Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Michael Ledo In ancient times Isobel Redwood (Danielle Bux) is accused of killing her son and is hung as a witch. Her body is cut up into 9 pieces and buried. The tree is cursed as is the house/ pig farm of St.Jonas. Other children die there and dare others to touch the tree. A mom (Sarah Rose Denton) with two children Emma (Lucy Clarvis) and Jake (Lawrence Weller) unknowingly move into St. Jonas. Neighborhood bullies force Jake to play Ouija Board in the barn with the expected negative results.The film starts off interesting and maintains interest in spite of the lame mother. The characters were not really developed that well. I enjoyed the ghost/witch/haunting story watching it cold without reading the back cover. (Okay I did read the back cover but quickly forgot it.) The problem with the back cover and IMDB is that the second word is a plot spoiler which ruins the twist. It is like knowing the twist in "The Other" before you watch it. If you plan on watching the film, don't read about it.Guide: F-bomb, sex? nudity (Lucy Jane Clarvis)
redrobin62-321-207311 Really, there is not one original frame in this flick. Not one. You've seen everything here before and you can see what's going to happen from 10 miles away.At the risk of giving out spoilers, I won't go into the details. Let's just say that this is a poor man's Amityville Horror or The Shining or...any countless other haunted house films made in the past 100 years or so.The good news is I won't remember how unoriginal and uninteresting this film was 10 minutes from now. How come I didn't give the movie a 1? The cinematography wasn't too shabby; did kind of look like digital film, though which, truth be told, just does not for a film-look make. Digital video has its place in music videos and commercials, but in movies, a less-clean, slightly-muted look is preferable. All involved tried their best with the lousy, unoriginal script they had. Could've been worse, but also could've been better.
Andy Cowley I read a couple of reviews, but I agree now with another reviewer that they MUST somehow be connected to the film! They MUST have seen another film, as this is not the film I watched! It's like a bad episode of Eastenders.Unbelievable story line - Husband is in a coma, so wife decides buy a huge 600 year old farm to keep her pigs,(Really?) where there is a tree in the woods (By the way, the tree looked about 60 years old, if it was 600+ years old, I am sure it would have been bigger and wider. By the way, it is NOT the tree on the cover of the DVD. They couldn't even be bothered to find a decent tree, which is supposed to be central to the whole story!)Very short "Kids around the campfire telling stories" set up to let you know that a "Wronged woman" was hanged for witchcraft, and has been killing kids ever since.. Then, usual run of the mill sequences of 'turn round and there's either no one there, or there is someone there, wide eyed, covered with blood and their tongues hanging out, with sudden loud crashing sound to try and make you jump...' Insidious did it so much better and creepier...Very poor acting, poor clichéd supposed scary moments (I was expecting a cat to suddenly jump out and squeal ala Stephen King) it is that bad.Dad in a coma, can presumably "see" what is going on at home, and after how many months, suddenly starts talking, saying, "Jake... House...Jake..." so the daughter calls the nurse, who tells her, "They can tend to speak quite a bit at this stage, but it's just a reaction from the nerves..." Really? Coma patients suddenly start talking, and it's a sign that they're getting WORSE!!?? I got this hoping to watch it with the family, we really tried to like it and watch it, but we turned it off after 45 minutes as it was THAT bad!
jackstupidjack I don't know who has written the other reviews here but I'm guessing they're connected to this heap of dross in some way. Only a mentally deficient person could possibly extract a single positive from this utter nonsense. The acting isn't even Am Dram standard, to compare it so would be unfair on the many wholehearted folks who participate in Am Dram. Wooden, spiritless and talentless. The story is beyond preposterous, the characters ludicrous, especially the moody teenage girl and 'tearaway' young lad. What I can't understand is how the directors and producers when watching rushes of this film didn't throw their hands up and admit they have made an utter howler and just bin the lot. That would have been the kind thing to do for the world at large.
