FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
GL84 After a devastating accident, a woman comes to believe her twin sisters' recently-deceased son has come back through her new child to continue his relationship with her daughter and must stop his possessive nature.This was an incredibly limp and lifeless affair as there's hardly anything worthwhile here. The biggest plus here is that it does a rather nice job of making the possession seem realistic, from the drawings of the future to the secretive behavior in the twins' relationship as well as the marks on her body. All of this is nicely explained and given some real thought, especially in the later half when that behavior starts to get into rather freaky territory with their growing attachment and expensive gifts that seem to hide something more to it. It also features one rather cool sequence where the daughters' thrashing around in bed and they come rushing in to see what's wrong, and once seeing it's a charm bracelet as the cause remove it immediately only to find a supernatural cause flying in and wrecking the room. However, nothing is really interesting here due to the film's nature since it can't really go too extreme or terrifying, literally cutting this one off from the points that would've sold this one the most. The fact that the possession really amounts to mouthing off at the mother, hiding away from her to go be with the sister in secret and not sharing anything about their activities together and in general not showing off any kind of truly thrilling or terrifying actions here is what really stands out since this allows more for the network audience to connect to the characters and the situations yet plagues this as a horror effort. That leaves a lot of rather boring scenes that don't have any impact due to how toned down or brief all these supposed scares are which in the end leaves it really wanting despite a few solid moments here and there.Rated Unrated/PG-13: Mild Violence, some Language and intense themes of child loss and trauma.
Spikeopath A Hallmark Channel horror film that is based on Lisa Grunwald's novel New Year's Eve. The plot is based around two identical twin sisters played by Kim Raver, both of whom have 7 year old children called Sarah and David, both of whom have developed a close bond whilst growing up. When David is tragically killed, it becomes apparent that Sarah believes David is still in contact with her, something which causes friction between the twins.Very effective spooker this, with decent literary smarts involving grief and the always fascinating subject of identical twins. Raver's dual performance and that of young Niamh Wilson as Sarah keeps the production on a good footing, while the chills and thrills are capably mounted by director Ralph Hemecker. Not what you would call essential for horror fans, but as TV produced movies go this is a good effort all round. 7/10
JowySiren The only thing I could think of was "just awful". I found some of the scenes, particularly the ending ones, gratuitous and that such a thing can only be forgiven if the movie/show is stylishly slick or or outright exceptional. This movie was neither.Basically, a young boy dies in an accident and his cousin named Sarah is haunted by his spirit(which for some never really well explained reason is evil. Buh?) There's some supposedly creepy things that happen and Sarah ends up being close to death and the mother(who is an identical twin)has to have son for her to survive(since David wants to come back to life).The movie just fails because it has that generic Lifetime feel that both tries too hard yet not hard enough. Only the Sarah girl was any good. Everyone else was just wooden. I have to admit though, I did like the leather costume on one of the twin women. That was pretty cool, but before and after that was either lame(kid in Devil mask? Bah!), needlessly disgusting(I don't think a C-section should have been that graphic. YECH! Only House and CSI could get away with that), or just "meh"(amulets to ward off spirits? How original).If you're a die hard spirit horror fan, you might like it. If not, best to steer clear. I should have.
MrsMercury91 I just LOVED this movie... I had read a comment about Why would David return an Evil Spirit? Answer simply put... A comment from the movie... "David was a stubborn child and always had to have his way".... When a Person suffers a Tragic Death as he did, they won't accept that they are dead...Some people believe, some don't... I am a Believer.... EXCELLENT MOVIE!!! I can't wait for this movie to come out on DVD because I will be the first person in line to buy it..I give this movie way more than the 10 that they allow for you to give...I would like to see more of these kinds of movies. Please put this movie out as soon as possible on DVD Thanks !
