Steineded How sad is this?

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

begob A new pastor and his family are welcomed by the church-goers in a remote town, but a dark secret is uncovered as one of the daughters is targeted for special attention ...Fairly interesting story that's well performed but poorly paced, and the end lacks a real punch. We're introduced to the family and the life of the town with good dialogue and performances, and the innocence of the setting is well delivered through bright cinematography. But the lack of pace becomes boring - mostly through the editing rather than poor story - and the absence of shadowy atmosphere is a mistake. The frights are delivered by ho-hum CGI common to Asian horror over the past two decades. The climax is OK, but the story fails to establish a coherent myth.The lead actress is a honey, with pretty face and a generous rack, but the director doesn't let her off the leash. A few scenes are unnecessary or overfilled with dialogue, particularly when the elder pastor delivers his speeches.The lighting is mostly bright, and with the sluggish editing, the story doesn't develop much of a sense of dread. Outstanding is the sound, with subtle music and some well judged scenes where the volume is dialled down to create a sense of alienation.Overall: frustrating mix of good and bad, with a fatal flaw in the failure to explore the origin of the horror.

Leofwine_draca Another typical Hollywood horror B-movie. This one riffs on the likes of CHILDREN OF THE CORN and THE WICKER MAN in the tale of a small town hiding a dark secret. A new and boring family move into the community, where they're soon assailed by mysterious events and characters harbouring dark secrets.It's a long-winded and slow-paced story and one that doesn't offer up a whole lot of interest, it has to be said. NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR actually does better when focusing on the non-horror elements like characterisation and character interaction and falls down when it comes to the cheesy horror scenes, augmented with CGI ghostly faces as they are. It also relies too much on jump scares and clichéd, derivative moments for effect when really it should be offering something new.The cast aren't too bad, although they are given little enough to work with. Anne Heche is unrecognisable from her early Hollywood roles in the likes of SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS; she plays the suburban mother here. Rebekah Brandes isn't too bad either, although as with Alexandra Daddario in Texas CHAINSAW 3D, she's given little to do other than wander around in a skin-tight t-shirt. Clancy Brown is the best thing in it, but he doesn't have enough screen time.

FlashCallahan In the small town of Stull, Kansas, a young pastor and his devout family come face-to-face with possible evil. Pastor Dan and his wife Wendy thought Stull was the perfect place to raise their teenage daughter, and her younger sister. Shortly after arriving in town, however, the family realise Stull sits atop one of the Seven Gates of Hell, and that the townspeople are determined to herald in a new age of darkness.......Although it may seem on first impression that this is trying to hark back to weird, Gothic horror from the eighties with religious overtones, it's not, it's blatantly ripping off some of the lower budget, lesser seen movies from that era.Most notable references are Children Of The Corn, and Deadly Blessing, two films where the townsfolk are not what they would seem. Go a little deeper, and you could also defence Salem's Lot, and even Lair Of The White Worm.With all these homages, it's pretty difficult to have an original idea, and thanks to a really bloated, slow second act, you really begin to lose interest. It's as if the makers have the set up, and the finale, but spend the middle on a red herring romance, and lots of Basil Expositon.But, even though again it's not original, the last act is pretty shocking, and almost makes up for the second act. The last act is sort of an amalgamation of the ending of Halloween, and strangely, the monster from the Moomins, when everyone had to stay inside.Its a pretty sadistic third act, and it pulls no punches. The final scene is clever, but by the time you get there, you are more relieved knowing that the film is ending.So it's not bad, it's just unoriginal, and leaves too many plot holes.

Saiph90 Watched this last night and thought it was not the worst film I have watched lately and did not stink the place out {on the plus side it was free on Sky, well free in the sense I did not pay any more than the exorbitant Sky monthly fee} I then went to see other peoples reviews and have started to think I have become immune to bad films, I know why, I have watched some dirge, here is my list of abysmal films,The Silent House Greystone Park Last Passenger Black Rock Magic Magic Devil's Due The Double Vanishing on 7th Street The Darkest hour Battleshipand of course 'The Innkeepers' which I must have been drunk or ridiculously generous in giving it more than 1 star, this is the film which has what appears to be CCTV footage of someone putting the bins out, which has no relevance to the story plot etc. and I wondered if it had been cut by accident into the film, unfortunately this was one of the better parts of the film. Anyway back to Nothing to Fear, story, a pastor relocates from the city to a rural community {the story a bit like but no where in the same league as the original Wicker man} which unfortunately sits above the gates of hell. One of the daughters is chosen and is sacrificed to close the gates. not sure why they opened it in the first place but like a lot of stuff in the film you could drive a horse and trap through the holes in the plot. So the acting a touch wooden, script pretty bland, plot OK, shocks, well none, plus parts I could hear it without cranking it up to 30 on the TV and it was OK, dammed through faint praise?
