The House in Sherwood

I enjoyed this film! It started kind of slow, but I liked that this wasn't a jump scare kind of horror film. It was a spooky one. I will watch it again. I am curious to see some of these other films from the UK.

The bad bits of this movie: The actress that plays Karen over acts to the point she reminded me of Jim Carrey.

The writer not only plasters his name 'Mansfield' all over everything he even names a character on the phone after himself... Not good!

There are no real if, what's or why's in the movie. For an hour it's paranormal/poltergeist activity then suddenly turns to a Demon in the last 5 mins.

The 'suspense' is massively underplayed. The clown at the stairs could have been so much better with a little sound effect.

The better bits: The lead actress who plays Angela does a relatively decent job for a low budget movie.

There are a few suspenseful build-up's to enjoy but sadly they amount to very little.

All in all, give it a watch if there's nothing else on but I would turn off a Sheffield United match to watch this.

Right away this film seems like one likely to antagonize some viewers, as it seems to be entirely in second person view, watching the two actors as they film themselves like a Periscope video, complete with random floating emojis and comments popping up from fake twitter accounts and the like.

Very little is explained as to what is happening and why, but thankfully it starts to get clearer as it goes along. Basically, Angela (the redhead) is an alleged psychic, and Karen (the non-redhead) feels she was screwed over by some bad financial advice given by Angela. Now she is cyberstalking Angela, who is filming herself in a haunted flat, and decides to take her revenge by sabotaging Angela, sending her threatening letters and phone calls, and trying to expose her as a fraud.

This is basically the entirety of the movie, with the two actors basically chomping scenery with all the obnoxious energy of exactly what they basically are; youtubers. Along the way, we see some rather unusual stuff that might suggest Karen is possibly butting in on something else entirely.

Overall this is definitely the type of film which if a friend told me they couldn't watch because it was too annoying, I would be like "okay" and accept that.

If you haven't seen any of British Director Richard Mansfield's films, they are very low budget, found footage, and glacially slow. Usually with very simple plots. This one is certainly low budget and almost painfully slow but actually the plot is an improvement over his other work, especially over "A Haunting In Sherwood", which this is a sequel to. This is far from a good film, I can't even say it is a particularly entertaining film, but it isn't the worst way to spend 70 minutes. Once it finally gets going there are a few actually inspired chills, bit not enough to make up for the dullness of the first two acts. Keep trying Richard, you're getting closer to making a decent film.

This is a low production found footage film of a woman, psychic, investigating the haunting of a home. She is broadcasting live to rebuild her reputation. as a psychic and medium. At the same time and often in split screen, a woman is playing mean spirited pranks on the psychic as she feels robbed by the psychic for a bad suggestion. The focus on screen is often a small view, and this makes it seem very amateur. The acting of the psychic is okay but nothing special. The acting by the other woman is borderline camp and often off putting to her scenes. There is very little scares or thrills to this film. The presentation of the ghost has a eeriness to it, but little is done to extend or enhance this. Interesting concept that is poorly managed and presented.
