Awaiting

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

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

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

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.

Don't have a whole lot to say about this flick, it's not terrible or anything but it fails to really do anything new. Seemed to have a good budget, the actors/actresses all did a fine job, and the effects were solid but every thing this film brought to the table just felt like things I have seen in tons of other horror films.

Still was able to hold my interest til the credits and the last 20 minutes were pretty thrilling but nothing too memorable or unpredictable ever really happened. Not a bad movie, but pretty forgettable and not one I would suggest going out of your way to see.
