What A Letdown...... First of all, I must say that the box to this movie is very misleading! With statements like.... He's Watching, He's waiting, He's not alone and a picture of someone holding a chainsaw!!!, I thought wow, this will be a really good movie. Not the case. This moving is very boring. It takes place in an isolated cabin in the forest with a widowed woman living alone. She meets a man named Michael Bodine and eventually finds out that he is a serial killer on the loose. Before finding this out, Bodine cleverly tries to take on the personality of Lacey's late husband in hopes of gaining her trust and possibly start a romance. Once Lacey discovers who Bodine really is, she begins a fight for her life. This movie could have been worse but it is not a true horror movie for horror movie fans. I've learned not to let the box fool you!!!
How can I put this without ruining the movie? This movie was an unexpected gem...
I bought it for less than three dollars at a BIG LOTS department store and came home expecting a typical slasher Friday The 13th meets My Blood Valentine type movie..
was I wrong..
what I got was something amazing.. somethign smart and clever.. something way more than the DVD box or the trailer promised.. and that was a beautiful thing
I promise you.. if you like obscure movies find this for less than 5 bux and buy it..
At least if you don't like it you won't have spent more than a rental fee..
THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE I really only give this movie 0 stars. I absolutely hate this movie! I couldnt even watch the whole thing, because I'm sure that if I watched 5 more minutes of this movie, my eyes would explode!!!! I would rather gnaw my toes off, eat them, skin myself alive and jump into a swimming pool filled with lemon juice than watch this again. I wouldnt even buy this movie if it was free! NOT RECCOMENDED!
im glad it was only 4.99 seriously, sometimes i watch a movie and i think to myself "do the people involved in this project really even care how bad their work is?" or did someone order a group of people to come up with an idea for a movie and make it in a month. to say this movie is bad would be like saying rosie odonnell is kinda ugly. i wont give it the honor of the worst movie ever made, but it is irrelavent, boring, unconvincing, stupid, unstimulating, i could go on. and on. and on... look at the price tag and youll realize there is a reason that its so freaking cheap. its filmed and acted like a soft core porn movie without the sex(which would have made it bearable) DO NOT BY THIS MOVIE!!!!!! or buy it, whatever i dont care
SOMEBODY HELP ME This movie, obviously a labor of love from star/producer Catharina Conti, is one strangely crafted film. Visually, it's very beautiful with the real house, the surrounding woods and the naturally falling snow. It has a haunting ethereal balance that lends much suspense to the story. Basically, it's a two character story, starring Ms. Conti and Brennan Elliott. Now, I have to admit that it does seem long and there are some plot holes that are hard to justify. But I was extremely impressed with the acting. Ms. Conti has a vulnerability and a charm not usually seen in other actresses. She had an identity of her own; a woman still grieving over the death of her husband, unable to let him go, commenting at one point, she'd hold on until something really drastic happened. This happens when an escaped serial killer manages to worm his way into her home. Here's where Elliott comes in. His performance could have been taken overboard; after all, when you're playing multiple personalities, it's easy to go from mild to malevolent. Elliott does it convincingly, sometimes in a quiet look or an unexpected outburst. It's rare to see an actor with such smoldering sexuality bashfully peck a kiss on a woman in such a childish, adolescent way, without coming across as forced. His game of cat and mouse with Conti is suspenseful, if a little slowly dished out, but the performances are so good, I didn't mind staying with them. And in his last scene, Elliott gives one of the best speeches for a soon to be dead villain I can recall. He actually made me feel a little sorry for him. HOBB'S END is by no means a classic, but I would certainly enjoy seeing these two actors in future movies.
