VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Nywildcat1 When I watch a low budget movie, I don't compare it to the same standards that I would to a big budget Hollywood epic. I completely understand the lack of funds, so I don't necessarily have a problem with poor lighting, bad acting (you get what you pay for), etc. What I look for most is story. Is it at least well written? With "Sight", I would have to say yes and no. The storyline is interesting at first (man who can see dead people meets girl that can, too). Only to end up a messy, convoluted mess that at some parts don't make sense. For example: When Jeffrey relays the story of the first time he saw his mother's ghost, he was so scared he trips and impales himself on a wooden stake from a fence (you're left to wonder if that really happened). He has other confusing visions like that throughout the movie too. Jeffrey also sees ghosts everywhere, but doesn't really interact with any of them. His seeing ghosts can almost be considered superfluous to the plot (except for the ending that involved Dana's father). Now I know that in can be argued that the filmmaker's point was to throw red herrings at you to make you think whether or not he was telling the truth about his abilities, are these actual memories, or was he just hallucinating? But they throw so much at you, that after awhile, you just stop caring. And, of course, there was the usual "twist" ending.This movie had a lot of potential, and really could have been an interesting little indie film had it had a few more rewrites and underwent a little more editing.

proteusphi The 2008 horror film "Sight" can only be called a diamond in the rough. It's production values are humble, but the director, write, and actors all come through to deliver a surprising creepy and deeply dark tale.The story centers around Jeffery, a quiet, introverted man who just so happens to be able to see the dead. A movie that never pulls punches, "Sight" opens up with a tableau of Jeffery's childhood and the abuse he suffers from his father. The acting and storytelling skill of this scene alone is enough to understand why Lionsgate would have produced such a low-budget film. From there the story transitions into Jeffery's adult life where he encounters the mysterious Dana, a woman sets off a chain of events that spiral our hero into a world of darkness. I won't give too much away, except to say that once you look past the image quality of the film, the story will make it impossible to stop watching until the end.This brings us to the one bad aspect of the film: the low-budget appearance. You can tell they didn't have a lot to work with; but what they did have, they used remarkably well. The blood and gore look creepier and more realistic than in "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" - I kid you not. The lighting in "Sight" is both a blessing and curse. At times it gives the film an impressionistic feel, but at other points you're straining your eyes just to see what's going on. The movie is just SO dark at some parts, but too bright and blurry at other parts. The film quality they were using really shows, and it's sad.What isn't anything to worry about is the acting. I found Clayton Haske (Jeffery) and Tony Luke (Paul) totally believable. Allison Persaud seemed a little amateurish, but more experience she is really going to do great.All in all this is a movie that came out of nowhere to be something truly dark and scary. Schizophrenic shots, sadistic nightmare sequences, impressionistic lighting, gory visual effects and LOADS of blood, hair-raising sound effects and a score that will remind you of the Silent Hill games. It all comes together for a stunning American ghost story with a pitch black ending. With all the remakes that studios have been doing recently, I feel this one should near the top of the list. Regrettably, the gritty and dark storyline may be too much for some. But horror fans will definitely like this. Look out for writer/director Adam Ahlbrandt, he's truly talented.

EEBrown-1 I think this movie was pretty good for a low budget Philly movie. It contained some basic elements as twists, who done its, and so forth. These elements keep you guessing, causes you to wonder and be confused, as well as makes you jump at times. There is an artistic use of lighting, as well as the volumes of voice. Then there was the purposeful absence of facial expression when called for. All the makings of a decent flick. Everyone wants to be a critic.The movie was good enough to be selected by one or more film festivals and get a distribution deal, which is a lot more than what some of you critics can boast about. So there.

don_robeo O.K., just saw this and thought I'd say a little something while it was fresh since there's no other comments. This is low-budget film backed by Lion's Gate Entertainment. I admit that was the main reason I watched it. Usually I'd put my money on those guys. It paid off well enough. First let me say, if you don't like those youtube videos where you are staring at something harmless like an empty room and after a few moments goes by all of a sudden there's a high pitched squeal from a demon lady ogling you then DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE. Chances are you are gonna jump a few times during this. The colors of the film itself are the wash-outed look of "The Matrix" movies (when its not in a black and white dreamscape) and in my opinion work really well. Other than that there isn't much more that I can say about my opinion other than I was entertained. Some of the acting from secondary characters left much to be desired (including the young Dana, the old Dana was o.k.), you'll know when you see. I'm not gonna harp or rave every detail but the film did work, holes and all. The dreams got a little confusing sometimes and I felt I wasn't sure what did happen in real time by comparison but, the film stayed interesting if not riveting from start to finish. The rest contain spoilers...The story revolves around and is seen through the eyes of a young man named Jeffery. At an early age Jeffery saw things, dead people, that nobody else could. His father, who hasn't been right since he lost Jeffery's mother during childbirth, ruefully disbelieves him when Jeffery tells him he has seen his mother and has him committed to a mental hospital.Years later, Jeffery finds out that his father has committed suicide and when he is released stays clear of his house. One night he bumps into a girl(Dana) right after he has "seen" a dead person in an alley who seems "see" her also. They talk for awhile over coffer until Dana has to go with the request Jeffery help her the next night deliver food to the elderly. Jeffery shows up and meets Paul whom he assumes is Dana's boyfriend who drives them both to their delivery points. Paul doesn't like Jeffery from word go and tells him to stay away from Dana. Later that night a distressed Dana calls Jeffery and asks him to pick her up because Paul had been "drinking and acting weird". She asked if she could stay at his place and Jeffery agreed, she could have the bedroom he'd stay on the couch. Jeffery awakens to a crash and Paul coming at him with a baseball bat. Paul puts him in a coma for almost a year and a half.Jeffery must figure out what happened to him and why. Who is Dana? Who is Paul and why did he try to kill me? With nightmares and spooks behind every closet door, this was a pretty fun low-budget film.
