Matriarch

Very disturbing at times! More of a chilling thriller than horror. I cried at the end and I rarely cry at movies.

It's not a movie for new Moms!!!! Had some twists and turns that I did not see coming. I watched it because someone said it was like Wolf Creek - this is much much much better!

Wasn't expecting much but thought I'd give it a go. Great indie movie - nice change from a lot of the generic stuff in its category. Go watch.

I enjoyed this movie all the way through. Amazing acting and some uncomfortable scenes mixed in with some very tense moments. Worth a watch.

And it does it not badly for a low budget movie. People seem to forget you should be reviewing the movie on its merits based on the budget and the acting and contrary to other reviewers i thought the two main actors were very good but Julie Hannan made the movie for me, she played the part perfectly.

Its a shame the director, producers, cast members had to fill the first 10 or so reviews with 10/10 shill reviews when all those accounts were created at the same time and have only one review its so transparent and its not needed as the movie is well above your average rubbish horror fare this year.

It does evoke the old Hammer House Of Horror feel and being as it is set in my home country of Scotland it offers something a little bit different. Yes some of the Scottish actors were a bit pants but good for a laugh especially the two "wallopers" in the tent scene.

Overall its better than it should be but its nowhere near more than 6/10 but its also not a 2 or 3 which is very unfair I think when this movie trumps most of the low budgeters that have come out of the USA this year and the UK English horror efforts!

Better than average 6 out of 10 for me!

If you read through the review there is just a TON of super great reviews. I generally like to compare the reviews here with Rotten Tomatoes. This film gets a 5.8 there, so not so dissimilar. HOWEVER, I just suspect those great reviews on IMDB are fake.

There is no way this movie is a 9 or 10.

That said, for a low budget flick, it's not a 1 or a 2 either.

The film definitely captures your interest early on, in a creepy sort of way.

It's a slow moving movie, but it was intriguing. Well writen and more than decent directing. The acting was very good too. Most low budget films these days are horrendous in everyway. This writer/director shows promise.

So the movie gets creepier as it goes on and you're not sure where this is heading. But it has interesting touches.

Some reviews said it was like Wolf Creek. Nope. Not in the slightest.

The problem I had witht eh film was that the exposition is very very slow. Other than that, it's a pretty OK film and worth the time investment
