A Haunting at Silver Falls

"A Haunting at Silver Falls" failed to deliver on so many levels. And for a ghost movie it was anything but scary and below mediocrity.

There were absolutely no scare moments in the movie, and there wasn't anything scary or even remotely horror to this. And suffering from a poor storyline and a failure to scare, concentrating on the movie started to become a struggle, and it was hard not to pick up my phone and start doing something else.

The story is about Jordan (played by Alix Elizabeth Gitter) who comes to a small town, where she finds a ring somewhere in the forest, and of course she puts it on. The ring is linked to the dark past of an event that took place in the town, and Jordan starts to see the apparition of a dead girl, while coming closer and closer to the truth.

I will say that the story did have some parts that could have been great, but ultimately failed to do so. I think it was because the movie was predictable and because of the complete lack of scares, that the movie failed to entertain me.

As for the actors and actresses in the movie, well I will say that they actually did good jobs with the roles they were given. But they were fighting an uphill battle against a predictable storyline and a very mediocre chain of events throughout the entire movie.

If you are looking for a good ghost movie to make the small hairs on the back of your neck stand up, you had better look elsewhere, because this movie will fail to do the trick.

And to top it off, the movie starts out with "inspired by true events". Right, well at least the dead twin apparitions was not the source of inspiration. On the plus side, then the movie at least wasn't one of those God awful "found footage" type of movies.

For a "B" movie, they had a decent budget, and you can tell it. (Some reviewers calling this a low budget "B" Movie. I wouldn't call 2.5 million , low budget. Of course it isn't the Hollywood ga-zillion dollar budget, but Iv'e seen LOW BUDGET Movies (10,000 to 300,000)A BIG difference.

This movie is more of a "thriller" type haunting, then a haunted "HORROR" movie. The story unique and paced well. There are some small plot holes but nothing major enough that I couldn't continue to watch the movie and enjoy it for what it offered.It also had some occasional surprising and interesting twists and was directed well thru out most of the film.

Most of the acting is passable/acceptable, with some scenes/characters less then mediocre. Cinematography/camera and sound was well done and score/screenplay also nicely done.

The make-up and CGI effects were well done. Appropriately creepy and realistic without being over done.

If you are a thriller/haunted ghosts fan, and wont miss the intense scares/violence/blood, and perhaps enjoy a good lifetime movie on occasion, then this movie is right up your alley.

A young teenager is haunted by a ghost in a small town. Now she must uncover the truth behind this haunting...

First off I was quite surprised at how well this film was made and the low rating received considering the budget. Everything from the acting to the plot was outstanding. I was very well pleased with the lead acting and the story. Not to mention that according to the film this is based on a true story and that always leaves you thinking of the possibilities. The special effects were a bit flawed but it could have been worse.

Definitely a good choice for a late night scare. 6 of 10!

It isn't a horror that'll scare you witless, there aren't any jump scares or scenes of bloody violence. It's quite a simple ghost seeking vengeance plot. Slightly creepy, but nothing you'll lose sleep over. If anything you understand the ghost(s) isn't going to hurt the protagonist and just wants her to know something, and it's all about finding out what that something is, so there's little threat involved.

I enjoyed it though! I found myself wanting to see the end and it wasn't a bad story overall.

Worth a shot if you're into stories and can live without brilliant cinematography and things that'll come crawling out of your closet when you try to get to sleep afterwards.

It did make me wonder what would have happened if she'd gone to Silver Falls with Robbie at the end to see what he had to show her. Maybe it was just a lame come on like she thought, though...

It was Alright, the acting was hilarious but the storyline and stuff otherwise is really good. I feel like, to watch 1x every few years is best, it's just..the acting wasn't the best (not saying the actors aren't, they're probably great) in this film. I do love the storyline though! It's great.

I just feel like most of the movie could've been filmed on an iphone XD, but who am I to judge! It's honestly okay for a first time watch :) it's got an okay plot-twist In my opinion, It's going in my list of favorites, because, again, the story. It was great and if it was a book I'd definitely read it a LOT!
