I consider myself a pretty good movie buff, meaning, it's never too hard to understand a film, however, this was not one of them. sure, I get supernatural, and manifestations of the mind, and I too get how using powerful drugs can alter your state of mind. but let me say, this made no sense real or unreal. first off, who are the people in the videos, her family? or ? to top that off, who were the missing people toward the end, and, yes there us a lot of ands. why did a priest come over to Molly's house and go down on her, and who was the supernatural figment awaiting her at the end of the sidewalk, and, who did her sister see to be holding out her hand at the top of the stairs to, and finally, what did her husband have to do with any of this? the only real thing I can say, is the acting performances were believable, other than that a no nonsense film. when viewing a film, there should always be an introduction , don't just throw us in the water and we went given the opportunity to take swim lessons, so to speak. I had to guess throughout the movie, and still don't know who was who. they just thru a random family on the screen and we had to guess from beginning to end, and after.

Sad and bleak best describes Lovely Molly. About half way through I realised there was not going to be a happy ending here, and I was right. The music is especially melancholic, painfully so, and perfectly pitched to what's happening on screen.Does the bleakness ruin the movie? Not at all. For me, Lovely Molly was about the damage abuse does to children. It should be sad and bleak.Lovely Molly isn't particularly scary, although it probably still classifies as a horror film, given the ending. It reminds me a lot of The Babadook, which also has a female lead who is undergoing massive psychological stress. (Both films have fantastic female leads too.) The Babadook is much scarier, but Lovely Molly will linger far longer because of its tragic back story.Incidentally, there's a lot of nudity in this film. One could perceive this as gratuitous, but the heavy context around it (i.e. child abuse) makes it difficult to view it in an erotic way. Maybe this is the point.

I'm not going to say it's a bad movie. It's a good movie to watch once but that's about it. There is definitely some suspense and some mild horror scenes but overall I was a bit disappointed by the end of the story. It could have been better, but it could have been worse as well. The actors were not bad at all. In fact they all did a good job with their respective roles. I would just have liked some more explanation at the end and eventually a bit more scary scenes in the middle. The last week I saw a lot of so called "horror" movies that are not really qualified to be called horror. This one is, and I was pleased that for once they categorize it correctly.

The typical 5-minute Bugs Bunny cartoon has more plot than the entire 100 minutes of this dull nonsense. Molly this, Molly that, Molly Molly Molly! If I never hear the name "Molly" again I would hardly complain.LM is like one long inferno of torture and abuse – and by that I mean the psychological damage that this piece of crap inflicts on anyone foolish or unlucky enough to venture anywhere close to this presumably straight-to-video crap. 100 minutes of the same thing over and over: Molly sees ghost, Molly screams, Molly takes comfort in drugs, Molly gets raped by ghost, Molly sees ghost, Molly wants sex, Molly gets sex, Molly is depressed, Molly takes drugs, this that and the other. It becomes tiresome very quickly, but the monotony is relentless: the plot refuses to budge an inch - it is like a fat lazy dumb slug drooling all over a wet field. The story gets stuck in a haunted-house rut and doesn't develop at all, for what surely must be weeks. (Does this movie last for several weeks? I'll have to check the running time, it's possible.) Every 5 hours there is a tiny plot-point or something of vague interest. What there is plenty of, however, is Gretchen Lodge overacting her sweet buns off. This script is a dream-come-true, a real haven for any actress who indulges in the animated drama-queen "method". Gretchen cries hysterically, shouts, pouts, broods about 8000 times, and by the time the movie goes into its second half the whole mess becomes frankly unbearable. Gretchen is cute and tries her best (HER best, mind you), but by the time the name Molly is mentioned for the 105,048th time, I was already rooting for the ghost, hoping he'd simply massacre everyone and end this prolongued misery of a B-movie turkey. Not that it's even clear who or what the ghost was in this muddled script.Could this be the first movie with a horse as a serial-killer? Once the plot finally started moving quicker than a boozed-up slug, I had a different problem: confusing plot-twists. Once you get to the last 15 minutes, you'll wish LM was still "just" dull, because absolutely nothing makes sense in LM's cop-out "conclusion". So was Molly molly-ested by a horse? Was her real father a horse? Was she molested by a horse when she was a child while her father stood by and did nothing? Did her father train a horse to molest her? What purpose did her husband's adultery serve this ghost story? Why did she kill the priest? Is it because she thought he had a face like a horse – or was it because he was hung like one? Did she also kill the little girl? Was it the insane Molly AND the ghost killing off people as a tag-team? Randomly picking victims? Does Molly have an I.Q. lower than 50? LM was written by an imbecile – for slugs and other non-thinking creatures.In the end, nothing is resolved. Instead, piles of confusion are added one atop another. Molly gets possessed, Molly suffers and Molly eventually loses the battle. The ghost wins. The message? The point? Perhaps this: if you're a parent who sexually molests his child, you will be REWARDED in the after-life by getting to RE-NEW your sexual hostility as a ghost, and will in fact go unpunished because priests are on vacation and God isn't interested. Look, I'm an atheist, so this whole good-vs-evil Bible nonsense makes no sense to me anyway, but there has to be some measure of logic even in supernatural horror flicks, otherwise any moron (this horses**t writer) could write anything he wants to (this movie) and get away with it (were it not for my reviews).LM is so bad, I'd rather have seen a dumb sex-romp called "Lovely Molly Makes a Porn Film" with Ron Jeremy in the director's chair. It's THAT bad.
