Watch Ogre For Free

Touches You

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

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

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I hate to say it but John Schneider doesn't do a villain very well. The acting was personable enough that you cared when most of the characters, that you got to know, died. The plot is: John Schneider is essentially a wizard in a small town in the woods of Pennsylvania in 1859. A practitioner of the black arts but has the appearance of not really a bad guy despite this, he decides that the Mayor needs to go and magically inflicts him with a plague. Unfortunately, the plague spreads at an alarming rate and, once the Wizard's daughter is infected, he creates an even worse spell that takes away the plague but summons a monster (The Ogre) That requires a sacrifice every year or it will destroy the whole town. The spell keeps the townies from having kids or aging. Fast forward to present day when one of four young adults gets a map to a mysterious town. He grabs his pals to go camping and to find the lost town of Ellensford...and hilarity ensues (Well...not so much). What I love about this movie is that it relates a message that is conveyed through feeling it. It illustrates the point in the storytelling. True to good story telling, they don't say it...they illustrate it. There are few horror movies that can do this well and this makes the movie superior to the simple hack and slash genre. Another example of this (superior) would be 'The Fly' (1958). They could have made a better movie if they stepped in with both feet. This one required a little bit extra (and a few less voice acting Extras). My usual complaint with the technical. IE. People firing a muzzle loading musket and faking massive recoil...while one of the protagonists can fire a 12 Gauge shotgun one handed and there is none. No money in the budget for a phone call to the Bass Pro shop?The grand message is: 'Living in fear is no life at all'.The movie wasn't all that it could have been but it kept me engaged when I'm often very easily bored of TV. It's a refreshing change to have a movie stir up some emotions while getting a larger point across. Not bad.

Small town of Ellensford, Pennsylvania is suffering from a plague in 1859. Barlett Henry (John Schneider) is made the magistrate and his daughter Hope (Chelan Simmons) starts to suffer from the plague. He performs a spell to create an ogre from all the evil that has befallen the town which must be fed each year. In present time, four friends go searching for the town lost in time. Terry (Kyle Labine) is injured. Jessica (Katharine Isabelle) and Mike (Ryan Kennedy) go looking for help and find the town.It's a TV movie for then Sci-Fi Channel and the special effects look TV cheesetastic. This is kind of like 'The Village' in look and story except there is a real ogre. At least, it's as real as a cheap computer can make it. There is some good cheese value to this and it generally works as a story. I do like most of the actors and they do a serious job. The ogre looks so ridiculous that the last half of the movie grinds down. The action looks horrible. It's bad and funny at the same time.

I didn't really know what to expect from this film before watching it. I could never have predicted what was in store for me. This movie was wonderful and extremely entertaining. The plot is pretty much perfect, although somewhat complicated. The majority of the cast did a great performance especially John Schneider and Chelan Simons. Very well thought out dialog and delivered spectacularly. The only reason that I'm not giving this movie a 10/10 is because the CGI is not good, but the setting made the CGI just a little bit better. The great plot and acting made basically covered up that flaw, though. The ending to this movie had to be the best thing about it. It's so beautiful and might be a tear-jerker for some soft-hearted viewers. This is one upperclass B-movie to remember.

This was an attempt at an M N Shayalaman type film and it just doesn't work for me. The acting was poor in most cases and the special effects were really not special. I've seen more convincing ogres given away with breakfast cereal! Someone commented that the fact you saw the Ogre almost straight away in the film, and continuously throughout was refreshing... well, I think the film would have been better if we hadn't seen the thing at all and kept some mystique around the creature. The story was as week as the rest of the film. Given a new script, mainly new cast, new director, new effects department, this film could have been decent... as it is, it's rubbish.
