Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
stalkingwolf83 I caught this movie on TV a few years ago and wasn't expecting much ( I never do of teen horror movies) but this was OK.It's about some girl who moves to a new town and hears about a legend of a witch burned and that there's still a group of descendants of the witch who formed a club and believe the girl to be a reincarnation of the witch their ancestors burned earlier.OK I'll be honest here, I had to refresh my memory on this page on the story because I did not remember much of it but I do remember mildly enjoying this movie.There is no gore or pointless bloodshed in it, but it does have it's exciting moments (I wasn't as much of a horror movie buff as I am today).Recommended for a good night of somewhat cheesy fun.
lost-in-limbo Actually it wasn't too bad… for a made for TV horror and post-Scream outing. "I've Been Waiting For You" (another eye grabbing title) is a feebly light-weight teenage aimed story mixing elements of witchcraft (leading girl interested in the occult / the town living in fear of a curse) / slasher staples (killer with metal claws, black cloak and a hokey looking mask) that when it came to the crunch it's rather diluted, but doesn't hurt. Fashionable, but formulaic we've seen it all before. The story (taken off the novel of Lois Duncan --- Gallows Hill --- who was also behind "Stranger in Our House" and "I know What You Did Last Summer") might consist of messy plot details (trying to be too clever at times, than letting it flow), an terribly incoherent staged climax (which is risible for all the wrong reasons… and so are the flimsy attacks sequences) and bestowing a heavy-handed script, but in all it keeps you wrapped within the shallow mystery thanks to largely the agreeable performances (of mainly not particularly likable characters). Sarah Chalke is exceptionally good in the lead, giving her character spunk with her smart-lipped lines. The rest of the cast get your basic teenage sketching. Director Christopher Leitch (''Teen Wolf too'' (1987), oh yeah!) offers no real surprises by doing a pedestrian job, creating a decent image or two, but suspense and atmosphere is weakly conceived. Even though it begins to lose its puff towards the end, gladly the time still breezes by if transparently.
whpratt1 Sarah Chalke,(Sarah Zoltanne) has to leave Sunny California for a small town in New England and start her college year among a group of trouble makers, who for some mysterious reason give poor Sarah a very hard time. Sarah and her mother are staying in a very old house that has many tales from the past which most of the town people know about; and there is a certain curse that a girl named Sarah will return to their town someday and revenge the horror this person experienced years and years ago. This is an entertaining film, but keeps going around and around in circles and it becomes very apparent who the real trouble maker or makers turn out to be. You have seen films with a story line like this many times before.
kolohehele91 Its barely a one out of 10! The movie was a complete disaster! The acting was watchable I'll give it that, but the entire movie was just too out there. I mean, this guy running around with an X Men style weapon.....nobody finds that just a wee bit on the stupid side??? I don't mean to offend anyone who likes this movie, but I am only stating my opinion. I've never read the novel that this movie is supposed to be based on, but according to other comments by other watchers, it was nothing like the movie. In my opinion, thats one of the worst thing a director can do to a writer. It makes me upset when they take a writers work and completely change the story to draw an audience. This sort of thing happened in Maeve Binchy's classic "Circle of Friends". It was a great book, then when was made into a movie, the story changed. The ending was even changed. Anyway, I don't mean to rant. In a short; "I've Been Waiting For You" is a great example of a terrible movie.~kolohehele
