The Haunting of Helena (2013)

Lack of good storyline.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I really can't say enough bad things about this movie. The plot lines are choppy, the acting is terrible, and so much happens that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I dare say I've regretfully lost a precious 84 minutes of my life which I will never be able to get back. I'll mention a couple of things specifically. There's a car crash which looks to be devastating involving the main characters are thrown off a bridge. Following that, there are no noticeable wounds or damage to them. They seem to carry on as though it never happened. Then some bizarre scene with what is supposed to be the tooth fairy I think puts a piano in a hallway and chases the mother and daughter out of their house. Next thing you know,, we inexplicably jump ahead in time. It was either 18 months, or 18 years. I forget which, and the fact that I just watched this train wreck should be an indication as to the quality of this movie. I could go on, but I won't. I think you get the point. Listen to Nancy Regan, and just say no!

Despite the negative reviews, I found this movie watchable. Some may have felt that it was only worthy to be watched as a last resort movie, but this is not true.Although this movie left some questions unanswered (such as what is the main character's job and why is she teaching in Italy but speaks English to her Italian students? or why are the subtitles so small where you can't really tell what really happened until the truth comes out in the end), it has a few great scares that made me jump and a great twist ending that explains what REALLY happened! If you rent this movie, don't do so out of boredom or as a last resort, do it because you like a great movie. If you liked movies such as They, Boogeyman or Darkness Falls, this is the movie for you.

Okay...while I will not say this not the best movie I've ever seen...I will say it was at least scary...in a few parts. I know there is NO such thing as a happy ending as far as horror movies go...but damn, this ending sucked. I'm used to a huge shocker at the end...or the crazed villain or monster still being alive after the end of the movie...but wow...this one takes the cake.The movie wasn't too hard to follow and the acting was better than I'd hoped...given this production company was one I'd not heard of before...AND the whole film was made in Italy...but as far as recommending it to someone to watch....eh...I just don't think so...sorry guys.

This is odd one, I thought it some really good ideas in this movie,I loved some of scenes in this movie, it there really well made but they didn't seem to have that Creepy feeling to see,I thought the plot was really good and the movie didn't flow that well, it felt some scenes in the movie felt bit strange in bad way.I actually liked the last scenes in this movie and I would have it a bit chilling then it was but that could have been a really good chilling moment,Another probable with this movie was some of the acting was really Wooden at times in this movie but some scenes there was decent acted scenes. Not great movie but worth watching a least once 4 out of 10
