I'm not a pro at reviewing movies & I checked the spoiler box just in case I give something away. I liked this movie. I "bought" it online at AmazonPrime & I also finally was able to buy a copy online. I know some of the actors in it and I thought they did a great job. I thought the storyline was very interesting. I could follow it along and it made sense. It creeped me out. There are many versions of the Black Dahlia out there and this one was different. The brother kills his parents & his doctor tracks down his sister to try & get info. I don't want tot give away the rest of it so I say go see it. The only thing I thought could have made it better was if it was longer and they drew out the story more. I loved the blood & gore & the story. I thought these people did a great job making this movie.
... View MoreWhat a different twist to an old news story!.. I have had the pleasure of meeting Britt Griffith (Dr. Brian Owen) on several occasions and all I can say is I will have to look at him in a whole new light.. For the most part I like this movie, it was kind of slow paced in a few places. And I have to ask if anyone knows the significance of Dr. Brian Owen playing with his wedding ring and then taking it off? Also with the man named Malcolm (Brandon Slagle) who found the knife that I guess killed Elizabeth Short, was a little confusing to me. I do know that I own this movie now so I will be able to go back and re-watch it to maybe see if I missed something. Good job Britt on your first acting adventure!
... View MoreI had the opportunity to watch 'The Black Dahlia Haunting' at PollyGrind Film Festival. There was great acting from the entire cast! Brandon Slagle did an excellent job as Writer/Director. He did a great job playing the character role of Malcolm as well. Devanny Pinn did an excellent job as lead Actress. She was amazing playing the character role of Holly Jenson. The shower and desert scenes were great. There was really cool shots and editing. I recommend this movie to anyone that is looking to watch a great crime horror mystery! I thought Halloween would be a great time to review this movie. I rate a 9 out of 10.

I had the pleasure of seeing a screening of the film in Sacramento, CA and I think I've told everyone I have seen about it. I'm not a fan of most horror, mainly because it's all pretty much been done before. I like blood, just not senseless blood and guts. I like the supernatural, if it's done right. With that being said, I really enjoyed this film. It brought both of these elements together in a perfect blend, blood and the supernatural. If you are going in expecting the same old crime drama/horror movie, think again. It was fresh, dark and had some bloody scenes, but nothing too gory. However, this film is probably not for the squeamish. It is great to see such a change from the remakes that are out there now. I also dislike when I go into a suspenseful movie that is full of "twists", but you know how it's going to end in the first five minutes. That is not the case with The Black Dahlia Haunting, it kept me guessing all the way to the end. Devanny Pinn had a challenging roll, but she was able to make you feel for her character. As another reviewer wrote, "Britt Griffith made my skin crawl", and that he did. The cast and director, Brandon Slagle gave depth and life to the characters. I look forward to their next project!
