Watch Bethany For Free

So much average

best movie i've ever seen.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I've seen interviews with the writer/director and my hat is ff to him. He seems like very mature and passionate filmmaker who appreciates constructive criticism brought to his work. My respect to you sir!I thought the camera work and lighting had some nice touches, creative and moody. The film didn't get sucked into the ocean of other films with jump scares every 2 minutes. This film went the creative route, though the "child living in the walls" thing and whispering off screen is a tad cliche. This film needlessly bogs itself down in complexity, where I honestly didn't know what the threat was. The film was busy spinning many plates; the memories of her abusive mother, this bethany person who haunts her, the strange visions she keeps having, her self inflicted paranoid injuries. I kept saying to the screen in front of me "make up your mind, film. Choose one!" Its trying to go in too many directions, it ended up that none of them provided a scare factor, I was just confused the whole time rather than frightened....BUT, having said that, by the end of the 3rd act I had all the necessary information that should of been setup in the first act, built in the second and payed off in the 3rd. In the film the payoff is the setup, thus all the confusion.For me the film kicked into gear about an hour or so into the film, when her husband believes his wife and the presence of Bethany. Though this script needed obvious work, I'm aware from interviews with the director that he is given insane deadlines to write a feature film before principle photography begins, so this could be the case here. The plot points in the third act where we learn what happened to her twin sister, how she was tortured and abandoned....thats the setup to the film aka the first act, what is this doing in the 3rd act?? Its not some big reveal, as I mentioned its essential context that could be used to set the stakes and provide some depth to the character and organic motivation for her moving home again, because there really isn't one here.And a final question, Tom Green playing a psychiatrist?:)....really?

Claire (Anna Harr/Stefanie Estes) has an imaginary friend who lives in the wall. Her mother (Shannen Doherty) is obsessed with beauty and constantly enters Claire into pageants that Mom makes sure she wins. She inherits the home and moves in with her husband Aaron (Zack Ward). Claire starts to imagine things as it appears her once friend Bethany is now attempting to harm her. Claire appears to us as being crazy.The explanation starts at about 70 minutes into the film. We were given horrible clues. The sound track was not good and Stefanie Estes turned a mediocre performance into something camp with her final cry scene. The film could have been a lot better with a sensible clue, soundtrack, and lead character.Guide: F-word. Brief underwater nudity.

"Bethany" was one of those slow burns. It was like a fine pot-roast that's was marinated for days then placed into a crock-pot and cooked on low for thirteen hours. Well worth the payoff. This is by far the best film I have seen from James Cullen Bressack. Bressack and Zack Ward did an amazing job with the buildup in this hauntingly tragic tale. Stefanie Estes as Claire was simply amazing and Anna Harr just broke my heart in her performance. I was not expecting the film to tug on my heart strings the way it did. Totally unexpected. Totally awesome. I cannot express enough how this movie is a must-see for any true horror fan. I have watched my share of horror movies and I am telling you, this is the real deal. Solid four out of five stars. I can't wait for the next project from these guys!

Really enjoyed James Cullen Bressack latest movie, Bethany. Loved the performances by the whole cast and nice to see a new side of tom green. Shot well with a good score and creepy story. Warning you may be scared if you watch alone....Definitely recommend checking this one out so grab your popcorn sit back and enjoy.
