Abbey Grace

The dog was the best actor in the movie, which probably explains why the first 20 minutes of the film was focused on the dog itself.... 2 stars just for effort but truthfully everything about this movie is just plain stupid and saturated in contrived pretension..

Have no idea what those one star guys were watching. It wasn't the best movie ever but it was a good haunted house movie that I could watch with my kids. The acting was mostly pretty good. Stacey and the dog were great, I liked the male lead, my wife not so much. Also really like the flashback Abbey Grace scenes.

The first five minutes of this almost seem as if an actual movie is starting. Unfortunately, such is not the case. The plot involves a vengeful ghost and a man who "can't" leave the house mostly out of fear of germs. Another reviewer mentioned "effects", but I don't see any here. Well, the layered voice of the possessed, maybe, as an audio effect, but irritating beyond words.

Watch closely in hilarity as the actors and even the dog slip and do missteps throughout. It has the feel of watching an elementary school play. There is not the slightest sense of suspense or horror at all, only unexpected giggles.

In fact, the "vicious" dog actually looks as if he was either thrown down the stairs from an unseen stagehand or, as suggested in another scene, the area was so slippery the dog bashed his head straight down into the floor while running and slipping before a brief recovery. They actually left this in.

Then there is the bizarre anticlimactic line regarding "so this is what you were up to while I was possessed". Such deadpan humor. Too bad the rest is not that quirky.

Still, just try to hold a straight face without bursting out in giggles every few minutes. I dare you.

Better yet, have a small drink every time Ben sanitizes his hands and you will be out cold before it is halfway over.

Despite the fact that I had never even heard about this 2016 horror movie titled "Abbey Grace", my love of the horror genre made me sit down and watch the movie, without knowing what I was getting myself into. Initially, I picked the movie up given the movie's cover.

Writers David Dittlinger and Stephen Durham put together a straightforward script, though it was somewhat on the bland side. There just wasn't enough of scary things happening throughout the course of the movie. And that made sitting through "Abbey Grace" feel like sitting through a film school project. Sure, the right intentions were there, but the movie just wasn't particularly entertaining or scary.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. It was a pretty small cast ensemble, but I will say that the acting performance were actually fair, not great, but fair.

Visually then you're not in for anything great here, as the movie didn't really make use of special effects. There were a couple of attempts at jump-scares throughout the course of the 83 minutes that the movie ran for, but that was about it.

In fact, the movie's cover over-sold the movie by a landslide. Yeah, the cover was actually far more impressive than the contents of the actual movie turned out to be.

My rating of director Stephen Durham's 2016 movie "Abbey Grace" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

This was probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my short life... First off the acting is so bad it was the only thing that kept me interested. They might as well have had scripts in front of them, reading off a piece of paper. Seriously guys, there is little to no plot and things happen throughout the movie that are never explained. Confusing and awful. I usually don't write reviews on movies because I usually don't care enough to, but this movie was so terrible I was absolutely amazed. Speechless in fact. Lol you can watch this if you want but it would be and enormous waste of time. There was one guy who was supposed to have and accent of some sort but it was so bad i couldn't tell if it was a native African accent or a Russian accent. At one point he sounded Irish I swear... The camera work was the only good part about the whole movie. Whoever was behind the camera shots those were good. Then there were some scenes that were obviously put in the movie just to take up space. Like they didn't even make sense. This movie was just very confusing and ridiculous Lol.
