I think its pretty sad that this movie didnt do so well with the overall audience. The movie had a very short life span on VHS and was quickly taken off the shelves everywhere it had been released (US,canada and UK) I think that Is a shame, Its nearly impossible to find for rent and you cant buy it anywhere it seems, not even ebay. anyway moving on to my thoughts on the movie.... Well, I caught it from around the middle (where the mother gets all crazy on the guy near the water and walks off) so i probably missed alot, but from what i did see It was reall really good. It had a pretty unique storyline in my opinion, wasnt really a horror film like for ex halloween or that stuff, it was a phychodrama thriller, and a damn good one. It was a low budget film but not quite a B film. The quality was good and it had at least 3 fairly well-known actors, and it had minimal unnecicary gore (unlike some crappy films) I would definately buy it if it were available, and itys worth the time that it runs to watch it, I'd like to see rauchine's character (margaret langrick) in some newer movies, but it seems that this was her last one she did. It really is a crying shame this isnt more well known and isnt available anymore, but anyway it is a really good movie and I'd love to see it again all the way.

I caught this film about 30 mins into it. I have to say it captured me right away and I couldn't stop watching. I disagree with some of the comments of people who say it had no plot, clearly they were not watching the film!!! To be honest it had a very disturbing storyline that somehow managed to draw you into the film in a rather uncomfortable way. I would go as far to say as you may have felt unpleasant whilst watching the film due to its disturbing screenplay. Whilst never feeling actually scared it seemed all too believable for me and made me feel somewhat uncomfortable and unsafe, a feeling I do not feel happy with. If the intent of this film was to disturb it did so well and this is a credit to the acting skills of all involved, who made this film seem like sick a documentary rather than a film.I would not recommend seeing this film as it is rather disturbing and all too real, however I must commend it as a milestone in cinematography.

How do I love this movie? Let me count the ways. OK. I'm done counting. I can count the ways I love this movie on fewer than the fingers of one hand. In fact, I wouldn't even need one finger. Not unless I was using my middle finger.This is the type of movie where you root for the young lover-wannabes to NOT get together at the end. This is the type of movie where you root for the entire cast of characters to die in the end. And speaking of root, this is the type of movie that gives undergoing a root canal a good name. That's what I wish I'd been doing instead of watching this movie---undergoing a root canal.One really has to wonder how this film got by the Canadian Board of Tourism. Not to mention the Province of Nova Scotia's Chamber of Commerce. That's where it takes place. ("Come visit beautiful Nova Scotia. You, too, can act like an idiot!") The plot? Why bother? When every character in a movie can't get a clue, ESPECIALLY the two young lovers, then any alleged plot becomes meaningless. The best ending for this movie would have been for all of its characters, in one mass group-in, to have thrown themselves into the Atlantic Ocean from atop the rocky Nova Scotian cliffs. And to have taken the director (Curtis Radclyffe) with them! That, finally, would have been the first thing about this movie to make any sense."Sweet Angel Mine." Never judge a movie by its title. I did. And because I did, I wasted nearly two hours of my lifetime. That's two lost hours that can never be reclaimed. A root canal, at least, when it's all over, turns out to have been worthwhile time well spent.

Despite some stylish direction, this is a pretty dreadful "thriller" about a possessive mom, her innocent daughter, and the young man who invades their lives and uncovers their dark family secrets. If you've seen "Psycho", you should be able to foresee this film's "shocking" plot twist about an hour before it's revealed. There's some really lame plot contrivances and the characters have to do some pretty stupid things in order for this story to reach its ludicrous finale. While the movie does have a few gory "shocks" at the end, it moves at a snail's pace and tells a story that is all too familiar and none too compelling.
