Look Away

Either way, I really enjoyed it. Very atmospheric. Some people might not like the amount of questions the ending leaves unanswered, but I felt like it really benefited from not telling you anything for certain, just leaving you horrified and wondering.

The first part is excellent; touching, creepy, interesting and really very chilling at times. A mix of believable characters and relationships, very well acted. The stage is set perfectly, but unfortunately in the second half the violence somehow undoes the tension already established. It's as if they couldn't resist the temptation to overdo it. Less would have been much more. Rather than build on the psychological and atmospheric creepiness, they throw it away with a rather unimaginative, predictable story arc, where the very dramatic actions feel over the top, and lack impact. A shame, as this really could have been excellent. Nonetheless, worth a watch.

I caught this on Showtime with time to kill and my expectations were low, but wow, nice surprise. Love the atmospheric feel, and wow India did a great job! For some reason, i thought it may be some kind of Lifetime movie type deal, i was soooo wrong. It kept my attention the whole movie, and with India that's not hard to do. It's worth a watch.

The biggest thing I can't stand is when they make a gorgeous girl somehow unpopular and bullied. What a laugh.

Besides that, it's an obviously predictable storyline, but of course, they kind of told us what was to come by the first frame. There are definitely some twists and turns, though.

I liked the cinematography and the settings. The snow and winter was a nice touch.

Everyone died super easy though. One of them happened to someone I know, and coming from an underweight teen girl, kind of a little ridiculous.

There was a twist towards the end, and the last 20 minutes had me on edge for sure. I actually wasn't sure what would happen.

But then you realize you are in the last minute of the film, and that's it.... They built so much up for the ending to feel really rushed. Like they just ran out of patience, money, or both and just said screw it.

It's got a few twists, and is definitely worth a watch as an independent lower budget horror movie. The acting was very good too. But that dang ending, what a letdown.

I loved this movie! The motley crew of characters were beautifully portrayed by the cast. From jason Isaacs self indulgent, perfectionism - to Mira Sorvino's disturbing deep-seated sadness and her hunger for her husbands attention - to John C. MacDonald's portrayal of the school bully, who deep inside knows he could never get the attentions of the beautiful Maria. Yes, he was incredibly believable, they all were.

And lets not forget (how could we she was SO good,)India Eisley. She was exceptional to say the least and she's a new find for me. Needless to say, I want to see more of her. Her portrayal of the demure, disturbed, invisible school girl to her confident, angry alter-ego twin, was flawless. Her expressions alone were noteworthy. I think and hope we're going to see more of this young actress in the near future.

Was this a perfect movie, no. There are flaws and I think the ending needed a bit more attention but I was in for the long haul within the first 10 minutes and I'm glad I stayed the course because it delivered. IMO it's worth a watch and definitely worth your time.
