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.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

evalha I remembered seeing this when I was a kid and it scared the crap out of me. I still remember somewhat vividly some of the scenes. Going back nearly 30 years later, I was thinking that it might be good to watch again for Halloween. I thought wrong. An outcast heretic/sinner preacher goes with his family and a few other random people to find somewhere where they can live in adultery. Instead they find hostile Indians, and take refuge in a valley where they Indians are afraid to go. Always a good idea. The "mystery" of death valley is given away before they even get there (you see, the blood of all innocent animals that are killed collects in some places, and forms into a blood hungry mindless demon which is obviously the collective will of all innocent animals.) They find a deserted settlement there which was obviously destroyed and the former residents turn out to be flesh eating ghosts. Several deaths are involved. A special needs/witch/Irish girl helps them escape. Then finally, they nail the kids in a coffin and shove it into a river to save them. Bad acting. Plot that stops making sense after the first 30 minutes. Bad special effects. This might have been good if it had been on on MST3K. You will find yourself rooting for the deaths of the settlers just to get the movie over with. Most of the reviewers of this only pretend to like it because they think it's cool to like obscure movies. This one is obscure because IT'S CRAP. I would have given this a -10, but the scale was from 1-10.

krosszone If you remotely interested in any of the above, check this flick. If you like to dig up weird movies from the 80's that no one heard of, then find this movie. The witch easily ranks as one of the scariest looking creatures of recent memory, kinda like a backwoods cousin to the homeless demon behind the restaurant in David Lynch's MUHOLLAND DRIVE. Do not expect a traditional plot line to build suspense a la BLAIR WITCH. These are second- rate actors sloughing through difficult dialog penned in an antiquated tongue. Once the characters settle in the cabin, the action becomes convoluted, fragmentary-- hard to follow what's happening or even who's who-- but still manages to be unsettling despite its confusing logic. This indie project was written and directed by one man, one vision, so I would give him the benefit of the doubt that this affect was intentional. Admittedly, the little girl's voice-over feels forced and tacked on, like trying to tie loose ends together, but in the process it brings up more information that leaves the viewer pondering. It's actually rare that voice-overs HELP the story (FIGHT CLUB jumps to mind as a positive example).Though the beginning was slow and the backstory negligible, once the conflict started, I was engrossed. I kept wondering where this movie was from, and if I didn't know it was early 80's, it could have passed for a '70's unknown Nicolas Roeg or Ken Russell picture, with those quick edits and trippy effects. So it had a kinda timeless quality that has helped it to endure among the dung heap of horror movies that have been cranked out in the last half- century. Check it.

WeirDave I saw this film by accident back in 1983 as a rental from Blockbuster. I have been hooked ever since, turning many people on to it's original story. The movie is creepy and eerie and yes the ending is open ended by the references and the characters make up for this trust me! It is an old American settlement in the woods with references to witches and druids and the evil that lies within us all. There are some neat Hitchcock like quick pans and sounds with only references to the actual happenings allowing your brain to fill in the pieces nicely. The scenes mostly take place in a dark and omniscient woods. There are some religious references which play into the plot as well. I am looking for it on DVD, you should too.

Claudio Carvalho In 1750, in a French base in the American frontier, the teenager Fanny Dalton (Sally Klein) and two children are found alone by the French soldiers. Asked about their families, they tell an amazing story to the skeptical commandants. The lived in Dalton's Ferry, a place far from the frontier, where Fanny's father Marion Dalton (Guy Boyd) was a hunter and absent of home most of the time. The local preacher Will Smythe (Dennis Lipscomb) is accused of adultery with Fanny's mother Eloise Dalton (Rebecca Stanley) and Leah (Karlene Crockett), a powerful young woman who lost her mother when she was very young, accused of witchcraft and burnt in a fire, and the locals decide to hang him. However, Will is saved by his followers and they leave the town, being chased by the Indians and Marion. They reach a valley, where an evil witch and the spirits of ancient settlers live in the trees and haunt the newcomers. Leah enhances her powers and protects the children. "Eyes of Fire" is a great tale of witch, very mystic, but with a weak conclusion. It is a low-budget movie, the special effects are very poor, but the story is original and very creepy. I regret only the open conclusion, which deserved to be much better. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Olhos de Fogo" ("Eyes of Fire")
