Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Cortechba Overrated

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

cristiek4 Well, Dean Cain, man....please don't ever appear in a film this crappy again. You were the only bright spot in it but you don't need to dumb down your acting resume with this kind of junk. The rest of the acting is pretty poor and I am always willing to give the benefit of the doubt...well, almost always but not in this case. I am supremely disappointed. I really hope the rest of the folks in this movie get a chance for some acting lessons. It would benefit them in their future endeavors and save people watching movies the agony of going through this...I wish I could say some kinder words about this movie but there just aren't any.

lmt_is_me This movie was your typical horror movie but worse. Let's start off with the actors who were chosen for this movie. Are we to accept these people are actually high school students? Next, let's talk about the music. Music is important to a movie. At times, the music made the dialogue hard to hear. The scene at the hospital was just strange. If someone is out of it like that, they don't haul them off to the police. I know I am over- analyzing things but sheesh don't directors want people to buy into a movie? Why was the hospital so yellowish-green?The wife in the movie goes from having normal looking eyes to eyes that have dark circles and back again. Why would that be? As one progresses into possession, I thought you would deteriorate. Guess I have seen to many possessed people.

jon-stokes21-539-17875 This movie is pretty bad. In fact the whole presentation of the movie was horrible, it had an appearance that it was shot with an amateur video camera bought at Target. I do not recommend this movie to anyone I have a favorable opinion of.As for Spear Seven, I know the movie was bad but did you seriously have time to attempt to count how many "black women were in the movie"? It must be pretty tough looking through your racist eyes when the only thing you notice when you look at a person is the color of their skin! The color of ones skin doesn't matter to most people so when developers get together to make a film such as this they don't grab a check list to make sure they have a person from every ethnic background acting in the movie. In fact if you had half a brain you would have noticed PLENTY of African American people were involved in the making of this movie!!! I bet you're not complaining about having a BET channel where white people only seldom make an appearance at all? You probably don't complain about shows like Family Matters with no white people!!! No you're only concerned about your race because again because your only concerned with the appearance color of ones skin! You ma'am need to stop being racists, its getting really old and I only read one of your posts!

Paul Magne Haakonsen While there are far better and worse possession movies out there, then "The Appearing" really didn't bring anything new to the genre, nor did it manage to differentiate itself from many other movies in the genre.The storyline was easy to follow, perhaps a bit too simple at times, but it was weighed down by the fact that the movie never really got up into gear and left its mediocre pace in its wake.The acting in the movie was wooden at best, and there weren't really any particular performances that stood out in any way. There was an shadow cast over the entire movie, from what appeared to be a fact that people weren't really putting their souls and wholeheartedly efforts into this movie.The effects were actually adequate, as were the storyline of the movie. Well, don't go and expect multi-million dollar effects here though, but the effects were used to good extend and did their jobs well enough.If it was deliberate that there were absolutely no chemistry between Rachel (played by Emily Brooks) and Michael (played by Will Wallace), then director Daric Gates did a good job, because there were absolutely no on-screen chemistry between these two at all. It does put a notion into the mind though; was it because the characters were growing apart and becoming estranged because of the death of their daughter, or if it was because of the lack of talent of the actors, well...For a horror / thriller movie, then "The Appearing" was frightfully devoid of anything even remotely scary or shocking.
