Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

johnnygrant007 I was given this film by a friend who thought I might like it and man was he right! Not only was THE HAUNTING of PEARSON PLACE well acted, well written and well Directed it was well shot and well edited. It burned slowly and diliberately. I wasn't expecting much from an Indie film but what I got was so awesome and freaky (in a normal cool way, not a weird one) that I ended up watching the movie a second time that night. And on the second viewing I caught all the clues that were so clearly there the first time. We've become so used to being SPOON FED movies now a days that its great to actually watch a film that makes you think and at the same time forget you're watching a movie. The actors were great, Regen Wilson is going to be huge someday, he reminds me of Jack Nicolson and Tracy Teague, Ken Arnold and Suzi Lorraine were dead perfect. Joe Estevez was sooooo creepy as the landlord that I laughed nervously every time he came on screen. The Guy was freeeeeaaakkkky. This movie Freakeeeed me out and Michael Merino knows exactly when to turn the heat up or let you slowly boil like a frog in hot water, before you know it...it's over. 10 stars simply because it was a low budget Indie film that I enjoyed more than the latest Hollywood poop out there. Watch this film!!!

katherinebooker1031 Some horror movies survive simply on the visceral, others thrive on the intelligence of story. The Haunting of Pearson Place does both with ample measure, going well above it's pay grade.Writer-director Michael Merino does an excellent job of making us consider why couples do the things they do. He reminds us that most bad things that happen can simply be avoided because we don't think to communicate to one another in an honest and real way.The acting is wonderful, and Mick McGuire steals the show as the ever creepy and always dead Jim Shoemaker. Ken Arnold, Regen Wilson and Julie Price are truly the glue that holds this story together. And Tracy Teague is astonishing as the bitch of a wife that brow beats and constantly degrades her loving husband. If I were her "man" in this film I would have killed her character in the first ten minutes. She's that "good"Joe Estevez (yes of the Estevez-Sheen clan) is brilliant as the odd, off-putting caretaker Bob. You're never sure (until it's too late) if "Bob" is a good guy or just wants a tip. He's the creeper of all creepers and wonderful throughout the film.The editing in my view is simple and to the point, no crazy cuts, and you can follow the story without much effort. It's all laid out before you to enjoy. And enjoy it you will.The score and photography are simply inspiring, almost to beautiful for a horror-super natural thriller. But I suppose thats' the point. The beauty amongst the violence or horror.My only main issue with the film is some of the CGI effects are a bit low end, but knowing something about CGI, I've certainly seen worse in $100 million ( Ahem Hunger Ga_es...) films. CGI is tough.Over all this was a wonderful movie that was delicate, creepy, beautiful and ultimately entertaining. What else could one want?

artguy1975 I was at the private screening in Washington, DC for The Haunting of Pearson Place last evening and I have to say I don't recall the last time I had so much fun at the movies! Hollywood take notes...these filmmakers have you in their sights!The Direction, story, acting and photography were excellent. As an artist ( I work in oils) I particularly loved the camera work. Tom Benca the D/P has a fantastic eye, and his skills are second to none. I've seen Hollywood films that look like they were shot by a group of blind monkeys working in the dark...this film is not the case. It's beautiful, and I loved it!If and when this film goes into wide release, rent it, buy it, see it...you will not be disappointed! I LOVED IT...smart, scary and sizzling.

svigue525 I really enjoyed the movie in its entirety. It was definitely a thriller, yet comical. It definitely had its edge of the seat moments. I thought it was creative and tastefully done. Tracy Teague's performance was fabulous. I would definitely recommend this movie to friends and family. I had no idea what the budget was $500 until the release, but i would have guessed it was a lot more. The cast was amazing and the storyline was excellent. The suspense alone had me on the edge of my seat. The cast worked very well together and it showed in the movie. I give the cast and the movie2 thumbs up. It was a job well done.
