Cruel Will

I enjoyed watching this one. It's better made than most other movies of the same type. It centres around Paul and Lily, a married couple. It's a trip towards madness and insanity of Paul, purportedly caused by the spirit of Lily's deceased father's spirit. And this seems to be due to the the fact that the lid to the urn that holds Lily's father's ashes has gone missing. This same urn that Lily bought home after her father's funeral. It all seems that way, as I said, in true horror movie fashion. Anyway, you have to live through all this and feel for poor Paul and also for Lily who has to put up with all this. Especially living with a disjointed husband. You have to wait to about 5 minutes toward the end of the movie when things get a lot worse, because, yes folks, there is a twist.

I read some of the reviews and thought it would be an awful movie, but it wasn't. Different yes but no really a horror, even though there's blood & brutality. I found it makes you want to see what happens next.

After the death of her abusive father, Lily and her husband Paul begin to experience strange happenings throughout their small suburban home, but have the pair fallen under the sinister influence of Lily's father's spirit, or have each of them begun to slip into a state of delusion brought on by their own repressed feelings? It is only by the cruel will of writer and director Arthur Romeo that this piece of garbage would actually be intended for human eyes. CRUEL WILL starts off boringly enough as we delve into the death of Lily's father, and her own dysfunctional marriage. Shortly there after, Paul is forced to question his own sanity as ghostly visions overtake him. The ambiguity here sets up for a decent mystery that pays off in the worst of all possible ways. When Paul finally loses his mind, actor Arron Kinser loses all remaining credibility what is easily the most absurd performance of the year. Kinser is laughably bad, but his supporting actors do their best to distract from his ridiculous display with their own poor portrayals of the other characters. CRUEL WILL is not the least bit terrifying or entertaining. It is a trial in patience that no viewer should ever have to endure.

The opening camera work great but the script and acting soon made me lose interest.

This film started off quite well with a decent shocking scene but it soon went downhill fast. Some of the cast were half good, whilst one seemed to have no acting ability at all. The story was pretty routine and a pretty much below average production.
