The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh (2012)

Simply A Masterpiece

Good movie but grossly overrated

Brilliant and touching

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It was absolutely awful and a complete waste of my time.One actor and the same scene all the time.Camera's angles were like cameraman died in front of the door ,twice.There wasn't any plot and there was only one jump scare. To sum up 80 minutes of my life were wasted because of this movie.DO NOT WATCH IT I REPEAT DO NOT WATCH IT!!!It was absolutely awful and a complete waste of my time.One actor and the same scene all the time.Camera's angles were like cameraman died in front of the door ,twice.There wasn't any plot and there was only one jump scare.

First of all, this is not the classic Horror / Thriller movie one might expect.Its has very few 'Scary/Jump Scare' scenes, but after a while you get into the movies atmosphere , a very dark and unpleasant one , and that is what makes it so enjoyable. The story itself is nothing too exciting just filled with a lot of religious images, but its not the story that makes this movie good. Its more like reading a 'scary' book than watching a movie ( :p if that makes any sense)But anyway, if someone wants something less 'Jump scary', but more moody and creepy its really worth checking out!

There's nothing wrong with a story that starts out slowly with nothing happening yet. But half an hour into the movie you get the feeling that it isn't getting better at all and you're right: we our stuck with one actor in one specific location for the entire duration of this so called "ghost story". That kind of stretches it because it's slow and boring as hell without any thrills or scares. The credits show Vanessa Redgrave as second name but we only hear her voice. Another female character is only heard during phone conversations and when our main character (unknown actor, not bad but not great either and certainly not worth watching every minute) opens the door for a neighbor, (Yes ! Finally another cast member !!) we do not even get to see him. The special effects are kind of limited: we have a Holy Maria statue that opens her eyes and a very poorly executed CGI black wolf that's not scary or convincing and has no purpose at all. Watching this wretched tale end is even more disappointing, because there's no real ending. No thrills, no surprises, no closure, it just kind of stops. And when the credits finally role, you can't help wondering why cheap crap like this is still made. Who's the target audience ? I'm sure the creators weren't aware either, they were just cashing in on the hype of supernatural ghost/horror movies.

It's weird they labeled this as horror. Well, maybe the horror comes from the realization in the end - your mother killed herself over loneliness and your guilt haunted you so bad that you had to hallucinate supernatural things in order to come to terms with it (and many other things). It's a terrifying situation, but this is no horror flick. It would be better depicted as drama. And it deserved more time - Vanessa Redgrave deserved to shine and dazzle us on screen. Certain aspects of it were undeveloped (it had a chance of turning into a very good horror flick on the dad, but they simply ignored it) and some were overrated (the thing with statues? Doctor Who did it already. I spent the whole time warning myself not to blink and remembering David Tennant's monologue on the Weeping Angels). But I found it nice. It didn't bore me to death, it had a surprise in the end, the atmosphere was good to follow, the acting wasn't bad... It's one of those movies you jut think "it could do so much better", you know? But I can't say it was bad. It was decent entertainment after all.
