as the other reviews so far suggest.

Gave this one a shot as I found it in the "new & popular" movies category on Comcast and we were pleasantly surprised. Fun concept with a small cast and one really cool house that about 99% of the film takes place in.

As the film opens, I wasn't really sure what I was in for but the two leads kept dishing out little gems that kept me entertained. Then it all ramps up in the 3rd act with a dynamite ending! Really my favorite (and most memorable) part. I wish more of the film lived in this 3rd act energy but I was left satisfied and satiated.

Would recommend if you want something very DIFFERENT than what's been served to us in the mainstream!

This horror comedy thriller is rather difficult to watch as a comedic movie for most of its duration and yet if one has the fortitude to watch it through to the end, it seems to redeem itself some. The primary problem for the audience is the rather off-putting behavior of Finn scripted by Aaron Fradkin, also director, and Vitoria Fratz who plays Jenny, a close friend of Finn. The story outline is solid, but the presentation is somewhat awkward in places as the humor mostly offered up by the luscious and mysterious Val, the woman whose home Finn breaks into and played by Misha Reeves with great affect cannot quite make up for the rather initial overly dramatic, brusque and rough performance by Finn that is actually out of character. In summary, this movie does touch on the notion of good and evil quite well and the last third of the movie almost makes up for the unintentional repelling nature of Finn along with the rather innovative quality performance of Val.

The film is a gem. Misha Reeves, as Val, grabbed my attention and kept it. The actors have good chemistry and the story was edgy and dark. Zachary Mooren (Fin) played a good counter to the manipulative Val.
