Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Woodyanders A beautiful woman drowns her two children and then commits suicide. Her curse spreads throughout a small Arizona town by possessing young mothers. It's up to intrepid psychic investigator Dr. David Stern (a hopelessly bland and underwhelming portrayal by David Patrick Stern) and helpful psychic reader Carmelita (stiffly played by the pretty, but blah Maria Esquivel) to stop said curse before it's too late. Sound good? Well, it just ain't. Writer/director Jose L. Cruz relates the dull, meandering, and uneventful narrative at an excruciatingly sluggish pace, generates absolutely zero tension or spooky atmosphere, and goes way overboard on a numbing and energy-sapping surplus of terrible drippy dialogue. The cruddy (far from) special effects, a limp conclusion, a bathtub-set murder set piece that's too poorly staged to have any real impact, and the across the board wooden acting from a lame no-name cast add further abject insult to already appalling injury. Worst of all, this clunker takes the fairly novel and interesting urban legend of La Llorona and does simply nothing remotely scary or inspired with it. Instead this flick just lies flat-out dead on your TV screen for what seems like the longest, most boring, and dissatisfying 87 minutes in one of the inner circles of bad cinema hell. A real clunker.

Five-Dollar-Bin-Fanatic So, I bought this as a piggy back to another terrible movie, The Haunting at Marston Manor. Upon seeing that, I was glad to see that there was a movie that could possibly be better than that. Boy, was I disappointed. I make movies with a friend, and they're not the best. We're amateurs and we know it. We know that they could be a lot better. But at least ours have SUBSTANCE. It was so bad, that about four times during the course my family had agreed to turn it off, but decided to give it more time to redeem itself. It did not. The graphics and "animation" (if you can even call it that.) literally made me laugh so hard I almost wet myself (especially the news program. A photo from the frigging' scene in the movie? What, you couldn't even take the time to take another picture of him? No, I guess they just couldn't spare to spend anymore of their $200 budget, huh?)Just, unless you want your IQ to be lowered fifty points, avoid this movie at all costs. It's not worth it!

Billy_Crash If I could give a negative number as a vote instead of "one," I would definitely do it."Haunted from Within" has problems on all fronts: The story is extremely weak. Detective Lupino actually tells the doctor that he'll be back in a minute. There is a slight fade out as Lupino exits, then a fade in as he returns - and that need for the character to leave is never addressed and serves absolutely no purpose. Furthermore, the movie is loaded with "talking heads" and too many people on phones, which is absolutely ridiculous. The directing is god awful, the acting is atrocious, the editing is third rate, the music is abysmal, the cinematography is shameful and the lighting is horrendous.I have only seen one low budget movie worse than this ("Gone the Way of Flesh"). Writer/Director/Producer Cruz should be embarrassed. I wouldn't even use the DVD as a coaster for drinks.

aujicj Like most horror movie covers, it drew me in i was like ooh this looks good. Its an okay story that if in the hands of a modern director would have been good. It won't make you spill popcorn all over the floor, but it won't put you to sleep either. towards the end it gets really good, but the middle will make you a little impatient. It was better than Dream Home and Rosemary's Baby. It didn't quite spook me like The Blair Witch Project. Judge for yourself because I am one of those people who prefer a good can't get it off my mind scare that makes me turn all the lights on in the house. That and I just don't take to well to the oldie Scary movies and other related scare tactics. I'm not saying don't watch it. I'm saying judge for yourself.
