Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
jacobjohntaylor1 This a very scary movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also a has great special effects. It scarier then The silences of the lambs could ever be. My cousin Eric Shewige is one of the actors in this movie. He is a great actor see this movie.
Sean Jump Written by Richard Christian Matheson, son of the legendary Richard Matheson but a fine horror writer in his own right, It Waits is a surprisingly high quality low-budget horror film. Cerina Vincent stars as our heroine, a Forest Ranger tortured by the death of her best friend and drinking herself deeper into oblivion every day. But when a strange creature escapes from the forest-shrouded cavern in which it has been imprisoned for centuries, she must overcome her personal troubles and rise up to face the evil that is hunting her.It Waits benefits from several factors, not the least of them being Cerina Vincent's personal charisma. The beautiful actress makes her character come to life, and at least as much of the story involves her struggles with her inner demons as it does her fight to the finish with the monster from the forest in which she finds herself stranded. The forest itself is virtually a character in its own right, stretching ominous and implacable in every direction around Vincent's watchtower, harboring secrets and even demons in its black shadows. As for the monster, it is a fearsome one, and one which reeks of evil insatiable. Interestingly, the demon seems to possess a vile sense of humor--no, it never blurts out any ridiculous one-liners, or for that matter ever speaks at all, so don't worry--but it does enjoy stalking and terrorizing its prey, toying with them until it swoops in for the kill.Suspense is well-managed, and the characters caught up in the monster's wrath generally behave realistically given the bizarre situation they are in. Special effects are minimal but sufficient when utilized, and while not as gory as some might wish the film still offers up several brutal and bloody moments. An effective low-budget horror film that deserves a bigger audience than it has reached so far, It Waits is efficiently written and executed and is a great showcase for the gifted Cerina Vincent. At times chilling and blessed with great atmosphere from beginning to end, It Waits is just waiting for another viewer to give it a chance.
bobwildhorror Really not a bad flick, but hardly a novel experience. We've got several clichéd main characters trapped in the deep Canadian woods. Great locations. A monster on the loose. A lead actress (Cerina Vincent) with a tank top. Good cinematography. Even a lovable parrot that somehow acts like a homing pigeon.Oh, did I mention the MOR soundtrack? For some reason, this picture feels the need to break into song every so often. We get music by Melanie Monroe (?) designed to underline the poignancy of the moments...with a sledge hammer.Meanwhile, the monster flies around making Predator-like sounds. Why, oh why, has that noise become such a horror movie staple? A passable time waster, but it with a little work it might have been so much more.
kai ringler like i said about tooth fairy i will say about this one,, not the worst horror movie ever, and not even close to the worst. the thing the two movies have in common, writer, producer, stephen j. canell. the a team, and hits of nbc in the 80,90's, anyway back to the movie, the monster itself could have used a total makeover, my youngest stepson, said it looked like an alien. i did like the movie set in the forest, that was an excellent call there. overall i did like most of the movie, it was average, maybe a little better. danielle st. clair, was worth watching, especially half naked. the plot wasn't too bad, but i didn't buy blasting the rocks with dy namite to bring back the spirit of the creature. it's worth watching i think,, the thing with horror movies is you can't take them tooo seriously,, there' not perfect and there hard to come by , so don't be so hard on this one,, it wasn't too bad. like i said, won't win any Oscars or awards.. but i've seen way worse.. by the way the parrot stole the show, always love those talking animals,,,
