Awaiting

This movie really touches you psychologically and has plenty of suspenseful moments with some gore thrown into the mix...but the editing makes it a bit difficult to understand why certain things happen, however it's all revealed in time. You will not find this movie "bland" if your taste is for horror. The ending is a real mind bender.

We picked this film from a good number showing to spend our hard earned cash on at Frighfest in London today. Frighfest is a truly excellent festival full of brilliant horror films, however, this is not one of them. Not by a long chalk. Even the production values which were fairly high and the normally excellent Tony Curran couldn't save this God awful film. The main problems with this film, and the issues were numerous, was the terrible script and the terrible acting of Diana Vickers. I don't often give reviews although I do watch many films. The strength of my feeling means that I am compelled to warn horror fans not to spend either their precious time or their money on this film. Instead, watch The Lesson made for much less money, much better acting and very well executed.

You have to have a certain love for this special kind of horror film type. Not really my thing, though I have been proven wrong by some really fine examples (Loved Ones comes to mind). This isn't the worst of them, especially because you have a really fine actor as the bad guy here. A lot of weird things are happening though and our "lead" good guy, seems to struggle to make the right choices.

Certain things you may understand, but of course not all of them. There is violence, there is terror and there is a certain amount of blood too. If you think you can handle it and you are sure you want to watch it, then go ahead. Make your day

Except for the girlfriend part, this is a remake/copy of Cold Comfort, haven't finished it yet to see if it ends differently.

I so didn't like this movie. I even fast forwarded some of it. Just slow going. Very unrealistic. Stupid. Don't recommend.
