Featured reviews
A unemployed woman finds a job in a ugly looking
hotel where she meet an old woman who hires her.
The woman who seems very nice has a dark secret,
and a dark agenda.
Besetment is obviously a B-movie, there's no doubt
about that, however you don't see that in the production,
direction, maybe in the acting, nothing else.
This film could have been much better if it was a bit longer and added some more 'meat' to the characters. The ending seemed very rushed and although it was more symbolic then adding much to the film! I thought the cast was good and the characters were also very good! It didn't drag as it was only one hour 15 minutes long! I think they should have added an extra 15 minutes at the end to show the child's story and this could have lead to another film... I feel this was a good 5 or 6 out of 10 film overall! But missing some key details and back stories of all characters! A small cast but a well worked film!
You can tell it's extremely low production, but it was a really interesting/messed up plot. Watchable for horror fans.
Most horror films dehumanise men, regardless of the sex of the victims; this one has a female villain, and it doesn't work any better. Amanda is out of work and desperately seeking to get away from her alcoholic mother. Out of the blue she lands a job that is not really commuting distance, so it is agreed she will stay over during the week. It entails working at a small hotel in the middle of nowhere, one that doesn't appear to have any guests, and is run by a matronly old woman, and her son who although not an imbecile is totally under his mother's thumb.
Three weeks or so into her tenure, Amanda receives some startling news: she is pregnant. This is startling indeed because she has not had sex, like ever. Difficult to believe in this day and age outside of an Amish, Moslem or Orthodox Jewish sect. So how did she get pregnant? The flashback is, well, grotesque, and that's without the incest. The woman who runs the hotel is clearly as mad as a box of frogs if she thinks she can get away with what she plans.
There would have been a relatively happy ending, but they had to go and spoilt it. Don't watch this one if you are easily disturbed; stick to films that won't give you nightmares, like those about zombies and vampires.

I have pretty low standards and I don't ever care to write reviews but I've GOT to say that THIS was the worse movie I've ever watched. The. Worst. You can tell that there was no budget. Like, at all.

- GoofsWhen the sheriff enters the hotel he quickly runs up the stairs. It cuts back to a deputy then back to him as he comes back down the stairs. When he reaches the bottom you can clearly see a cameraman, standing in the back door with a camera on a tripod.
