This film went places i did not expect it to go. It seemed typical on the surface, but really wasn't. As well, the over all ambiance and tone of the film was very creepy, well made. The acting was great for a horror film ( i know that sounds strange, but I have come to expect horrible acting in horror films) The cinematography was nice, a little to hand held for me at times, but that seems to be to "go to" aesthetic for horror films, well films in general these days. It worked in parts, but when things settled it did get a bit annoying. Nevertheless, the film flowed well kept me intrigued and ended a bit abruptly, but the TWIST i never saw coming. Left a definite impression.

The critiques here seem a bit lopsided. I saw this film sometime back at a screening a friend invited me to. I did not know the filmmakers personally, but I liked the film. I heard that they released film was a "different" cut from what I saw so I checked it out again and actually liked this cut better. I thought it was a strong effort the first time especially for a first time feature film director and a very interesting low budget horror film to boot. The acting was not bad, especially for a genre film. Madeline Zima's character, at times, could be a bit drab, but there were reasons for that in the story and she pulled it off. The characters surrounding her were well performed and not over the top as you see quite a bit in horror films. The scares were plenty, but not so many that you know one is around every corner. Now DIMPLES is was not the best film I ever seen by any means, but it was solid low budget fare at the very least. Some parts I felt more explanation was needed,but I did not see the twist coming and the ending (very untypical for horror) left me thinking about it for days. Some of the low grades and harsh comments here seem to have an ax to grind. I alway find it amusing when a film is bashed by someone who only has that one comment in their comment history. Plus when they attack with seathing relentlessness. At least that is what I feel. Now, let me repeat Dimples is not an award winner by any means, but is not a total stinker either. I am a filmmaker myself and I hate to see decent efforts get unfairly trashed...Now if you one a gore fest with no thinking involved, you wont like Dimples. But if you want a bit on the mind, I think you will...Cheers!

This is definitely the worst horror-movie I have ever seen! Absolutely dreadful acting, I'm actually embarrassed on the actors behalf to think that any actor would sink so low as to allow this shoot to be shown to the rest of the world.

I only recognized two or more actors from earlier. You would think that previous acting would've counted for something but it really doesn't apply for this movie. At all.

Believe me, I saw this movie all the way from the beginning till it's end and I actually gave it a shot due to earlier horror movies I've watched that turned out to be better than predicted. I've seen A lot of movies in every genre and I can safely guarantee that you can trust my word when I say that this movie is a total waste of time.

To sum it all up: The storyline is unoriginal from every aspect, pretty damn mainstream, seen it all before. The actors were very vague and uninteresting, lousy acting and their lines didn't actually help. Those lines could just as well have been written by a 10 year old, that's how bad they were. Every scene was badly thought through, and the balance between the duration of the various scenes were set all wrong and gave the wrong effect and impression for the entire movie.

If I were to choose something even barely tolerable about the movie, then it would be the person behind the camera. Did a bang up job with the filming of some scenes, but unfortunately was the effort overshadowed by remaining lousiness of this "made-outta-pocket-o-pennies"-budget movie.

Final words/Words of caution: Stay clear! To put my opinion in another way; Ever seen Hatchet? Well, Hatchet was better, and that was a lousy movie...! Exactly. Now imagine how bad this movie is...

"Dimples" is a very creepy movie and that's why I like it. This movie is well thought and well written. The actors were perfectly chosen for the film. In case you haven't noticed, most of them have been acting since they were kids. They all did a great job.

I especially love the actress (Summer Davis) that played the little girl. She was really good! Her acting is a lot better than the girl from the "Ring."

"Dimples" is pretty creepy himself. He's scarier than all of those characters like Freddy and Jason. I will definitely buy this movie. This movie is meant to be seen over and over again, especially on Halloween.

I agree with some of the comments about this movie. The film is full of clichés and bad acting. At moments the plot and the acting of the actors are so illogical and just ridiculous. Some moments I believe were meant to be very psychological, strong and powerful. Instead they are naive, boring and amateur. The movie bears resemblance to a great horror flicks from the 70's like " The Texas chainsaw massacre" , "Tourist trap" , "Hills have eyes" , etc... Well very obviously this is another unsuccessful attempt to make a scary movie, and today's ran-out-of-ideas horror directors are hoping that the 70's horror movies golden mine can be always used. Sorry guys but it's not working!
