The Worst Film Ever
Fresh and Exciting
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I'm not sure what other reviewers are watching, or what they're hopped up on, but this was really a great Psychological Horror film that breaks out of the norm except for "the couple buys and old house" trope. Rae Olivier is one of the most amazing actors I have had the pleasure of watching. Her facial expressions are so demonstrative, and even when she plays angry she is still cute as a button. I could have done without the few CGI effects the director used for dream sequences, but they don't ruin the film by any stretch. This kind of film is really the future of the Horror genre, and I know because not only do I watch most Horror films--or at least the ones that pass the 5 minute test--I write Horror. I'll admit that this one really had me guessing right up to the end, and the acting--even by support characters such as the real estate agent and the sheriff's deputy--was well done. I could have done without the fellatio scene under the covers, but now that I know how the movie ends, that one scene provides some serious creepiness to the whole storyline.
What can I say about this film? Everything about it was terrible, from the wretched overacting to the senseless plot. The main character, Maggie, goes from scene to scene doing and saying things that have absolutely nothing to do with anything that's happened in the movie. The ending answers nothing, so if you are like me and need to finish what you started just to see what happens...just don't.What's the significance of the phone?? I've never seen a couple go from hot to cold so fast and repeatedly. Why is the spare room locked? The musical score seems to be off, why the dramatic crescendo for nothing? If you're going to a certain place just to make a phone call, how do you forget your phone? Baptism, really??I could go on, but I'm exhausted from all the eye rolling.
I didn't understand this storyline at all! What was the point in the film? Or what was the moral of the story? It was also terrible acting and wouldn't class it as a thriller or a horror. It's definitely a low budget film with no real story to it. The girl that plays Maggie is annoyingly awful. Also that they absolutely adore one another one minute then hate each other the next is strange. It's not realistic at all and didn't really make me want to jump up to find out what happens next. I don't think I'll be recommending the film anytime soon. It's just confusing. My boyfriend fell asleep 20 minute after starting as he was bored and normally he never fails to stay awake during a film. It's a waste of time money and energy. Sorry.
So, first off, the husband in the movie is German but this is another in a series of bad "horror/suspense" movies where they have foreign actors trying to fake American accents. Why? It's not believable...Throughout the movie you'll hear his accent slip. Why not just let his character be a German? Unless I'm just totally mistaken and that's really how the actor speaks in English...They (the characters) are also pretty unlikable. The husband is particularly unsympathetic and cruel to his wife, and that was just the first night in the house.She's no princess either... whiny, mopey, pretty much annoying. Why is she always freaking out about basically nothing?The ringing phone... why wouldn't they assume that maybe they have a cell phone with a ringtone that sounds like that? Geez... c'mon people. Instead she freaks out about it, the husband is a jerk about it, and it just becomes a bigger thing than it should have been. Sure, they don't get a signal at their house, but maybe their carrier sucks. :)I just didn't like it... slow moving, stupid characters... yeah, not a good time.It got 3 stars from me because at least, unlike some REALLY bad movies, the camera work wasn't too bad. I hated how they ALWAYS showed reactions to something going on, but never showing the thing that was going on. I mean, yeah... it can be suspenseful if done right, showing what the character is doing, but they really overplayed it.I mean, they did that when they show up to the house... they show the two of them in the truck in awestruck wonder at the house, and almost purposefully didn't show the house until later on, almost in passing. That was a weird choice, I thought... but then it kept happening. It kind of felt like I was staring at someone's face the whole movie and watching them react to noises and things I couldn't see. Yawn...
