Besetment Audience Reviews

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Boristhemoggy OK good points, the premise of the story is good, Marlyn Mason is actually not bad at all, Abby Wathen isn't too bad really, butt hat's it. The screenplay is dire, my guess is some high school film students could do better with a £150 video camera and a week to plan a movie. The photography is dire with poor lighting and exposure, angles etc. The direction is erm...missing. lol This is a perfect movie if you have a first date and want to make sure that date focuses on you because they are going to spend only 5 minutes before realising what rubbish this is.
Daman-Malone Reading some peoples reviews on this is pitiful. The story is solid, acting is good the camera work could be better (seeing camera man in window of Sheriff Joe's Jeep outside the restaurant), sound is ok. Over all it's a good film, not every movie needs to be on a super explosive Hollywood budget. Like many die hard horror fans, we will watch good, bad and really bad and somewhere in-between each of those is the "it's not bad but not good either". This movie is certainly not an edge of a seat sitter or splatter/slasher flick but it does tell a good story and it shows some good acting by leads.
a_baron Most horror films dehumanise men, regardless of the sex of the victims; this one has a female villain, and it doesn't work any better. Amanda is out of work and desperately seeking to get away from her alcoholic mother. Out of the blue she lands a job that is not really commuting distance, so it is agreed she will stay over during the week. It entails working at a small hotel in the middle of nowhere, one that doesn't appear to have any guests, and is run by a matronly old woman, and her son who although not an imbecile is totally under his mother's thumb.Three weeks or so into her tenure, Amanda receives some startling news: she is pregnant. This is startling indeed because she has not had sex, like ever. Difficult to believe in this day and age outside of an Amish, Moslem or Orthodox Jewish sect. So how did she get pregnant? The flashback is, well, grotesque, and that's without the incest. The woman who runs the hotel is clearly as mad as a box of frogs if she thinks she can get away with what she plans.There would have been a relatively happy ending, but they had to go and spoilt it. Don't watch this one if you are easily disturbed; stick to films that won't give you nightmares, like those about zombies and vampires.
Ross Little Medium shot, close up, medium shot, close up, medium shot, close up, long shot, medium shot, break the 180 degree rule, long shot....Total rubbish. Story is drivel. Acting is awful. Characters aren't in any way shape or form believable. Totally totally pointless and bland.Don't even bother..... really don't...
