Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
dannyrange A unemployed woman finds a job in a ugly looking hotel where she meet an old woman who hires her. The woman who seems very nice has a dark secret, and a dark agenda. Besetment is obviously a B-movie, there's no doubt about that, however you don't see that in the production, direction, maybe in the acting, nothing else.
patriarch-k I did not really look this movie up on IMDb before I saw it and I usually avoid horror movies with less than 5 points. I just forgot it this time and started watching the movie. I enjoyed the movie and didn't think it was bad at all. It was actually kind of good, but it is a movie that will be forgotten after a week, but it was not bad. The only thing I was reacting on was the ending which WAS bad. That completely destroyed the movie and that's why I had to look it up on IMDb afterwards. Still worth a try though if you have nothing to do and just want to consume a random horror movie and not get disappointed.
Ross Little Medium shot, close up, medium shot, close up, medium shot, close up, long shot, medium shot, break the 180 degree rule, long shot....Total rubbish. Story is drivel. Acting is awful. Characters aren't in any way shape or form believable. Totally totally pointless and bland.Don't even bother..... really don't...
Claudio Carvalho The unemployed Amanda Millard (Abby Wathen) is desperate to find a job since she is forced to live with her alcoholic estranged mother. Out of the blue, she is invited to a job interview at the Oregon Hotel in Mitchell in the countryside of Oregon 80 miles far from home. When she arrives, she is welcomed by the nice Mildred Colvin (Marlyn Mason) that offers a maid position to Amanda and her son Billy Colvin (Michael Meyer) fix her car. Amanda returns home to say goodbye to her mother and to her friend Brittany (Sonya Davis) and bring her belongings to Mitchell. Soon Amanda befriends the cook Brad (Max Gutfreund) from a nearby eatery and spends her day off with him. When she returns to the hotel, she faints and learns that she is pregnant. But how, if she has not had any sexual encounter with any man?"Besetment" is a horror thriller with a promising storyline but a weak screenplay and poor production with extreme low-budget. The flawed plot could have explored the situations better and developed the characters better. Brad, for example, is murdered but the viewer does not know anything about him and no resident seems to miss him. Mildred uses a gunshot in the middle of the night and nobody hears the shot. Amanda is abused in the hotel and sees her friend murdered in her room, but she keeps the baby and moves to live in the place in the end. The director and writer Brad Douglas is quick to make amends to the polemic situations using fade out, such as the incestuous relationship of Billy and Mildred, or she sewing Amanda's mouth. There is one very funny line (Amanda saying to Mildred "I'm either giving birth to the new messiah or that doctor's full of s hit!") and one attempt with the Sheriff that can not recall the correct codes. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): Not Available
