Rift

Movies like this are the ones that makes us believe in the horror genre. It is because of such movies we like to see horror/thriller movies. Let me tell you that after watching the teaser I wanted to buy the ticket and watch it because after a long time I got to see a real gripping and tightly directed horror movie. The teaser is very exciting and has a lot of goosebumps. However, if you are a faint of heart please do not see this movie as it has a lot of gore/violence in it which will make you jump out of your seat. I just can't wait for the DVD to come out as I really want to buy it. My recommendation to all of you is to watch Rift and have a good time like I will. Also, the best story ever. 10/10

I couldn't believe when I saw this flick and jumped on IMDb to see the user reviews there was nothing but praise, it didn't make any sense! It does make sense if you had some kind of connection to the piece though, one reviewer mentioned it's a great movie to have friends over and scare each other, I think my friends would be skeptical of my intelligence if I invited them over to watch this rot, they certainly wouldn't be coming to another movie night at my house!

Absolutely awful movie, boring drawn out storyline, no good action, if you can handle over an hour of bad actors yelling I'm cold or where's Ricky (something like that I can't even remember any names they were that useless) then this movie is for you but if you like something that seems like there was any thought put into it at all I'd give it a miss.

The only genre I have consistently enjoyed throughout the years is the horror genre. However, I'm getting more than fed up with some of the genre movies of recent years, that do absolutely nothing new and besides are poorly put together ones. Perhaps therefore I also wasn't really expecting much from this unknown little genre movie but as it turned out, it's a surprisingly watchable one!

Can't say that this is a brilliant or very effective genre movie but it least still does plenty of things right, which so many other movies do wrong. First of all, the characters are actually being somewhat likable. Normally these sort of movie, that have teenage characters in it, start to get on your nerves after a while, especially when some of them start doing some incredibly stupid and unlikely things. I never felt that this movie was going down that road as well.

The movie besides does a pretty decent job at telling its story. It's actually nice to see that the movie takes its time to develop things and don't get into the 'action' right away. It's actually telling you a story, instead of using its story as an excuse to have as many gruesome killings in it as possible. Also the non-linear storytelling does add to some of the movie its originality. Yes, it's still a very clichéd movie but at least things get brought differently this time, which lets the movie sort of work out as a refreshing one, even despite not being all that original.

The actual plot still remains a bit shaky. I mean, the whole killer aspect of the movie is being a bit too far fetched, even for my taste. The movie right now is being like a combination of a typical teenage slasher and a horror movie with supernatural aspects in it. It makes the movie feel a bit like an unbalanced one at times and also a bit of a mixed bag. Sometimes things work out but at other moments it makes the movie a bit too much of a ridicules and far fetched one.

But really, as a whole this movie is being a pretty good and enjoyable one. Especially when you are into the genre, this movie is worth giving a shot.

The best story which is based on real events. well I didn't know what to expect from this movie to start with,but as the movie progressed slowly but surely it got me involved in it like a good thriller should the acting is fine cant remember any particular exceptional performance, but the story and direction were very powerful.

there were huge amount of twists not that much violence but i think it would leave you thinking for the rest of the night as to are people actually ungrateful to live!!!!!! gr8 movie and I would advise it to every thriller movie fan..... Based on the teaser(which was very long) so the movie will be better

I don't have much to say except this- once all those Hollywood movies that rely on a CGI creature/monster, tons of blood, gore, and fake, sudden scares are long forgotten, this one will definitely stand out. This is a dramatic, moving, and nonetheless truly frightening psychological thriller. I enjoyed this teaser better than any other (the reason being- its beautiful score and stunning performances from Richmond Arquette and Darcy Fowers) This is not your traditional horror movie, this is what movies is all about. P.S You'll enjoy it more if you watch it on a DVD system, in the dark, by yourself, on the biggest TV set you can find =]
