KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

meredithjillbrown James Cullen Bressack is the prince of horror. Once again, he brings us a scary, frightening and haunting tale of family values.After the passing of her mother, Claire and her husband Aaron (Estes and Ward) move into her childhood home where many evil memories reside. From the moment Claire and Aaron begin their new lives in this house, creepy things start to happen…and all to Claire. Is this her imagination? Does anyone see what is physically and violently happening to her? From the chilling shower scene, to the threaded face (yes, THAT made me cringe!), it is clear that Claire is being haunted by someone in her past.Flashbacks appear, as a young Claire recalls piano lessons to bouts of untidiness by her mother (a vicious Doherty who hasn't shown this level of cruelty since playing Brenda Walsh!), and the abuse endured continuously throughout her upbringing.Zack Ward is the compassionate husband Aaron, trying to get a grip on his wife's sudden outbursts and resistance to having a child of their own. "Not in this house" she snaps. You see, Claire wasn't the only child growing up in this malicious home. Her best friend was imaginary. An imaginary little girl named Bethany.So, what happened to Bethany? Is she haunting this young couple? Is she bitter about Claire's departure so many years earlier? Is she….real?There are plenty of alarming moments that will jump-scare you out of your seat. Bressack has mastered the art of terrifying you as the plot unfolds into a spine-tingling family secret that will freak you out. It's simply grotesque…how far a self-absorbed mother will go to depict the ultimately perfect family.And let's not forget the zany Tom Green! Who…well…is NOT very wacky at all. In fact, as the therapist for Claire and Aaron, he seems to be the only person with his head on straight. If you like The Grudge, you'll enjoy this. If you hated The Grudge….you'll still enjoy this. LOL!

Fern I don't expect much from any thriller/ horror movies nowadays. I just watch anything that comes out new. When it comes to Bethany, I thought it's a bit slow paced at start but it gets creepy and intense til the end. Well plotted, and casts were pro acted. Totally worth watching I must say 👍🏻

Nathaniel Kearney "Bethany" is a well crafted Horror title that, unlike most horror, doesn't spend half the budget on fake blood and prosthetics. It doubles down on plot and character development. Aaron (Zack ward) is an easily relatable husband wanting only a family and financial security with his wife Claire (Stefanie Estes) This is put in Jeopardy when the couple inherit Claire's mother's house and Claire starts to experience a psychological breakdown the source of which is explained through the movie. The episodes are believable in what a psychosis looks like, ranging from to the "no way that's actually happening" to the "maybe that is real". Overall the movie is enjoyable, well written and acted. It has the quota of jump scares and uncomfortable shots one would expect but the best part was the questions to the nature of a psychosis and how would people really react to it ? Overall I recommend you watch it if you want a story that has more body than blood.

Lady Persephone Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. There were some legitimately unsettling scenes that unfolded throughout the course of the movie (particularly the fingernail scene and the sewing on of the mask). As the movie progresses, we see more glimpses of the abusive nature of Claire's mother. This psychological plot point was handled well. The pacing of the movie was good, and the ending was satisfying. The story of Bethany/Mallory unfolded nicely as well. The main actress, Stefanie Estes, did a great job. Some of the flaws of the movie: Honestly, I just didn't enjoy the acting of Zack Ward. His performance felt one dimensional and unrealistic, and I wish they had gotten someone else to play that role as Aaron was such a central character. There were also a few things that seemed out of place/disjointed. One of my smaller grievances is the fact that nobody seemed the smell the decaying body that was trapped within the house. I can forgive this a bit because it a horror and we are to suspend some disbelief. My biggest grievance would be the death of the psychiatrist. It just didn't fit, and I don't like how it was handled. Very unsatisfying. Like I said, overall I did enjoy the movie as a whole. It's definitely worth a watch if your a fan of psychological horror/haunted house horror fare.
