Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
onefreakinword This movie tried, it really did. However, the uphill battle against a mediocre rehash of every ghost movie ever made, coupled with wooden acting by most of the cast, doomed this movie from the start. I swear, my palm positively ITCHED to slap the face of the teen main character, just to see if she had any other expressions and vocal intonations. She seemed as if she was either really stupid or drugged beyond the ability to express an emotion. Same with the goofy boyfriend, who, by the way, would never get a second look from a teenage girl, especially with those ugly glasses. And WHY didn't the teen girl ever move her arms when she walked? She reminded me of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine gets her butt kicked by Raquel Welch. The ending was beyond lame. I wondered briefly how this kid was going to explain her aunt and uncle's dead bodies in a pit in the basement, but just briefly. I wasn't interested enough to wonder for any longer than that. Overall, this movie was more aggravating than entertaining. Do yourself a favor and give it a pass.
Derek Childs (totalovrdose) Don't be fooled by the cover. If seeing translucent ghosts with black eye shadow opening up their mouths in a silent scream, and hearing the creaking of doors opening by themselves sends shivers racing across your skin, then A Haunting at Silver Falls will be a terrifying experience. If not, and you are after something more frightening, you might be better off watching A Haunted Mansion with Eddie Murphy, which proved to be a lot more atmospheric.This is not to say the film is terrible by any standard, it just isn't the kind of feature that anyone could ever mistake for a horror film, despite the distributor's attempts to pitch it as one. Instead, it is more of an adolescent romance, shrouded by supernatural occurrences, which appears to have qualities reminiscent of the movie Twilight (minus the vampires).The film has its beneficial qualities that help grasp the audience's attention. Jordan, a teenager, who has recently moved to a new town to live with her aunt and her husband, the only familial members she has left, finds herself inexplicably slipping a ring onto her finger that she finds in the woods one night after attending a party. By doing so, Jordan inadvertently invites the ghost of a woman about her age into her life, who, was horrifically murdered, along with her twin. In order to satisfy the spirit's thirst for justice, Jordan is inevitably spurred into uncovering the identity of the killer.Over the course of the film, the depth of character development is well orchestrated, which in turn helps conceive likable characters, and the occasionally funny, witty dialogue establishes a sense of comical relief. This aside, there were instances that were not believable, and other aspects of the film that could have been better developed.The film opens with a young woman, running frantically through the woods, pretending to trip over as she attempts to hide from an unseen attacker; an introduction any horror film fanatic would have seen better executed at least half a dozen times before. Despite this, the opening does manage to build some measure of tension, although it is not effectively executed throughout the majority of the feature. The ghosts we witness in A Haunting at Silver Falls seem too sympathetic and compassionate to be feared. Moreover, Jordan exhibits little terror when confronted by a specter, and because of this, how are we supposed to fear the female equivalent of Casper? However, this criticism aside, these strategies allow the viewers to appreciate the ghosts as people, with human motivations.Furthermore, the relationship between Jordan and her paramour, Larry, was not a believable sub-plot. On one hand we have Jordan - an utterly gorgeous young woman who could cause the heart of an iceberg to melt, while on the other we have Larry, a Napoleon Dynamite look-a-like, with issues regarding his confidence. No matter how much geeks such as myself would wish for that to be real, women with the above mentioned qualities, rarely, if ever, affiliate romantically with nerds.On top of this, although the lead antagonist of the plot was not formidable or threatening enough to be taken seriously, this was overshadowed by the predictability. Despite the feature providing the audience with several characters who exhibited suspicious qualities, before the end, it was too obvious who the villain truly was.A Haunting at Silver Falls is not necessarily a movie you ought to avoid, but it isn't a film that will thoroughly entertain you either, and by the end, your thirst for a horror film will certainly not be quenched. With a plot deserving of more twists and turns, and an atmosphere in need of a far darker ambiance, this is probably a film you will want to rent, rather than purchase.
mohamed saad Shame on you the director for this FAKE movie. I was not able to believe how was bad this movie??? Its was joking with our minds. The horror movies to be good at my opinion as a watch man or interested person should be directed perfectly and also to bring an actor who is able to show the reaction on his face and his/her movement like our actress. Do you want to be good? you must respect the people opinion as its your guide line. Second thing.. The story was terrible... and the way we see the ghost or the dead person is worst than classic horror. (I like to watch classic than this one)Its cover was attracting me so I told myself lets see....... I not recommend this movie because this is wasting time. The Points I give this movie are: Music 5/25 -- Visual Effect 2/25 -- Story 1/25 and ZERO for entertaining so the total points 8/100 (VERY BAD)
suite92 Jordan's father died, so she comes to live with her aunt Anne, her deceased mother's twin sister, and her uncle Kevin. She goes on a date with Larry Parrish; Larry ends up being arrested for drug possession, and Jordan gets a ride home from Robbie. Larry is in line to be the school valedictorian, and Dr Parrish (Larry's father, a psychologist) is not amused.Jordan starts getting nocturnal visitors; one leaves candy wrappers, the other tries to pull off the ring she found in the woods while fleeing the cops after the 'date.'Larry tries to help Jordan get the ring off. It seems to work, but then the ring gets back on, somehow. Jordan's new parents bring up the things (an Hermes scarf, money from Kevin's wallet) found in her underwear drawer. The lock her in the bathroom using pennies while they have a night out by themselves. Then the ghosts try to drown her. Good planning there. She's soaking wet but the bathroom is not. Hm. They give her some haloperidol, an anti-psychotic. Oh, great. She sees the one ghost in daylight now.Her first visit with Dr. Parrish on a professional level does not go well. She sees the ghost in his office, cannot take her eyes off of it, and cannot tell hi about it. The doctor knows she is lying and concealing. Sigh. At school, Larry and Robbie are competing over her. Larry and Jordan ditch school and follow Jordan's ghost. Larry calls her parents and the Sheriff, who then stage an intervention.Jordan gets to meet Mr. Dahl, the father and the condemned killer of the twins, Heather and Holly Dahl. These are the ghosts Jordan has been seeing. Mr. Dahl gives her another ring, the second third of what used to be one ring. After she gets home, Jordan puts it on as well. She has quite the dream after that, featuring both twins. They warn her that she is next.Jordan finds the third part of the ring, and information that she did not expect.Will Jordan make it out alive?------Scores-------Cinematography: 8/10 Fairly good, but had a few problems, at least on Netflix.Sound: 8/10 No particular problems.Acting: 8/10 Steve Bacic was great; Erick Avari, an enduring favourite, was even better. James Cavlo was beyond bad. Except for him, I might have given this film a five of five. Alix Elizabeth Gitter was fine as Jordan.Screenplay: 8/10 Liked the story.
