ThiefHott Too much of everything

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

sweetwitch I saw this movie for the first time last night and while I liked most of the movie the ending was unfinished. The premise is that a little girl went missing 250 years ago and since then her mother has been searching for her.I read how the movie ends in the Q & A section but it was so much less than described. The climax was exciting though how the mother knew exactly where the crypt of a ruin she'd never been to was in the dark was a bit predictable. And at one point the alive little girl speaks with the ghost of the dead girl and comments "Your mother is looking for you." To which the ghost girl replies "I know." That's it. No more dialog about why the ghost girl is avoiding her mother.In the final scene, the mother and girl put flowers on the new grave of the ghost girl. OK, but where are the ghosts to join in this conclusion? A 250 year old mystery and search is over, shouldn't they have been there to find their rest as well? If you don't mind movies that end sloppily, this is a good one, but I would much rather have had a scene added where they had the funeral for the ghost girl with the townspeople there and the ghost mother and ghost daughter reuniting and finding peace. As it is, it is unfinished.

black_wolf_1970 I liked this movie a lot. It was of the few movies that had both a good story, good acting did not see the need to be full of blood and gore or have a bunch of nude girls running around. This movie relied more on script the effects which is also refreshing. For a low budget movie this was very well done. I know many people will say it was lame, boring, dull etc etc because of all the reasons I liked it. I admit some of the acting was a bit strained and some over the top but over all it is a good thinking movie. Of course the ending for the movie is not true to real life as Lucy Keyes has never been found nor the reason for disappearance ever known, but it was other wise a very well done movie.

mswritesalot I caught this film last night and was very pleasantly surprised. Other reviewers have covered the basic plot, so I won't bother here. I have to say that I was most impressed by the little girl who played contemporary Lucy. That tot can act! She was cute without being cutesy, and solid without being wooden or robotic, as some child actors can be.It was fun to see Jamie Donnelly on screen again. Although she has changed quite a lot from her Grease days, the voice and the eyes are still the same. Living in a small (pop. 3000) town myself, I found myself chuckling about the rather clichéd "town eccentric" character Donnelly played and thinking to myself, "Why OF COURSE there's a town eccentric!" But her character was central to the plot and she turned out to be more than I expected.I recommend this film for those who want a spooky yarn without all the slash-and-gore contemporary film makers seem to think all ghostly tales must have. It does have some bloody moments, but compared to most of "Let's dismember people" films being made today, they're not too bad.

ed-707 John Stimpson has woven a suspenseful tale using a local legend and significant historical documentation to keep you on the edge of your seat. Taking place in a rural New England town, he takes advantage of the local color and scenery to make even the legend to appear very real. Melding modern technology with pre Revolutionary War scenes, he keeps you guessing. Even when you think you have figured it out, he throws you another curve building to and unexpected climax. The cinematography is spectacular. You owe it to yourself to see this one. Keep up the great work John, and we will be looking forward to your next venture.
