Watch Reeseville For Free

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Reeseville is a mystery thriller that starts very well but ends very bad; I mean while the beginning is somewhat astonishing, showing us a flashback scene very well shot, in a great kind of cinematography, of something that happened in the past, the end is quite predictable and, I would say, disappointing! Like other IMDb user said I also think that this film "spoils it self" near the end. It's a good movie in suspense and mystery subject, but when all the mystery is revealed it totally falls into a cheap drama with a predictable and disappointing ending… On the other hand, I also think that a great part of this suspense is created by the soundtrack. The tracks are nice, based on deep string sounds, but I must say that I don't remember a movie so needed of a chilling soundtrack to create some suspense and mystery to the viewer! I mean if we could watch the very same scenes without the soundtrack I bet that no one of us would be tense with those scenes! They aren't frightening by themselves, by the images, but just because of the sounds! Anyway, the movie is not bad, but at the beginning I expected a lot more

I mean, come on! This movie had such nice potential but it's like they ran out of money to finish the script and just telegraphed the whole damn rest of the movie about 2/3rds of the way through. Characters start spouting this movies whole reason for existence to other characters who didn't ask for the information on extremely flimsy premises. They also fall into some stereotypical behavior because that must be what's expected in this genre of movie. It's really pretty sad because this movie could have been so much more.I was really hoping this would be a good movie. There was some good acting. Mark Hamill does an excellent job until the movie falls apart, so does Sally Struthers. It was fun to see them working and succeeding at their craft. Majandra Delfino was pretty good for awhile until her lines just became untenable. I felt sad for her that she had to say these lines that just shot the whole movies credibility for any thinking movie goers. Brad Hunt does an excellent job. He really has a surprising range of talent judging from another of his movies I recently saw, Lucky 13. (which was a piece of crap). This guy could be a star if he could pick the right scripts and get lucky with the right director.Almost forgot! The music was so heavy handed you might think this project was handed to some minor film school to be scored. I call this kind of music "Teller Music" because you can just tell what's coming next based on the music. Less is more sometimes.Cut half of the music from this movie, get a good film editor, a small rewrite or two and this would be a very good movie.

The most interesting aspects of this film is the pacing and small town feel to it. The passage of time can be tedious but to me that is what the film maker was trying to pass along to the viewer. Similar to a frog in a pot of water. When the temperature is turned up slowly will characters and audience pay heed? There are some flaws to the film. It makes a real point to this being a small town as the locale but aside for a few major characters you don't really get a feel for that town and how the characters fit and are perceived in this town. Mark Hamill works brillantly in this piece in a role I never would have thought him for. Also well cast were Majandra Delfino. Many of the elements of this story were well telegraphed to the audience when I think the writer should have give the audience a little credit. A capable work but it left me wanting.

"Reeseville" is at times excrutiatingly slow, but on the whole a suspenseful microscopic mystery-suspense kind of story. Despite the slow beginning and pacing, by the end I was on the edge of my seat shivering at the creepy and climatic ending. Hence I found the film to be clever and very twisty. It rates highly in my "must see" book!
