ShangLuda Admirable film.

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

hellholehorror This started off as quite an interesting chiller. It sort of changed and then became really confused. Not confusing as I was switched on and concentrating, it was confused. It stopped adding up if you thought about it in the slightest detail. The idea was interesting. It was let down by poor logic and lack of anything believable. It was like all of the people were murderers about a year ago. The ending didn't really make sense although the very final bit was pretty cool and interesting. Make no effort to see this as it is lacking although the odd chilling moments and early potential can be enjoyed.

Coventry This movie badly suffers from the M. Night Shyamalan syndrome, meaning that writer Sheldon Wilson desperately tries to be SO mysterious, SO ambitious and SO convoluted that, when the climax eventually approaches and the time has arrived to finally come up with some adequate explanations, the script can't possibly provide any more surprise twists or revelations that are strong enough to live up to the expectations that got built up. "Shallow Ground" isn't too bad, but it tries to be too much. The construction of a nearby dam has finished since a few weeks now, and almost the entire town of Shallow something is preparing to move out and start a new life elsewhere. The local police force as well nearly finished packing up everything in boxes when suddenly a young box walks into the station, entirely covered in blood. The kid won't stop bleeding the blood of at least three different dead persons; his fingerprints match those of multiple missing persons and he inconspicuously covers the walls with macabre messages like "No One Leaves". He appears to be a supernatural entity, the hybrid of several restless souls and unsolved murder cases that combined their strength to return from the dead and help the local authorities solving the mystery. Okay, so we've got a fairly original premise, a thoroughly moody atmosphere and literally gallons worth of blood (though very little on screen massacres). Then what went wrong and why isn't "Shallow Ground" ranked among the finest hidden horror gems of recent years? Well, partly because it was poorly promoted upon its release, but mostly because the film is incoherent as hell and ultimately fails to deliver. Besides, the basic plot outline may sound potentially fascinating but the story loses at lot of its impact very fast. "Shallow Ground" halfway suddenly swifts from being a supernatural mystery to an ordinary serial killer movie, and not exactly a very plausible or original one, I may add. Also, it's never good for a horror film to raise more questions than it can answer. But there are several positive remarks to make as well. "Shallow Ground" is a low-budget film, but it's nicely photographed and benefits from great make-up effects as well as competent acting performances.

fatherboone This movie does not make a damn bit of sense from the beginning. What starts as a somewhat creepy mystery changes quickly to a "divine intervention" theme, and it's just awful. So the old lady killed a bunch of people? Who was the guy in the blue? Why are the dead speaking to us? The film never answers these questions, and I can't even begin to describe how awkward the plot is. Rottentomatoes gave this movie an 80%, but I am warning you...do not see this movie. A clever horror that actually makes sense is what you want. The Ring, The Sixth Sense, Vacancy; all these are good horror movies. But do NOT rent this piece of crap. Just take my word for it.

Janette_Smith I think I did included a couple of spoiler, but I didn't want to get blacklisted, so I said yes just to be sure. Anyway, Timothy V. Murphy is this movie's only redeeming quality (basically because he is hot looking, he's got that Irish brogue working for him, too). First I gave it a 3, but I just finished watching it and I had to change that to a 1. It was stupid. It did start out very promising, but quickly took a big turn for the garbage can. I admit my attention started to wander and if I had not done so I might have been able to figure out what was bloody (pardon the pun) going on. And what the h@## was that at the end. Well, it did have a couple of good ideas, like the kid's fingerprints and the pictures collectively composing the kid. Excellent bloody people for special effects, as well. Oh, yeah, it did have Patty McCormack from 'The Bad Seed' (she so rocked in that movie). But all in all, please don't ever make me watch it again.
