SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Gar Conn I'm mostly impressed at what they did for $200,000, It's a very good film with a range of emotions. A creepy love story with enough scares to keep you engaged. Different enough to be worth your viewing time. Also, the dialogue was spoken strong enough, so I didn't need to use subtitles. I've seen too many movies forget about that.
jdegeling The story behind this film is original and well written. The actors are well known and very good at what they do as well as the director. I would not say this was not a horror movie, but it most certainly was a well organized psychological thriller. It has a relatively slow beginning but grows to be more and more intense through out the film. So if you liked "The Shining", "Paranormal Activity" and "Sinister", I highly recommend this film. Also, If you don't like a particular genre of movie, please don't rate it! It spoils it for others who are looking for a good film. Ex " This movie was too scary" or "i generally don't like..." If you never liked the genre to begin with, chances are you wont like the movie... So don't give it crappy ratings giving false impressions to others!!! Some genres just aren't for you!!!
LeonLouisRicci There is Nothing Very Quiet going on here. There are a lot of Jump Scares and Loud Noises. The Overuse of these Cheap Thrills are the Film's Biggest and most Glaring Flaw.The Look of the Thing is 1970's and it could have been Shot On Film Stock from some Archive. The Movie manages the Retro Feel and this adds to the Creep Factor Immensely. In Addition, the Acting is Superb for a B-Picture and the Scares, aside from the aforementioned Jumps are Gripping and have a Docu-Style Gravitas. It's pretty Bloody and Gory for a PG-13. The Movie st Times is Aided by a Realistic Ambiance.It gets a bit Confusing in the Third Act and not all of it Makes a lot of Sense, but the Film cannot be denied its ability to Intrigue with a Complex Psychological/Demonic Possession Story. The Intertwining of "Documentary" Footage inside Documentary Footage Works well. Although the Found Footage that occasionally Intrudes may have been Better on the Cutting Room Floor. At this point in Time, the Overuse of this Type of Thing is Unwelcome.
eddie_baggins Another new addition to the revitalized Hammer horror production line up, John Pogue's The Quiet Ones failed to reach the heights of Hammer's far more accomplished and well received reimaging of The Woman in Black from 2012 and completely flopped on release both critically and commercially. With many deriding The Quiet Ones on release and with a lowly feedback score from audiences you would expect this horror venture to be scarily bad, but in a surprising turn the film is a lot more effective than one would suspect even though it's potential was still far from reached.Another horror story inspired by actual events, the greatest strength of The Quiet Ones is in the telling of it's at times believable story, you're never absolutely sure on what exactly is occurring in the sense that there is either a rational explanation behind events or something far more sinister. Going the route of some old school found footage format in major places of the film also works well, unlike most modern day set found footage films where footage seems to be shot at the most inappropriate of times, the home movie filming here ads to the tension of the experiments taking place and never gets in the way of the actors who are led well by the ever good Jared Harris.Harris is another reason The Quiet Ones works to the level it does. Oft given tame supporting turns (Pompeii anyone?) Harris shares leading man duties with Sam Claflin's (who all girls would no doubt know as Finnick Odair from the Hunger Games) cameraman Brian, as dogged professor Coupland who is hell bent on finding a cure for the troubled/possessed young lady Jane Harper. Harris is a nice anchoring presence in a pretty fiery role while Claflin to has good moments as Brian. Director Pogue may fail to fully capitalize on the scares available to him with this story but there are enough jolts and jumps throughout to suggest that you'll think twice about sleeping with the lights off.The Quiet Ones is a small, effective little horror that never achieves any major heights to do anything that hasn't been seen before but there is enough within its intriguing story and enough power in its cast to overcome most major hurdles that occur with many such modern day horrors, that mainly being that they just aren't that scary. With a nice lead turn from Harris and some unpredictable turns, you could do far worse for your newest horror fix.3 untypical baby dolls out of 5 For more movie reviews and opinions check out - www.jordanandeddie.wordpress.com
