rather disappointing
on March 29, 2015
Posted by: josephd
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'd like to give this a higher rating based on production values and the quality of the performances. Robert Englund fans get to see him do some serious acting, and the other characters (particularly those portrayed by Fiona Dourif and Corey Taylor) are also well done. The story just wasn't there, however, or if it was it was more difficult to follow than it needed to be. Just as I became immersed in the story, I found myself distracted by thoughts such as "What are they doing there now?" or "Where did he/she come from and why?" The story may have been more coherent with an additional ten minutes of run time to "tie things up",or it may have been an effort at clever film making gone awry. Unfortunately, I found this effort...rather disappointing.

An effective thriller

Verified Purchase:Yes
An effective thriller, well written and acted. A bit long, but worth the commitment, as none of the 136 minutes seemingly deserved to be cut. Moved a bit slowly at times, but effective character development takes time. Corrupt cops, sympathetic ladies of the evening, Russian mobsters, and a stunning performance from Denzel, complete with novel use of power tools. I give it a 4 simply because some of the plot elements will seem familiar (think Eastern Promises and Man on Fire). The ending sets this up for a sequel or two, and I hope it becomes a trilogy as I'd watch this McCall in action again.

a solId low budget thriller
on March 20, 2015
Posted by: josephd
Verified Purchase:Yes
A pair of quirky city dwelling newlyweds adjourn to the secluded family getaway in the woods for their honeymoon. Strange behavior, bright unexplained lights and terror ensue. The premise has been done frequently, and fans of the genre will recognize an amalgam of plot twists from similar movies. This was sufficiently well done, however, to come off as more than simply derivative. I give it a solid three.

A pretty good little b-grade horror flick.

If you're a fan of the genre, you'll probably enjoy this. Government conspiracies, demonic possession, all wrapped up in a creepy 70's vibe. This was a pretty good little b-grade horror flick. I enjoyed it and will keep it for a future watch.

A quality piece of audio equipment.

The performance of this speaker is excellent. The sound quality is impressive for its size and, critically for those fans of a variety of musical genres, the bass response in not overwhelming. And it is...loud! The weather resistance is a bonus.

A solid B-grade horror flick.

A reasonably effective very low budget effort. One major location and three principal actors in an apocalyptic scenario that is primarily character, rather than action-driven. Well enough written and acted, I found it worth the watch.

An interesting supernatural thriller.

Part family drama, part occult thriller. Well written and acted, and worth the time in my opinion. Just don't expect your typical ghost movie gore etc., (although there is some of that). More about following the twists as you try and figure out...what the hell happened to gramma!

engrossing sci-fi drama
on November 30, 2014
Posted by: josephd
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not quite what I expected based on the synopsis. Comparisons to Blade Runner, and to a lesser extent I Robot are unavoidable. A bit longer and more philosophical than the average sci-fi action flick, seemed to have a good budget, cast and script. Enjoyable, just prepare to devote a little more time and thought to the endeavor.
