These Streets We Haunt

..although it drags a bit (so give it a try if you're awake enough) Spooky story and surprising end, so dont read any spoilers first (non here yet, 3 reviews so far)

I like to watch underdog/independant movies, but am no expert on the procedure/problems new film makers face. I liked this one (and might watch one or 2 of the writers others) but just as a viewer please allow me to say that the story seemed to be too complicated, a bit unnecessarily cruel and gory, longer than necessary (books get ruthlessly straightened if too long,right?), and the pace was a bit too slow (why such slow music, long pauses etc) Somehow/ at some point (not always) I had the impression the (very) good actors were burdened with the text and story they had to plod along with.

Despite another review I read, this film in no way resembles MORTAL INSTRUMENTS except that extraordinarily gifted individuals fight evil influences! This film was well scripted, directed & produced as well as carried by a talented group of actors! This story made me "forget" I was watching a movie & I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Unlike anything I've viewed before this scenario was new (& I've viewed thousands of films). I think considering ALL criteria t his film is underrated & underappreciated! Give it a chance & enjoy!

I was expecting a movie about the supernatural and other dark topics, what I got was a deeper film about love, loneliness, job issues and a lot of other stuff that's being talked about today.

Beyond the strange and almost unrelated title, These Streets We Haunt offers something for everyone. Matt Williams and Lauren Perez are very good in the main roles, while the rest of the cast are mostly caricatures but work well in the lighter moments.

Overall, more movies (especially big budget ones) should try what this film did: get different genres and remix them together to surprise watchers.

These Streets We Haunt succeeds because it keeps the story interesting until the end, even if some scenes aren't very well filmed and acting is hit and miss (the villians, for example, aren't very convincing).

Enjoyed this, nice laid back style, believable until it gets weird. Shame about the very last scene which really doesn't fit at all.

This was a wonderful story. The only problem that I had was the weak special fx. Other than that, the movie was so good that I would waych again with a friend.
