Michael Ledo This is basically a one man play. It is filled with narration of Rosalind talking to her son from beyond the grave. She was involved in an angel cult. Her husband was the victim of an apparent suicide, after which their nine year old son Leon (Aaron Poole) became an atheist. Rosalind did everything in her power to convince him to have faith, but her games only drove Leon away.After her death, Leon inherits her home, one he has never visited. It contains bad electrical wiring, a locked door, and eerie shadows. Things happen to Leon while he is in the house which he cannot explain.The film was mildly interesting. The constant narration, a major part of the story, grew weary. Leon, our only actor, has no character build up. He apparently is some sort of artifacts dealer who had a falling out with a girlfriend psychologist. But other than being an atheist, or "sinner of the mind" we know little about him. He takes medication, as did his mother, but we don't know if that is a factor in what he sees, or what she saw.I kept waiting for the over the top ending to bring this thing home, but don't expect one. Okay rental to watch in the dark during a storm with the tweens.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
homecoming8 There's nothing wrong with a story that starts out slowly with nothing happening yet. But half an hour into the movie you get the feeling that it isn't getting better at all and you're right: we our stuck with one actor in one specific location for the entire duration of this so called "ghost story". That kind of stretches it because it's slow and boring as hell without any thrills or scares. The credits show Vanessa Redgrave as second name but we only hear her voice. Another female character is only heard during phone conversations and when our main character (unknown actor, not bad but not great either and certainly not worth watching every minute) opens the door for a neighbor, (Yes ! Finally another cast member !!) we do not even get to see him. The special effects are kind of limited: we have a Holy Maria statue that opens her eyes and a very poorly executed CGI black wolf that's not scary or convincing and has no purpose at all. Watching this wretched tale end is even more disappointing, because there's no real ending. No thrills, no surprises, no closure, it just kind of stops. And when the credits finally role, you can't help wondering why cheap crap like this is still made. Who's the target audience ? I'm sure the creators weren't aware either, they were just cashing in on the hype of supernatural ghost/horror movies.
digitalcrow-109-923255 ....the movie is not the typical thriller its more like seeing a story , very slow development .It has great scenery great pictures and as a movie is very good but maybe not so much as a typical horror movie like those you know. It covers its message under allegory and random events but this movie knows how to pass its message and the young ones should see it . I can't tell what the message is because it would be considered as a spoiler. If you want to find something bad about this movie this could be that is slow and maybe that its not very terrifying (some people may find it not terrifying at all ) but its more like a psychological thriller or to be more accurate like reading a book .This movie is a must see, and you should see it (in 1080p of course).
Eduardo Almazan I don't know what other users expected or wanted to see...But I actually liked this one.Gudiño's first shot at not shorts. He quite nailed it! Gudiño takes us into the very self of his characters; we get to know them, to feel what they felt. Guy enters mother's home in hopes of selling, because she has passed away; guy starts to feel, hear, see things...It looks like the very same formula, but, Gudiño takes it one step up, if not a couple more.Innovation finally arrives in this genre. A great start to build a pretty good future for Gudiño.
