Ashes

It's the ideal blend of comedy and horror, with the mockumentary style adding a great twist. It begins all sweet and innocent, then suddenly turns into a full-on scary movie. The humor comes in at just the right moments, giving you a break from the fear. The actors did an amazing job. Ignore the negative reviews; the dynamic between the grandmother and mother is hilarious. I would've loved to be part of this set-it looks like they had a blast making it. This movie is a wild ride from start to finish, keeping you on the edge of your seat while also making you laugh out loud. The balance between scares and laughs is spot on, making it a must-watch. If you're a fan of horror comedies, this is definitely one to add to your list.

A surprisingly well-done horror. It's half mockumentary, featuring interviews with the characters about their haunted experiences, which make up the rest of the film. It does admittedly have a bit of a languid ending, but the proper creepy moments and even a few good laughs throughout make up for it, in my humble opinion. It seems to me to be a commentary on matriarchy, which others might have picked up on if they gave it more than 10-15 minutes. But, hey, I guess female-led horror films aren't for ever fanboy with a keyboard. Anyhow, it definitely doesn't deserve 1 star, by a long shot.

First of all the, the lead actress was GREAT and I loved the mother character. They did a really good job on the flow of terror and periods of needed rest in between those truly creepy scenes. I became riveted as the movie progressed and couldn't turn away. It wasn't cookie-cutter, it had unexpected turns and at times grueling suspense. I thought they handled the subject of ashes in a way I've never encountered in horror flicks--it actually made me think more about the topic. Anyway, I don't think I'll sleep alone tonight with those images in my head!

This horror film is a surprisingly good watch. It blends mockumentary-style interviews with the characters' eerie experiences, creating an engaging story. While the ending is a bit slow, the film has plenty of creepy moments and even some laughs that balance it out. It's clear that female-led horror isn't for everyone, but I'm giving this an 8 because it's genuinely entertaining, and I was on the edge of my seat until the very end. It's a refreshing take on horror with a unique narrative style that deserves more recognition. Also, we need to support good films like this to encourage more diverse and creative storytelling in the genre.

Just another piece of trash that someone spent a maximum of $10,000.00 total budget to make. Even worse, the story is as bad as the acting and everything else about this "film".
