The Quiet Ones is not something new or something that you never seen before and the ending proves that. But the 2 main characters make it interesting the acting isn't something special and the movie is boring for some minutes and the direction is also pretty meh. It's unoriginal and pretty horrible in terms of quality but it's a fun horror film and it even turns into a love story some time. Most of you won't enjoy it since it's something that you have seen like 50 times per year but if you're bored and you are looking for a dumb fun this one is pretty fun and at least better than most horror films that come everyday. I give it an 8.
... View MoreThe movie was better than some Indie horror flicks I've seen. But, the director/editor used a gimmick that a lot of horror films use: sudden, LOUD noise to shock the audience. So, it wasn't so much the actual movie that was scary, it was the super quiet scene interrupted by a sudden, startling noise right as something was happening that had me jumping out of my seat. It got to be quite obnoxious. Well-made horror films may use this technique once or twice in their content (or maybe not), but this film used it way too much. Also, the sound level itself is erratic. So if you watch this on DVD, expect to have to constantly have to adjust the sound or risk missing a line or blowing out your ear drums. There is one part where something manifests from the experimental subject's mouth that seemed too sophomoric and "sci-fi" to be based on fact(as is touted in the beginning credits). But the photos of the actual people at the end of the movie had me believing and checking online for the real story.
... View MoreHammer is back, and I grew up with hammer so I thought to know what I should see, pure Gothic horror with a bit of nudity, was I wrong,well if you have fast eyes there's a glimpse of nudity to spot from the two female leads. But I should have known better with the new Hammer flicks seen the last years.But this time I didn't liked it that much. Not that it was all that bad but it doesn't add anything to the paranormal genre. There aren't that many jump scenes if their are any but it's the atmosphere that makes this flick. No gore to see this time only a lot of talking going on a a movie that slowly turns in things go wrong. Not a typical Hammer like in the heydays of Hammer but a mediocre flick.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
... View MoreAlthough this film was interesting and kept us watching throughout, there were many unanswered questions and plot-holes which we'd have liked to have seen cleared up. The films 'unique' spin on the typical horror story was lacking in that it wasn't original at all - we've seen it all before. Not enough 'scary' parts to keep your mind occupied, either. Although there were a few token jump-scares, the film focused mainly on the plot, which was quite disappointing as the plot itself was lackluster. Maybe I missed an important plot point (Although I was watching avidly throughout to try and figure out the plot before the twist happened) but the film just didn't fit together as seamlessly as I would have liked, and that's why it's better than a three... but only one point better.
