OK, first of i felt like writing an hour and a half worth of complaints about this movie, as a payback for the loss of time it caused me...But then i realized it wasn't worth the trouble, not that i would run out of arguments to describe how bad it is.Low budget, OK... But in this movie, the budget is far to be the only thing that's low.Possibly the worst movie ever made, no plot, mediocre acting, constant nonsense, minimalistic dialogs and the list goes on and on. Though the biggest frustration has to be the awful attempt at making it worth the watch with the ''final twist'' which has been done over and over before.I have seen it all, and by that i mean the movie i didn't seen is not out yet.This being said, save yourself the trouble (and the pain) and simply do something else, anything is better than watching this really.As for comparing the acting with movies such as ''The Ring''... Come on let's be serious for a second there... There is no way this pathetic attempt at horror cinema can be compared to such a masterpiece.I watched the first 44 minutes thinking what the hell is up with this, waiting for something to happen even though i was already falling half asleep and pretty much got the point. Then i came on here out of boredom and annoyance to check user reviews and oh god... All those comments stating how amazing this movie is, i couldn't believe it...Then i saw the ''Keep away'' comments so i wanted to watch the end out of curiosity and yes, it definitely is an insult to the horror movie community. I actually had to register to make sure nobody else would get fooled.As a previous poster said, i rated it 1 because there is nothing under. This would deserve to go way below.Regards.

This film went places i did not expect it to go. It seemed typical on the surface, but really wasn't. As well, the over all ambiance and tone of the film was very creepy, well made. The acting was great for a horror film ( i know that sounds strange, but I have come to expect horrible acting in horror films) The cinematography was nice, a little to hand held for me at times, but that seems to be to "go to" aesthetic for horror films, well films in general these days. It worked in parts, but when things settled it did get a bit annoying. Nevertheless, the film flowed well kept me intrigued and ended a bit abruptly, but the TWIST i never saw coming. Left a definite impression.

The critiques here seem a bit lopsided. I saw this film sometime back at a screening a friend invited me to. I did not know the filmmakers personally, but I liked the film. I heard that they released film was a "different" cut from what I saw so I checked it out again and actually liked this cut better. I thought it was a strong effort the first time especially for a first time feature film director and a very interesting low budget horror film to boot. The acting was not bad, especially for a genre film. Madeline Zima's character, at times, could be a bit drab, but there were reasons for that in the story and she pulled it off. The characters surrounding her were well performed and not over the top as you see quite a bit in horror films. The scares were plenty, but not so many that you know one is around every corner. Now DIMPLES is was not the best film I ever seen by any means, but it was solid low budget fare at the very least. Some parts I felt more explanation was needed,but I did not see the twist coming and the ending (very untypical for horror) left me thinking about it for days. Some of the low grades and harsh comments here seem to have an ax to grind. I alway find it amusing when a film is bashed by someone who only has that one comment in their comment history. Plus when they attack with seathing relentlessness. At least that is what I feel. Now, let me repeat Dimples is not an award winner by any means, but is not a total stinker either. I am a filmmaker myself and I hate to see decent efforts get unfairly trashed...Now if you one a gore fest with no thinking involved, you wont like Dimples. But if you want a bit on the mind, I think you will...Cheers!

"Dimples" is a very creepy movie and that's why I like it. This movie is well thought and well written. The actors were perfectly chosen for the film. In case you haven't noticed, most of them have been acting since they were kids. They all did a great job. I especially love the actress (Summer Davis) that played the little girl. She was really good! Her acting is a lot better than the girl from the "Ring." "Dimples" is pretty creepy himself. He's scarier than all of those characters like Freddy and Jason. I will definitely buy this movie. This movie is meant to be seen over and over again, especially on Halloween.
