Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

ironhorse_somo This movie had the potential to be pretty darn good. The historical aspect involved made it even more interesting. The acting ranged from passable (the leading man, who comes across as not likable at all,) to strong (Skeritt.) The plot was fairly good, until just after the half-way point, but left some threads hanging that I kept expecting to be tied up, but they never were. The ending was nothing short of unfortunate. It was as if the writers couldn't come up with a good ending, and took the cheap route out. I can think of a couple of endings that would've earned this movie a solid 6 or 7 rating. Unfortunately, the writers couldn't, so they're stuck with a 4 - and I'm stuck with my disappointment.

Troubleboy The schizo plot is an interesting concept, but it's been done before and to much greater affect in 'Identity.'For Sale By Owner' plods along at the pace of the river that it's set against and Tom and Kris, pretty much, email in their performances.The male and female lead - whose names are forgettable - at least to this viewer are wooden and uninspired.I gave it six for location, but there's no tension and the film is repetitive (doors that slam and lock by themselves, shadowy movement behind the main characters, etc).This film won't enhance any careers.

Guy Lotgering I am giving this movie 5 stars because while it may have been confusing in parts I did enjoy the cinematography and the plot was interesting (when I thought there was one). The acting wasn't bad but it certainly could have been better. The movie kept my attention and I really thought this movie was going to have a great twist. There were many unanswered questions and I was hoping for great ending to bring it all together. Instead the movies it just ended and leaves feeling short changed. It as almost as if the director didn't know how to end the movie and decides to end the movie in a psychiatric ward as if none of it ever happened. Pretty poor ending for a movie with such promise.

dbborroughs Confused and confusing horror tale about a restoration architect who goes to restore and old home in Virginia and runs across evidence of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Strange things happen and people die…maybe. I'm sure this makes sense in someone's mind but to be perfectly honest I doubt anyone outside of the filmmakers will have any idea what's going on. At the start the film creates a great sense of place and it begins to build some tension and then you begin to wait for something to happen. Actually you begin to wonder "did I just miss something". There is a point relatively early on when the film begins to feel like you've missed a reel and the whys and the hows have been taken away. Why is the house locked? Why are these characters doing anything? It makes no sense. And then the denouncement at the end comes and its like WTF? It's a HUGE "WTF?". I was left shaking my head. What is this film? Well it's a mess, but beyond that, I have no idea. I'm going to guess that the actors were given a good script and they filmed it, and then someone came in and re-shot stuff and re-cut it and turned a well acted, good looking film into a complete mess. I mean this had to work at some point because the performances and the other aspects of the film do not seem to have been a paycheck job. Rather they seem like this was a film that everyone cared about. I can't believe the film as it's on the screen now is any sort of film that anyone would care about on any level. 3 out of 10 because the script is such a mess it pulls everything down
