Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
dfn-29032 Really enjoyed the story-line. Looking forward to more episodes.
Ed-Shullivan The story has been done a dozen times before and this version is a poor imitation of the 2000 Universal picture Erin Brockovich that starred Julia Roberts for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress.The premise is the teenage girls of a small town are coming down with a mysterious illness so a big city female lawyer named Joanna Hanley (Kristin Kreuk) who used to live in the small town called Milltown returns home to fight a local steel mill who has been dumping toxic waste near where the girls play soccer. Although the girls are healthy enough looking with no significant weight loss, the sick girls all still have a full head of hair and they all look like they could do shampoo commercials but yet they are all twitching uncontrollably and their hopes and dreams are now shattered so a lawsuit is the only way to settle a hefy financial settlement. The female lawyer Joanna Hanley who plays Samson goes to court against the Goliath law firm owned by her own creepy father David Hanley (Alex Carter). There are far too many secrets in Milltown and it would appear that Joanna Hanley's creepy father is responsible for impregnating more than one mother and loving then leaving them.The musical score usually used to maintain some level of dramatic effect would have been better suited for a public washroom so people would not want to stay too long. After watching the entire 10 episode mini-series and listening to the constant dribble from the on again off again townspeople's strained relationships Mrs. Shullivan did eventually apologize to me for making me sit through this poorly executed dramatic mini-series.I give it a 4 out of 10 because otherwise I have no explanation for sitting through the entire 10 episode series.
cherylfentie Took a couple of episodes to get into it but once I was I enjoyed the series. It was like reading a book that you really get into. It is a mystery about how the girls acquired their strange symptoms, then secrets from the past become uncovered and the characters become real with relationships and emotions. There is a strong cast with great acting. Eagerly anticipating the next episodes!!
pegaholic This is what more Canadian TV should be like! The story is well delivered by the strong cast. The locations are beautiful - it's nice to see a show that actually had real scenes outside rather than always in a studio. I can't wait for more!
