kosmasp Some might argue it being C or D Horror I reckon. But it does have Chucky in it (not the doll itself, but the actor lending the voice to the doll) and Brad Dourif actually takes his role seriously. I was wondering when I saw him, if he would just phone it in or go for it. It's the latter and he doesn't have that much to work with.Still this Horror movie with a lot of fantasy and I guess a bit of folklore if you want to call it that, has some charm to it. It does a couple of things right and they tried framing and editing it and generally making it look like a lot more expensive than it had to spend. So if you have a heart for small budget movies, this may be something for you
Meta Pomeiske Nah! Come on!? Seriously? Bad, this was bad. I mean, I checked the tags and it read: Horror/Mystery/Drama but...Couldn't they headline it: for teenager? I got the feeling it's meant for youngsters, cos the flick was as boring as could be. A feeling as if I was reading a book for age 10 to 16....I felt unchallenged. I needn't watch young people to discover love and sex and what you have...Why on earth aren't there any good horror flicks, anymore? I wish they wouldn't remake classics, but much rather come up with their own ideas. Worthwhile ideas. It's all about a quick buck, so is the result. Terrible. A pain.
The_Dead_See A glance at the DVD cover and blurb of "Last Kind Words" would have anyone believing they were about to watch a sort of generic teen horror movie full of gore and jump scares but that's a long way from the truth. This is a slow-burn coming of age drama and a supernatural love story. It has a haunting, almost hypnotizing southern-Gothic sensibility that's really quite beautiful.Eli, a 17 year old boy, finds himself moving with his abusive father and meek mother to the remote farmstead of family friend Waylon - played by the ever entertaining Brad Dourif - when the father loses his job. Eli ventures into the woods that surround the farm and meets a strange, alluring young girl called Amanda. As he begins to fall for Amanda he gradually uncovers a story of past tragic events on the farmstead and a rather sad haunting in the woods that goes all the way back to the days of the Underground Railroad. The only real downfall of this otherwise beautiful movie is a script that's a little unsure of itself and ends up feeling a tad messy and confusing in parts. The pace might bore some - it really is a slow one - but personally I think it just added to the feels. I enjoyed it a lot and for an indie, it's a very strong piece of work.
MissOceanB I find there are elements in this film which would strike a chord somewhere within with each viewer. The story, the scenery, the actors were all excellent. A few parts reminded me of Elvis & Annabelle, but aside from that, the films are very different. It is quite a daunting task to review this film without giving away too much (which is why I recommend viewing it!). Imagery and symbolism are well used which made the film that much more interesting and beautiful. Yes, there are some moments that may cause some to shudder or "jump", but they are few and far between. The film does well in exploring life and death and even modern history. There is a great melodic/ballad song that plays at times which also really made the film. Worth watching!
