FilmLover-4's rating
Saw this movie at a film festival in Orem, Utah. Heard the budget was rather low, and the story, quality, and concept -- with redeeming message for a horror film -- blew me away. Make sure you rent this one for a scary movie with a heart.
The main leads are all actors on the rise. They did a great job portraying the emotions involved in the story. One of the supporting actors, Julie Sapp, was convincing as the main "ghost" in the story. She was downright scary! She apparently also was a co-writer, co-director-, co-composer, co-everything on this film with her talented husband, Dave Sapp.
Imagine what will happen the next time this duo gets more of a budget and makes their next film!

This movie surprised us. We cried. Yes, we cried. The trailer barely tells you what the movie is about. There were some unfunny dumb things having to do with dogs, etc. (no one in the theater laughed much) and some cheeseball stuff, but the emotional core of the movie delivers a wallop that is unexpected. Along the lines of a sort of combination of "Family Man" and "It's a Wonderful Life" -- more "Family Man" -- this movie didn't just bring tears to eyes, it makes you cry. Because of that, I liked it and give it a thumbs up. The annoying stuff is a relatively small price to pay for the lessons the core stuff teaches. Lastly, Kate Beckinsdale (the epitome of domestic beauty in this movie) is absolutely a dream and the actress that played her grown daughter had eyes that matched -- well done. Enough said.
I went to this movie at the dollar theater with my 12-year-old daughter and a couple of her friends. This is a power chick flick that overdelivers on the panned critical reviews. I thought it was a solid B all the way across. The story was interesting, the special effects quite good, and Jennifer Garner in a those outfits is not a bad visual. The "Treasure" Abbey did a very good job, too. Thus, pleasantly surprised.
IMDb requires me to write more lines, though I don't have a lot more to say. I guess the only other thing would be that I would like the "old man" teacher of Elektra to be more defined, to know more about his background and where he came from, etc.
