A Haunting at Silver Falls (2013)

Strong and Moving!

Fantastic!

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It wasn't terrible per say... I love class B movies... However I was a little annoyed that I'm still sitting here asking questions about the movie. A lot of why's and how's. Why are Anna and Kevin nuts? Why did they kill Anna's sister? Why did they even bother bringing that "cool kid" into the show? I feel like they could have done a lot more for the story line.

A young teenager is haunted by a ghost in a small town. Now she must uncover the truth behind this haunting...First off I was quite surprised at how well this film was made and the low rating received considering the budget. Everything from the acting to the plot was outstanding. I was very well pleased with the lead acting and the story. Not to mention that according to the film this is based on a true story and that always leaves you thinking of the possibilities. The special effects were a bit flawed but it could have been worse. Definitely a good choice for a late night scare. 6 of 10!

A small town is haunted by the twin daughters of a wrongfully convicted man. Young Jordan (Alix Elizabeth Gitter) is sent down the path to who the real killer is only to find the killer is very close to her.I figured this was going to be yet another disposable film with no names and little inspiration. I was wrong on both counts. One, it actually has a cast member (Erick Avari) whose face you have seen other places. And two, it is far better than the average "haunting" film because the story is not really about the ghosts at all.I have to single out James Cavlo as Larry, and I hope to see Cavlo in more things. In this film he seemed to be referencing "American Werewolf in London" by his style, and I am unsure if this was intentional. His look and delivery were excellent, so I hope we see him in bigger things in the future.The lead actress, Alix Gitter, is also excellent. She seems to have done even less than Cavlo, though her growing list of films might catch someone's eye. She is talented and has a look that I think would take her far in Hollywood. I hope so.

apologies, the contains spoiler box was not working so I put it in the title and on the first line. This movie was incredibly ordinary. It was neither good nor bad, just there. It's the kind of movie you would watch on TV if there wasn't anything else on. The acting is acceptable, not great but okay. The guardians come across as wooden, the main character as vacuous, and the romance factor utterly flat. There are several events in the movie that are very difficult to buy even when you are very good at suspending disbelief. Some of the worst: A psychiatrist who sees patients in his kitchen and asks his son to stay in the room while having a session. A cop who brings a file on teen suicides who all claimed to have seen ghosts to said psychiatrist's house, drops it on a table, then leaves. A prison system that would allow teenage girls to talk to a man on death row about to be executed for murdering his daughters because a psychiatrist thought it might be therapeutic. There are other things but those are the most glaring. The ghosts are the kind we've seen a million times lately thanks to current cgi technology. The pasty white girls with scraggly hair who move in jerky frame edits and occasionally shake their heads very fast for no apparent reason. It's okay, good enough to watch all the way through if you have nothing better to do. I'd recommend you skip it and rent or stream a good movie and wait until it shows up on Fox or ScyFy.
