Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Jen Riot First off, anyone giving this movie less than a 9 should really re-watch it. It is based on an old Gaelic myth, and manages not to cheese it up one bit. As far as horror movies go, I seriously have yet found a movie that made my heart thump as well as kept my mind going like this one. It's one of those movies like say...Donnie Darko.,.. where the more you watch it, the more you figure out, and the more you realize how genius the writer(s) were. If you like genuinely genius thriller/horror movies with beautiful cinematography and amazing acting, please watch this. Sean Bean and Maria Bello tore it UP! If you enjoy movies like The Fall, Donnia Darko, What Dreams May Come, Pan's Labyrinth, The Orphanage, Sixth Sense, The Others... Then this movie is one you'll want to pick up. It may change your life. =)

Morbius Fitzgerald Yes I give this film 8 but no I do not think that this is anywhere near John Fawcett's other films. The Boys Club and Ginger Snaps are films of which I have seen multiple times and they are both 10/10 films, no questions asked. This is not even close despite it still being a fantastic ghost story.I read the review of Simon Maginn, the author of "Sheep" this movie was based on. He says that it is not accurate towards the book and that is the only attack point he had. He should've known that he was giving the rights to his book to a man that destroys source material and basically does his own thing - Paul WS Anderson. I think it was his "creative involvement" that brought the movie down. If the novel was as 'good' as he says it is John Fawcett would've asked him to do the screenplay. If Anderson stuck to making Resident Evil instead I think this would've been a much better film.If I was to describe this film then I would call it a cross between John Ajvide Lindqvist's book Harbour and the Spanish horror film - The Orphanage. I like the end result of that combo.I will also say that a few things out of this film disturbed me. For example the people basically leaping to their death and they looked like they were willing to jump off this huge cliff. Another thing is that a child gets tortured.The scares in this film were atmospheric but unfortunately the SFX guy added in bumps, doors creaking etc. He did every cliché in the book. Otherwise I actually enjoyed this film. Name any other aspect - cinematography, acting, plot - and I will praise it.I will say that overall this was actually a highly entertaining horror film but as a whole it could've been better. Especially when Fawcett has made 2 other films that made my top 5 films of all time.

gilbert-kelly007 The Dark.I'm not usually a fan of this type of movie, preferring romantic comedies and character-based movies, but it really is a faultless piece. The cinematography and art direction are subtle but remarkably beautiful, with alchemical hues and some noir-ish moments reminiscent of Nostalgia. There are moments of homage – Don't Look Now, for example, with the child in red. Scare-mares I can usually forgo but this film takes the viewer on a loop-within-loop journey that is intriguing and whirls, dervishly with the mind. The cast are sterling stuff, too. A big shout to Christian Sebaldt, the cinematographer, to John Fawcett the director and to Stephen Massicotte and Simon Maginn the two screenwriters. Scary daughters……….or in this case scary ghost-daughters of rugged-coastline sheepfarmers, are another familiar element, but there is nothing predictable about this state-of-the-art thriller/horror/shocker. Maybe I'm coming around to becoming a fan of this genre………..gonna put some cocoa on now and listen to a friendly album.

Mike Hollis Spoiler: Fantasy sequel:The movie leaves lots open at the end. I guess after the movie finishes, the ghost father will end up helping the mother find her daughter, get her back to our reality from the dead world and then subsequently swap the possessed girl with her actual daughter and a happy ending for all at the end of the sequel. If there ever was going to be a sequel which there won't be.Sean Bean was good. I don't blame ghost girl for wanting him to be my dad. And mother was an idiot. I don't blame ghost girl for leaving her where she ended up either.The movie tries, but doesn't deliver.
