Besetment (2016)

Touches You

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

A unemployed woman finds a job in a ugly looking hotel where she meet an old woman who hires her. The woman who seems very nice has a dark secret, and a dark agenda. Besetment is obviously a B-movie, there's no doubt about that, however you don't see that in the production, direction, maybe in the acting, nothing else.

Seriously, the only disappointment I can find in this shocker are the low IMDB ratings. It would seem the movie going public has come to accept recent Hollywood dreck in the guise of the horror genre as legit. I turn your attention to an actual horror movie not based on or centered around; 1) a graveyard 2) an insane asylum 3) a haunted house 4) demons & 5) kids lost in the woods who find a haunted house near a graveyard or nuthouse and then get possessed or harassed by demons. A vivid imagination along with some referential grindhouse/ exploitation style filmmaking sure goes a long way especially in the hands of a skilled director who included top notch acting, convincing character development and a compelling story line. This story has everything needed for a gothic psychotropic rave-up that's modernized just enough to help redefine the postmodern all-American horror film complete with a patina of grimy sleaze. The brilliance of this presentation is demonstrated additionally by the constraint shown in the scenes of violence and twisted sexuality. None of that over the top in your face spook house induced loud violence that goes on for hours thus losing potency. If you can't be entertained by high art infused with incest, heads blown off, kidnapping, rape, familial dementia and home medical strategies then I suppose a concept like " Texas Chainsaw " or "10,000 Maniacs " is simply lost. Otherwise, skip this real thriller & go back to the demon in the haunted house with a graveyard and kids near the loony bin in the dark rain and junk.

I did not really look this movie up on IMDb before I saw it and I usually avoid horror movies with less than 5 points. I just forgot it this time and started watching the movie. I enjoyed the movie and didn't think it was bad at all. It was actually kind of good, but it is a movie that will be forgotten after a week, but it was not bad. The only thing I was reacting on was the ending which WAS bad. That completely destroyed the movie and that's why I had to look it up on IMDb afterwards. Still worth a try though if you have nothing to do and just want to consume a random horror movie and not get disappointed.

The Plot Amanda Millard, desperate for a job, takes a maid position at the Oregon Hotel in the creepy, back country town of Mitchell, Oregon. Owners Mildred Colvin and her Son Billy seem nice enough at first. But once Amanda discovers their real intentions, a struggle to make a living turns into a fight for her life.Acting isn't so good.The story takes it's time to unfold. It's not a bad story but it needs some action earlier. If you like GILF sex, you will love the middle of the movie. I practically threw up. I wanted to bale when Harley Quinn showed up.A watch is not worth it
