Evil Lurks

Really enjoyed this indie film that's so full of passionate spirit in a great way! Epic and compelling storyline that went across three generations of a bloodline afflicted by a terrifying and mysterious entity. Great use of creepy effects. Really great casting for the film and most of the performances were above par of what you'd see in many indie films. I liked that that actors were cast not for their pretty faces, but most were more appropriately cast for characters who had lived rough lives with lots of hardship. Really enjoyed the scenes and dialogue of the creepy neighbor - especially his final bit of dialogue.

We start out in a group therapy session where everyone is entranced. Everyone Except Kemberly.

This movie is a trip. It's got supernatural elements, hypnotism elements. It's got a little back-and-forth Pulp-Fiction/Quentin-Tarantino-style. It's definitely an arthouse film. The best way to describe it is like a David Lynch film on bath salts. It's crazy. Reminded me a bit of Mulholland Dr. I really liked what they did with the camera work and the attention to detail that they had with this project. The acting is really good, the mood is exactly what it needs to be, and the pacing is just right. You won't get bored, that's for sure. This was extremely well done. If you like art-house films this is right up your alley!
