Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Wonderful Movie
Fantastic!
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Finders Keepers (2014) review. Had to write this, so nobody will loose their time watching it. . That movie is an explosion of clichés. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Who makes these low quality "movies" so yeah, i feel better now
This movie is a ridiculous unrealistic piece of SH!T that seems to try to be scary. The parents are incredibly stupid. Cat lady should've issued a police report. Wish the director had enough of a brain to give better reactions while filming. Kylie Rogers was okay but I wish her character was more realistic. The director should take some advice from James Wan or Stephen King. The best horror movie directors i've ever seen. Movie wasn't scary isn't worth the watch and is simply but, a piece of SH!T . I bet keeping up with the kardashians is better than this trash. No offense to the director but try making the characters more realistic, better reactions, and better police. If its set in the modern world, than have it be set IN THE MODERN FUKING WORLD
My hopes were not too high before watching this but I was surprised that it is actually pretty good. It's a familiar tale, family move into a house with a horrible history and bad things happen. We have seen it all a hundred times but thanks to a good cast and some nice directing this still manages to satisfy. There were a number of well handled tension filled scenes that prove that horror isn't and shouldn't be all about the gore. Although it's fairly predictable I still felt pretty tense at times watching it. The cast all did a good job but a special mention must go to the little girl who plays the young daughter Claire ( Kylie Rogers) who is genuinely chilling as the possessed girl. For a small budget horror film this is a good film and is certainly on a par with many of it's higher budgeted rivals.
For SyFy, Finders Keepers is not so bad and is a long way from their worst. As a movie in general though, it does have some good things and looks like some effort went into it but it doesn't quite come together. Starting with the positives, the movie actually looks good(and for a SyFy movie that is quite a compliment), with some very effective lighting, crisp editing and unobtrusive camera work. The music does create some atmosphere, not an exceptional one by all means but it fits the movie and doesn't try to be too obvious, the doll is very creepy-looking and there are some scary moments. A few performances come over quite well, the best of the lot coming from Kylie Rogers who is both adorable and terrifying, while Jaime Pressley is a sympathetic and somewhat touching mother figure. Most of the acting is not particularly strong, consisting of a lot of under-acting with Patrick Muldoon phoning it in, and Tobin Bell is wasted.Finders Keepers as said has some moments that are scary and suspenseful, they only came in spades rather than the movie being continually creepy. Most of the movie was lacking in scares and atmosphere for me, it was more predictable than suspenseful, the gore and scare factor were too toned down a lot of the time and a lot of moments that should have been scary came across as silly instead. The characters are almost impossible to root for and connect with, they are very underdeveloped and you get frustrated with how stupid some of their actions are as a consequence perhaps of focusing too much on the relationship between Rogers and Pressley's characters and side-lining everybody else which was a large part of why most of the acting did not register.The direction is technically competent but when it comes to maintaining momentum, atmosphere and making the characters and chemistry interesting it fails, and the dialogue is often horrid, the worst of which enough to make one cringe. The story had bags of potential and effort clearly was made to it with a very original idea, but it was a case of trying to do too much and not explaining enough, making it feel muddled and underwritten. Some of the plot twists border on idiotic, as seen in the senseless ending, and the story feels too padded out in places. And I wish they did more with the doll, it is a very creepily-designed character but there is a real sense that the writers weren't sure what it was, offering at least four different explanations as to what it really was but it was never made clear which one it actually was. Overall, for SyFy Finders Keepers was watchable but was in personal opinion was very lacking. It is not as though there isn't any talent on display here because there is, it is such a shame that that just didn't come across here. 4/10 Bethany Cox
