WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

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

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Paul Magne Haakonsen With "Staunton Hill" being a horror/thriller, and with my long-running love for the horror genre, then of course I took the chance to watch "Staunton Hill" when I got the chance. I didn't know anything about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, but still decided to give it a go.I managed to make it through a staggering 49 minutes of prolonged suffering as I watched "Staunton Hill". Then I just simply gave up out of sheer and profound boredom. Very little happened through the 49 minutes that I managed to endure, it was quite boring and uneventful.There was some good enough scenes at the farmstead with some bloody and gore-filled visuals. But that hardly managed to lift up the less than mediocre overall result that the movie turned out to be.The characters in the movie were not particularly interesting, and they were actually generic, one-dimensional and lacking personality and layers. As such, it felt like watching cardboard cut-outs of the characters waltz around on the screen.I can in all honesty say that I have no intention of returning to "Staunton Hill" to see if the movie picks up or not. Because from what I saw from the 49 minutes deterred me permanently. If you enjoy horror movies, then there are far, far better choices readily available in the horror genre.

trashgang The apple and the tree, you know, most expressions are true. Bava and his son, Argento and his daughter and here we have in capital on the sleeve Romero. Of course we are talking of cult figure George A. Romero. But here the expression of the apple doesn't count. Yes, some parts are really well but it's only on the screen for maybe 10 minutes. Those parts are extremely gory and the red stuff flows copious but the rest of this flick is so dull. Not one actor or actress is convincing. It isn't really a slasher it's in the kind of hillbillies goes berserk. But they do it for only as mentioned maybe 10 minutes. There is to much blah blah and the director teases us with coming nudity but it never comes. Not that it is necessary but face it. If you show a girl go stripping in a shed then you expect that she shows her juggs. Or as one girl is stripped by the killer in her undies and he cut her knickers in shreds then you again expect to see it all, but no, he cuts away to another shot. When there is gore it is really greasy but I won't recommend it to gorehounds or slasher geeks. It's just one to see how you can make a bad movie.

kosmasp In Germany the cover of the DVD states: Romero's Staunton Hill. And while it is true, that the directors name is Romero, it is not Mr. George A. Romero himself. It is his son. While not his first movie (and hopefully not his creative height), this is a decent effort. Of course with the burden of the Romero name, he almost is damned to deliver. I wonder what daddy says/thinks ...Seriously though: I'm sure he encouraged his son to take this step into the film world. If it the right decision ... well only time will tell. Judging him after this movie wouldn't be fair. After all, not everyone can be a Romero ... A. Romero that is, and deliver a Masterpiece as his first big movie (Night of the living Dead).While the characters are bland, the storyline confusing and quite some flaws in the story department, it's still more or less your standard fare backwoods horror movie. Nothing special, but not particularly bad either ...

Heislegend I know the pressure on Cameron Romero must be massive. I mean...he went into directing horror movies as the son of a legend. That's got to be like being the kid of Lance Armstrong and picking up a bicycle for the first time. That being said, I'm willing to cut him some slack, but sometimes I feel like I'm giving him just enough rope to hang himself with.Staunton Hill is definitely not something you want in your portfolio if you're trying to make a name as a horror director. Nothing about this film feels original at all and even though you've seen it done a million times, you've seen it done much better. I won't place the blame solely on Romero because the whole thing was pretty bad...acting, directing, writing, the theme...pretty much everything.One of my major gripes with this film is the end. I'm not going to give anything away, but I think the end of the movie is supposed to be a surprise reveal. The problem? The movie very clearly addresses this about half way through. Why anyone thought the ending would be a surprise is beyond me, and it's almost insulting. I still have hopes for the younger Romero, but this is just beating a dead horse with another dead horse.
