June

I enjoyed the movie, however, was the budget for this movie low, That they couldn't have a wardrobe change... The little girl was in the same outfit every single day. That kind of bothered me, if they cared so much for that little girl, by her address.

Don't upset June. Really? I've seen more consequences to being asked to wear a mask in a supermarket. The acting is mainly good, so that's why it has any stars. I suppose it gets better towards the end...but I didn't get that far the second time, I think I fell asleep...or maybe had another stroke.

To be fair, I've seen a lot worse films. This is a supernatural thriller which takes its influences from films such as 'Carrie', 'Bless the Child' and 'The Omen' so don't expect to see much originality. The acting's not bad but the script leaves a lot to be desired - I guess you can only work with what you're given. The narrative is rather simple and brings nothing new to the genre, however the cinematography is superb and a joy to watch. It's entertaining enough as movies go, but I can't help feeling that it could have been so much better. You're never going to make a film as beloved as the classics (The Omen, Rosemary's Baby etc) but with a more interesting plot, that stands up on its own, things could have been greatly improved.

No time like October to watch June. This film starts with a sacrifice taking place in the woods at night. Things get fouled up and the baby gets saved from death but only after getting hit by beams of light from the sky. The baby was June who is around ten now and circling around the foster scene. She is a very different child which makes her a target of ridicule and when she gets angry instead of turning green she has scanner type powers where she causes bad things to happen. She can even stop rain. The crux of the story is that she needs to complete the ritual they started all those years ago.

This wasn't too bad but you don't really care for any of the characters. Some of the things she can do is pretty cool. Mediocre at best but there are a thousand others worse.

This is enjoyable horror. It's very well acted, the script is good and the plot plausible for modern horror. It's true there are no real surprises once the piece is up and running, but it has good similarities to Carrie (relationship development with parents and others), and a couple of points that work better, such as the cuteness and extra youth of June and her peers, and the less over-the-top special effects, which are good. That the budget went for good special effects at perhaps the expense of a larger cast was an intelligent stroke, and I'm almost inclined to give this an 8. There is a a welcome spread here of tension leading to moments of horror frenzy, and enough clever mystery to keep one interested. I'd not be surprised if future opinion will regard this sincerely professional production as one that should have enjoyed more credibility and ratings than current.
