Mediocre yet successful in its own right
This really wasn’t all that bad. Definitely felt amateurish and quite indi at times but definitely also had some successful moments for what it was. Felt more like a teenage intro to horror/creature feature.The acting was quite mediocre and stilted at times but everyone had decent moments and did a fine job. The monster was a tad costumey looking but hey, we are working on an indi budget here, so not awful. The dialogue could have used some refining and the plot some beefing up to increase originality and intrigue.
Regardless of that, overall I was decently entertained. Don’t go into this expecting a mature, wildly scary horror blockbuster. If you can appreciate it for what it is I would recommend.
intriguing idea needs more work
Janey Andrews lost her family in a crash. She’s alone in the world. A judge sends her to a meditation retreat for assault despite her plea of self-defense. The all-female retreat is in the middle of the woods run a doctor and his two sons. The women are forbidden to speak or even make eye contact. Janey tries to escape but she’s captured by one of the sons although he seems to be afraid of something in the woods.It’s a watchable Canadian indie horror. It starts off with a creepy notion of these women being controlled by this weird doctor. It could have gone down many different paths. It tries to do something with sound. At least, it’s unusual. It does need to decide whether the creature is attracted by sound or is hurt by it. It may make more sense for everybody to be quiet including the men. It may be even better if the doctor’s introduction is done in a sound-proof room. The sound idea has issues that needs to be addressed. As for the creature itself, it is not the best although I’m sure the low budget restricted the movie. The main problem is the way the creature moves and the way it is filmed. It isn’t scary. The blood looks too red especially in the dark. This horror has an intriguing premise and it needs more work to hash it out.
