Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
GL84 Plagued by disturbing nightmares, a young woman returns to her hometown in Gatlin, Nebraska and learns that the town are all disciples of a fanatical cult leader behind her visions that have been intended to get her to fulfill a prophecy and tries to stop it from happening.There was some good stuff to this one when it tried to. One of it's best features is the fact that there's a couple well-designed action scenes spread throughout that make for a rather entertaining element. The car chase is the most impressive, as the monster truck chasing them allows for some nice visuals coming out over the corn- rows and the cramped location make for a thrilling, exciting encounter. Others throughout the film, from the hotel confrontations and the resurrection in the hospital, make for some nice times here, though where the film gets the best action scenes are contained in the final half-hour. There's a great ritualistic ceremony that plays out from the set-up to the actions portrayed and the chase through the cornfields with the night-time setting being a big factor as well as the flowing water, the motorcycles brought in and the incessant laughter heard in the background of the whole sequence. The extended nature of it allows for plenty of running-and-hiding which makes it feel more tense than it should, and it kick-starts the second half rather nicely. Also found in the finale is the best part, the action-packed finish that has a lot going for it and definitely gets in some really great parts to it, from the revelation that comes as a total surprise to the brawling that occurs and much more, really gets a lot of points for it. The last plus to the film is the blood and gore, which are all combined together into the film's good parts. There wasn't a whole lot of flaws, but there was a couple big areas that don't work. One of the main ones is that the film just doesn't have a whole lot going on for it in the early goings. The fact that it's mostly a mystery as to what the source behind the strange visions are is the main reason as it has to build them up and then make them threatening and worthy of an investigation then have a rational outcome that plays into the rest of the film which it fails at doing. The mystery here almost feels like a back-story during the segment it's supposed to be the main focus as it spends most of the time intermingling the search with the townspeople meet-and-greet which makes the beginning play out really slowly and not that interesting. There's also the matter of the film's biggest problem in that so many of the scenes intended to be scary just fall flat. The segments wandering around in a deserted hallway in the hospital are prime choices but instead just show her walking forever through an empty place before someone jumps out at her and the amount of time wasted here is pretty big. The last flaw here is the fact that the film doesn't really tend to show the cult as something dangerous, which was always done in the past. Here, it barely even matters since the second half is all about the reformed relationship with the cult around the edges to provide an obstacle to overcome, barely making a dent that the others had successfully done well. This isn't as noticeable as the others and can be overlooked quite easily.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a shadowy, mild sex scene
Realrockerhalloween The last remaining kids from the first film are now adults, had kids of their own and await the return of their prophet to return like a messiah.Hannah abandoned at birth travels to meet her mother that abandoned her in the town of Gatlin. She meets a boy who takes an instant interest in her as it was foretold they will conceive the promised child.This film was quite good despite the multiple plot holes within the script like adults are permitted inside the cult, they were taken to a new town in the sequel and Isaac didn't die but hung on in a coma.What makes the ending fall flat is it makes you believe a new breed of killer mutants will come forth, but Issac's first born is a case of mistaken omens which leaves you confused rather or not if they succeeded.It does drag a tiny bit unlike the other films as Hannah plays detective for evidence to who her mother is and the people that stalk her. Anyone with an IQ would've picked up the signs immediately or left town on the first bus once the weird activity started.The effects and music weren't to shabby. Any fan of the series will enjoy it no matter the cons and those who glaze over it on TV may turn the channel but it never was meant to be Broadway material.7 /10
Woodyanders Hannah Martin (an appealing performance by the pretty Natalie Ramsey) returns to her remote rural hometown of Gatlin, Nebraska to find out who her mother is. While in Gatlin, malicious religious cult leader Isaac (John Franklin in fine sinister form) awakens from his coma and plans to use Hannah as a pawn in his quest to fulfill his evil prophecy. Director Kari Skogland, working from a dark and devious script by Franklin and Tim Sulka, relates the twisted story at a steady pace, adds a few nice unnerving touches (for example, the clock in the rundown hospital that's stuck in place), delivers a handy helping of bloody gore, creates and maintains a strong spooky atmosphere of pervasive dread and unease, and concludes the movie on a bold ambiguous note. The weird kids are genuinely creepy while the ending manages to pull off a couple of surprising twists. The solid acting by the capable cast keeps the film on track: Alix Koromzay as loyal disciple deputy Cora, Paul Popowich as handsome and charismatic dissident Gabriel, Stacy Keach as wry boozy physician Doc Michaels, Nancy Allen as the bitter Rachel, and William Prael as muttering nut Jake. Richard Clabough's golden-hued cinematography provides a striking bright look. Terry Huud's shuddery score hits the spine-tingling spot. A cool fright feature.
