Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

SnoopyStyle Dan (James Tupper), his wife Wendy (Anne Heche), and their three kids; Rebecca (Rebekah Brandes), Mary (Jennifer Stone), and Christopher (Carter Cabassa) move to the rural town of Stull, Kansas. Dan is the new pastor joining Pastor Kingsman (Clancy Brown). Noah (Ethan Peck) is taken with Rebecca and then strange things happen.For the first half, there are some things happening. None of it is scary. They are not creepy. They are at best functional horror tropes. The biggest issue is that nothing happens for a long time. The little bits of something are really nothing. Brandes is a little old to play a teen. Nobody in the family is that compelling. The horror only starts after the midway point and it's too late by then. Despite having Clancy Brown, even the scary parts are nothing. This is really a nothing horror. There is a structural loop around the story which could have been interesting but there is nothing connected to the loop. It all starts with the lust at first sight. He's too creepy for that. The only possible good part is still a nothing.

FlashCallahan In the small town of Stull, Kansas, a young pastor and his devout family come face-to-face with possible evil. Pastor Dan and his wife Wendy thought Stull was the perfect place to raise their teenage daughter, and her younger sister. Shortly after arriving in town, however, the family realise Stull sits atop one of the Seven Gates of Hell, and that the townspeople are determined to herald in a new age of darkness.......Although it may seem on first impression that this is trying to hark back to weird, Gothic horror from the eighties with religious overtones, it's not, it's blatantly ripping off some of the lower budget, lesser seen movies from that era.Most notable references are Children Of The Corn, and Deadly Blessing, two films where the townsfolk are not what they would seem. Go a little deeper, and you could also defence Salem's Lot, and even Lair Of The White Worm.With all these homages, it's pretty difficult to have an original idea, and thanks to a really bloated, slow second act, you really begin to lose interest. It's as if the makers have the set up, and the finale, but spend the middle on a red herring romance, and lots of Basil Expositon.But, even though again it's not original, the last act is pretty shocking, and almost makes up for the second act. The last act is sort of an amalgamation of the ending of Halloween, and strangely, the monster from the Moomins, when everyone had to stay inside.Its a pretty sadistic third act, and it pulls no punches. The final scene is clever, but by the time you get there, you are more relieved knowing that the film is ending.So it's not bad, it's just unoriginal, and leaves too many plot holes.

krycek19 Apart from the slow pace and the predictability, every character in the movie acted abnormal. Even the Family that moved to Stull.Having seen this so called horror movie, I'm left with a big why and one how? How does Pastor Kingsman get in touch with the dad in the family in the first place, when they lived in a big city six states away? Why would they move to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere when they were happy in the city?Why does Pastor Kingsman open the gate to hell and let the devil out, just so he can close it again? Why let the devil out in the first place? Why does the oldest sister trust the creepy Noah? Why are the sisters not telling their parents about the tooth found in the cake? Why does the dad go to the church, when his youngest daughter is clearly sick/possessed? Why is the family not taking her to the hospital? Why will the other family in the house where the brother tries to hide not help him? Why is Noah not warning the family and tell them to get out before it's too late? Why hasn't Noah exposed Kingsman or killed him? Why does the elder sister, who survives don't flee the town or take vengeance on Kingsman?Why do the townspeople of Stull accept that Kingsman worship the devil? Why is this movie so stupid? Don't bother watching this. It's not worth it.

aliciagregg This an okay movie. Good if you need to kill a couple of hours. However, the plot line is bizarre. You are left wondering why they do the things they do. The story does not set you up with any background on the town, and why the townspeople are so weird. Also, they say this is based on events and urban legends surrounding Stull, KS. They missed the mark, and then over exaggerated it. This storyline has nothing to do with anything that has ever happened in Stull, KS. Also, Stull, KS had two strange murders years ago, and is barely a town. It is unincorporated. There is an old church and cemetery where they say satanic rituals are performed, and a few houses, and a few other buildings. Regarding the real Stull and the old church - for reasons unknown to anyone including the land owner, someone tore down the old tiny brick church a few years ago. It is a pile of rubble. However, there is still a staircase underneath the ground, that leads down to no-where. They say that is a gateway to hell and you will feel a powerful pull if you start down the stairs, and lose all track of time (like weeks). And people who have camped near the cemetery have reported seriously bizarre stuff and sounds. There is nothing like the real Stull legends in the movie.Regarding the movie, the children/young adult actors in this movie dominate the film, and if it weren't for them, it would be pretty robotic and dull. Heche was not into this movie at all, it seemed like she felt obligated to be there. Bottomline -- it's definitely more bizarre than scary, so watch it if you are bored and you have seen every other scary flick with a higher rating.
