No stars for this movie. Bad acting, music sux. Not entertaining. Maybe if your over 70 years old and can't have any excitement in your life, then this is the movie for you. Lol at the "scary" scene. Yep I said it, "scene". Only 1 scene that attempts to scare, and it fails. The movie is a big floppy failure. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to have to sit through this movie. Wardrobe was like looking in your grandparents closet. Eww. Whoever wrote this obviously has no creative gene in their body. If any one finds this movie interesting in the least bit, then you need to get out more. I should have known by the title that this movie was going to be stupid. You got my 4 bucks, but i know to never watch anything that even remotely involves "Evan (director)" whats his face.

I was pleasantly surprised with this film, as its 4.4 rating isn't too hot. The characters at first annoyed me slightly, but I was intrigued as I could feel something building up. In fact the main character is rather odd but there may be a reason for that as the story unfolds. I would describe this film as a thriller with some psychology thrown in. It soon becomes apparent that there is more to this than just a trip to the family farm, and it will keep you gripped.As the film unfolds some odd things become clear and its not clever but somehow very enjoyable.Persist with it and you will enjoy, there isn't a huge cast but there doesn't need to beI quite liked it and its better than its rating at the moment.

Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I love indie films. but one of the requirements of a good film is a plot. This movie has almost none. The building of the suspense was very well done, but there was absolutely no explanation for where the movie ended up. You sit through 80 minutes of slow moving, so-so dialog to be rewarded with an ending utterly confusing and abrupt. An extra five minutes would have been sufficient to tie everything together, instead we are left in the dark as to how everything relates. The scenery in the movie was quite nice, but thats about where the good points end. I wouldn't recommend this movie to people I don't like, much less anyone else.

I attended the New York City premiere of this film the other night. To put it simply, this was an absolutely intriguing work of cinematic achievement! The fact that this was the debut of writer and director Evan Meszaros is even more astonishing! Indeed, this is an auspicious beginning to what will surely be a highly successful career in cinema. Meszaros offers a fresh vision and voice to the medium that has been lacking in modern times. I greatly anticipate more thought-provoking, entertaining work that will undoubtedly ensue from this filmmaker.The performances from the actors were brilliant and awe-inspiring! Monica Knight, who plays Mindy, delivers a superlative performance while masterfully conveying the subtle and unspoken torment that lies under the surface waiting to rear its ugly head at any moment. Indeed, from her very first appearance, Knight brilliantly imparts the unsettling nature of the family and farm, Windcroft, with her adroit utilization of mere mannerisms. It is an absolutely skillful performance that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats before ever truly knowing why.The part of the female protagonist , Diane, is played by Vanessa Daniels. Daniels is perfect as the unwitting victim unsuspectingly brought into a web of horror and deceit that has spanned generations. Her ingenious ability to convey innocence and good-hearted naivety is a magnificent contrast to the darker elements of the film. This is truly a heart-wrenching performance that will unquestionably usurp the heart of any audience!It is not surprising to learn of the numerous awards that have been bestowed upon this film. Windcroft was named the Best Picture by the Fright Night Film Festival where it also won Best Director, for Evan Meszaros, and Best Actress, for Monica Knight. The Salento Film Festival also awarded Monica Knight with Best Actress while acknowledging the film as having Best Cinematography. Moreover, the Tenerife International Film Festival named Evan Meszaros Best Director while nominating the film for various other awards.In short, it was a very inspiring evening. I will definitely purchase this film as soon as it is released on DVD. In the meantime, if anyone knows of any other projects this director has done or is working on, please let me know. Thanks!Anthony
