Behind You

I am fan of the horror movies, however this movie is just not up to expectations of the story. More or less boring and no development of story at all.

This movie was selected from a long list of possibilities in a search for a good old fashioned scary ghost story. I am a huge horror fan, and I watch movies a lot. So I consider myself a good judge of the genre This movie made a ton of promises, with very little payout. You get set up for the usual spooky secrets in the haunted house/ basement bit, complete with children to scare witless, and seemingly disgruntled relatives. So lets dig in........and waiting..........and waiting..........Other than a slow passing of character exposition, where we get reminded that there are dark secrets in this house, the bulk of the movie goes by with very little actual supernatural events. Then just before you decide you really have wasted your night on a boring movie, it explodes into a non-stop horror roller coaster. 90% of the action takes place in the last 10% of the movie. The rest of the movie felt juvenile and cheesy. Just too little too late for me.

Bad.

It's not a good movie.

A good friend wouldn't let you watch this movie.

I can never rate these types of movies on the same scale as I would a movie with a larger budget and known actors but I can rate it on the lower budget movie scale where this one would fit as a solid 6. The story is good, the acting is decent and the horror aspect offers some scares and is creepy enough.

I was actually surprised because I didn't expect the film to be a watchable horror film let alone a decent story. I did feel like it went on longer than it should have. No need for a "twist" or "surprise ending" with these types of films. Just keep it straight and cut it with a happy ending (or a sad one).

I don't have many complaints about the movie I did enjoy it for what it was. A Sunday evening type of horror movie. Lights on the violence,gore, and profanity but entertaining enough to still be a horror movie.

I liked it... I'll probably forget that I watched it though. If I could compare the film to something... I'd say it's like a good frozen pizza. You know you'd rather have a pie fresh out a real parlor but that frozen pizza is convenient when you're hungry and it's too late to pick up anything. That is this movie. It's a convenient little horror film that does it's job of entertaining you for the duration of its run time. You don't anticipate it to be an amazing experience but it is at least a good one that is filling.

The acting wasn't the worst, for a low budget movie it was ok. There were numerous times you found yourself saying 'really, now who would do that?' It's one of those movies that the characters actions were so stupid that you just felt angered from the stupidity. The writing could have been better, or at least believable of what people would do in the same situation.
