SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

goldfinch12416 I caught this film last week at the WMIFF International film festival in Washington, DC. And I can say that I was expecting your run of the mill slasher flick. You know, lots of blood, guts, screaming half naked girls and some big guy running around trying to hack his way through each and everyone of them. What I got was a film that asked you (the viewer) to do something we don't are often expected to when we go to the movies...THINK and follow an actual story with a plot and characters that develop in time. WOW what a concept, a film that actually asks you to think and follow a story. It was like enjoying a well cooked meal. Don't get me wrong I like fast food (half-naked girls running about) as much as the next guy. But I also love a really satisfying meal. You know something that leaves you feeling well nourished and pleasantly full. Not stuffed but full and very satisfied.Michael Merino (The Director-Writer-Producer) and his crew did an excellent job with this film. The score (by Patrick Morganelli) is so haunting and beautiful I wanted the soundtrack for my home. The D/P (Tom Benca) painted the screen with such beautiful shots I forgot is was what they consider a "Lower budget" movie. And the location, well the location was amazing, what a find there!The acting was top of the charts awesome. Ken Arnold who plays Steven (the lead male) is as solid as any actor in Hollywood. He has a great leading man authority to him. Regen Wilson kills as Michael. You just can't take your eyes off of him. Tracy Teague and Julie Price are so beautiful and equally strong as the wives of Arnold and Wilson. Joe Estevez (Charlie Sheens Uncle...really!) was just great, I wish he had been in every scene, he's just an awesome actor and every time he came on the screen I smiled knowing something bad was about to happen. Scream Queen Suzi Lorraine is as sexy and mean as ever. She was the main reason I went to the screening, I'v e been a fan for years. Another actor Mick McGuire who plays the County Inspector was so bizarre and weird that I actually sought out one of the Producers after the screening to ask point blank if he was "touched" and I was told he's one of the brightest guys you'll ever meet. HE, was out there, and in a really great way. Finally the girl in the bath played by Nadia Williams was just sultry and taunting. I highly suggest you get a copy of this film, its a great rainy night, sit on the couch with your G/F...eat some pop corn and enjoy kind of date. It's not to bloody (hardly) the language is fairly clean, nobody is being tortured or abused and the nude factor is minimal and it makes sense when it happens.I was going to rate the movie 8 out of 10, but since I was soooo surprised by the film and saw it's budget was a mere 500K. Well, HOLLYWIERD better take notice, because these guys are coming for you. So 2 extra stars, what the heck. BUY THIS MOVIE, its awesome. Its on sale at AMAZON.

Masterofdisaster0778 I saw this movie the other night at a private screening in Washington, DC... (Great theater by the way) and I have to say I was soooo impressed by this film.The acting was tight, the story weaved like an old yarn should, the direction was really well done and the camera work was beautiful. I just loved my film going experience. I wish more movies were like this one. Smart, creepy, funny and bizarre.Mick McGuire as Jim Shoemaker was so creepy, but Joe Estevez really freaked me out. Martin Sheen, is Joe's older brother, and you can see the acting genes flow in that family like water in a stream...Joe was the best. Suzi Lorraine the B-movie Scream Queen played The Founder. She was off putting and really evil. Nadia Williams plays Suzi's sister "The Head Nurse" and those two ladies should have a movie on their own. My God, Creepers, Creepers Everywhere!!The Director Michael Merino said the film will be in wide release on VOD, I-Tunes, Amazon and Cable by May 2012...I highly suggest you watch this movie, its not to violent with little too no gore. And just enough nudity to satisfy the real creepers of this world.Well Done MCMFILMS.

carmer12416 The Haunting of Pearson Place is a film for the intelligent and fun loving film buff...this film reminds me of The Shining and The Others but with a bit more humor. A great movie with a wonderful cast. The Direction and camera work are just spot on. Joe Estevez shines as Bob. His creepy and askew character just makes you want to wash up. Ken Arnold was a solid anchor that kept the audience wondering what might happen next. Suzi Lorraine, although a bit under used (To be fair I'm a big Suzi Lorraine fan and she should be in every frame) is wild as the haunting Founder. Nadia Williams plays Suzi's sister (The Head Nurse) and she's wrenching yet beautiful. Mick McGuire is awesome as Jim, Tracy Teague is lovely, and so believable as the nagging wife. Kelley Slagle crept me out, her voice and inflections were just spine tingling. And last but far form least the out of this world Regen Wilson steals the show. This is a Hollywood film, on a diet budget. Michael Merino is someone to be watched. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. I highly recommend this film if you enjoy Super-natural, Horror films...not long on gore, but long on smarts.

markdel316 This was a very well thought out and original film, first one must understand that this is a Psychological Thriller like THE SHINING. The Divine Comedy is used as this films basis as to one is a prisoner in purgatory or the different levels of hell for their earthly vices consisting of the seven deadly sins. Therefore in Lehman's terms if you indulged in lustful deeds during your life, you will be surrounded by unwanted lust for all eternity. This is a movie that gets better the more times you watch it, every time you pick up something new, a clue of shorts to tell the story of Pearson Place. Whether its a journal, a photo, or a set of keys, foreshadowing is inserted to the mind of the viewer. Furthermore when a new clue is discovered in a follow up viewing you're saying to yourself, "isn't that smart, alright I get it." What I liked mostly about this film is the "ghosts" are in human form, unlike other thrillers where the ghosts are mutilated, don't speak, glow a specific color and float. The ghosts in this film are physically attractive and walk around like they're amongst the living. Very good movie to turn out the lights, make a big bowl of popcorn and get out the trusted security blanket, you may need to cover up for certain parts.
