Watch The Nesting For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

When i was a little girl, my sister had rented this as a New Release. he and her friends had gotten so spooked, they decided to spend the night upstairs in my room rather than going downstairs to hers. For lack of something better to do, I had watched it with them. There are some truly surprising moments and o totally enjoyed it. Watched it a few times over the next few years. Haven't been able to find in anywhere, same with "Popcorn" but am going to keep looking.

"The Nesting" follows Lauren Cochran, a New York City novelist who begins suffering from crippling agoraphobia. She decides to eliminate the problem by relocating to a remote, rundown mansion upstate for solitude and an opportunity to work on a book; things don't quite go as planned though when it's discovered that the house was a former brothel where multiple prostitutes disappeared fifty years prior.I had never heard of this film and came across a review of it online; I was surprised how under the radar the film is, particularly that in my decades-long existence as a horror fan, I'd never crossed paths with it. It is a strange film—in some ways, it's very sophisticated and thematically interesting, and yet at times it is also terribly awkward, poorly scripted, and borderline tedious. So, what's the attraction here? "The Nesting," in spite of some fundamental problems, establishes an atmospheric glaze over itself that is absolutely flummoxing. The cinematography is surprisingly lush for this type of film, and the location and setting helps bolster the utterly strange vibes of the picture. Some of its best moments hands down are the protagonist's encounters with the ghostly prostitutes; the apparitions appear and disappear from the mise-en-scène as if living characters passing through a room, and their presentation in this way is startling and strangely terrifying. The fact that the majority of the horror scenes here occur in daylight is also another unusual feature of the picture.As I said before, there are some problems with the film, the first being that it seems to toe the line between haunted house film and full-blown psychological horror; there are even moments where it appears to be taking on tenets of a slasher film. This is not to say that a film can't cross-reference genres, but the script here just doesn't manage to do so gracefully. The film is also at times awkwardly edited, which is where some of its budget limitations seem to visibly crop up, and the chemistry between some of the actors is a bit off key. Robin Groves is decent as the lead, although her character is strangely written to begin with. John Carradine shows up as the plutocratic owner of the home, while Gloria Grahame appears in her final screen role as the madame of the bygone brothel.The film's conclusion is quite frankly baffling, and I was surprised to see it end as it did, as the film leads the viewer to believe they will be treated with some sort of conceivable resolution. "The Nesting" ardently resists this, and leaves the viewer with an uncomfortable ambiguity that is atypical of this kind of picture. All in all, I found this film strangely fixating and visually eerie in spite of its hodgepodge script and uneven performances. In the greater scheme, it is a marginal entry in the genre, though I must admit there is something confounding and creepy about it on a base level. Worth a look. 6/10.

Well i've seen this movie a couple times and I have a copy of it on DVD that I transfered from VHS last time I rented it. This is one of those classic horror movies from back in the day when horror movies actually did make you jump, and they made sense! LOL The plot took me for a spin and it was a little confusing at times, but i've figured it out after the second time seeing it.I with they made movies like this still that had odd story lines to make you think, and that didn't always rely on today's technology to make it all about the special fx.This movie was cool though, definitely worth the watch!

Lauren Cochran (Robin Groves) is a writer who lives in New York City and lately has been suffering from anxiety attacks, which her Doctor, Webb (Patrick Farrelly) put down to a condition called agoraphobia, which is a fear of leaving the house. Lauren decides to escape Manhattan and head to a small town called Dover Falls to finish her current novel. Her friend Mark Felton (Christopher Loomis) drives her to Dover Falls. They stop by the side of the road, take a break and stretch their legs. Lauren comes across an unusual large octagonal house that she feels she knows. It's exactly the same house she wrote about in one of her previous books entitled 'The Nesting'. And that the cover illustration on the book that she described for the artist to draw is precisely the same as this house she is looking at now, even though she has never been there before. She immediately decides to rent the property. She makes arrangements with the house's owner, a Colonel Lebrun (John Carradine) and his grandson Daniel Griffith (Micheal David Lally) and moves in straight away. That night Lauren has a dream about the house, or was it a hallucination or possibly even ghosts? While visiting, Dr. Webb has an 'accident' and is killed. The local handyman Frank Beasley (Bill Rowley) is mysteriously drowned after trying to attack Lauren. More strange things happen, record players start on their own, words are mysteriously typed onto her work and Lauren continues to see strange people who seem able to just appear and disappear at will. She decides to investigate the house's history, and talks with a local farmer called Abner Welles (David Tabor) who becomes violent towards her when questioned about the house. Lauren becomes more and more unsure if what she has experienced is real, hallucinatory or if indeed there are ghosts inhabiting the house. Co-written and directed by Armand Weston I thought this was a decent enough haunted house horror film. The script by Weston and Daria Price takes quite a long time to establish the situation and is fairly slow going at times. But I have to say it kept me pretty interested and watching right through to the end. One thing that disappointed me was the lacklustre ending, after all the build-up I was hoping for something a little more substantial than what was offered, it just ends up being a bit of a let down and rather pedestrian. Robin Groves was good in the leading role, but I thought Micheal David Lally was awful. There's not much gore in it, just a scythe whacked into someones face, someone is impaled and some gunshot wounds at the end. There's a bit of nudity, but not much. The film looks OK and has a decent atmosphere to it, and the octagonal house is both unusual and cool, I don't think I've ever seen another house like it. If you don't mind a horror film with a slightly slow pace then you could do a lot worse than this, but then I suppose you could probably do a lot better as well. Worth watching, if you can find a cheap copy or catch it on T.V. for free.
