A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

In ancient times Isobel Redwood (Danielle Bux) is accused of killing her son and is hung as a witch. Her body is cut up into 9 pieces and buried. The tree is cursed as is the house/ pig farm of St.Jonas. Other children die there and dare others to touch the tree. A mom (Sarah Rose Denton) with two children Emma (Lucy Clarvis) and Jake (Lawrence Weller) unknowingly move into St. Jonas. Neighborhood bullies force Jake to play Ouija Board in the barn with the expected negative results.The film starts off interesting and maintains interest in spite of the lame mother. The characters were not really developed that well. I enjoyed the ghost/witch/haunting story watching it cold without reading the back cover. (Okay I did read the back cover but quickly forgot it.) The problem with the back cover and IMDB is that the second word is a plot spoiler which ruins the twist. It is like knowing the twist in "The Other" before you watch it. If you plan on watching the film, don't read about it.Guide: F-bomb, sex? nudity (Lucy Jane Clarvis)

Im not saying this film is a terrible one,& should avoid.Being I enjoy Film Genres(&sub-Genres that are made,too)such as Horror,Sci- Fi,Thrillers,&even have become also a fan of FFF/Found Footage Films,etc.Although TBH/To Be Honest,it is a movie that I would honestly say is more or less,predictable-like many movies are.But I would at least recommend watching it if your in the mood to,or are merely hoping to pass the time w/a movie that isn't half-bad.Ona Sidenote-I do have to say that I've become rather frustrated that there has become a point that there are So MANY films made by various&likely"self thought"of,maybe even"self taught"as well,when it comes to"Film- Makers"w/the films released or being made.&are worse than the traditional yet tolerably watchable B-/B-Minus type of movies!Yet Altogether this is a decent film,that is decently enjoyable for its length,quality,even though it has actors I've never seen before-but IMHO+TBH,it makes for being more of the traditional B- Movie!! :)

After watching this film, I see it less as a feature film, but more of a resume for the director, as he strives to get a job as a professional filmmaker.This is undoubtedly a amateur/homemade production: the cast seems to outnumber the crew (with possibly some overlap) and the writer/director, James Crow, also credits himself as producer, cinematographer, editor, casting (big giveaway there) and lyric writer.So as a resume, I say well done. You obviously have quite a bit of technical skill -- the horror scenes were generally well done and your framing wasn't bad (you didn't overdo it with the closeups, for example). I hope somebody in "the biz" notices and gives you a position as assistant or third-unit director on a future project.As a film, however, it is less than stellar. The acting really is bad. As more than one reviewer has noted, the film is awash with over-acting (for example, the nurse warning our heroes not to get too optimistic about their father's recovery from a coma. Cringeworthy!) The lead actress isn't bad, but most of the others seem more like friends of the director than professional actors. The plot is a bit confused, and our director doesn't really help make some events less difficult to comprehend (especially the ending, as it seems blinking at the wrong time may make you miss something pivotal) . Dialogue is somewhat pointless too.Some nicely done set pieces make some of this film watchable, but I really wouldn't recommend it as entertainment.

I've seen some bad movies...really. I've seen bad movies with a good sized budget, but also good low budget movies. But this one fell way too short, and did so quickly. Nevermind the campfire opening, I didn't care much for it. But come on, if someone told me not to believe 'what they say about isobelle' when I buy a house, I would ask a bit more than 'what' and be done. Also, despite the overkill of turning around - peekabo or not - scenes, there were some that were just horrible. Mere gasps at times if it were real warranted a substantial scream at the very least. And what's up with the dad? He's in a coma, but by all appearances he looks like he just could've been sleeping. Totally unconvincing. Not to mention the oh so charming nurse telling the daughter not to get her hopes up. I'd slap her she had said that to me.Anyways, what do I know? I'm not a director. But I think this guy wasn't exactly either.
