The Voices

This is a small focus of a movie. It does what it tries to do, but it only has so much to give. Intriguing but somewhat empty emotionally. Or with plotting. Acting is variable but generally the main characters do well.

Voices is a decent enough movie with good production value, creepy soundtrack and calm cinematography. The story isn't novel but works with the tempo of the film. The movies spends a lot of time on characterization especially that of the main character Lillian, we see her grow from a kid to a teenager to an adult. We see her struggle as she tries to fit it the society. We see her make friends and acquaintances and overall how she came to be the present day Lillian. Every stage is pretty fun to watch but they slow down the pace a lot, they spend way too much time on it, that they forget the bad guys and explain the supernatural elements of the movie like why do the spirits wants to be her "baby" why must it be her? 'cause she's blind? If so, are there not other blind women? Why the "voice" choose her? what's so special about her? Why not other women? And how does Diana knows, all of a sudden, about the supernatural things and that it's connected to Lillian? The third act, is a let down and felt rushed, the bad guys are laughable and somewhat cartoonish. The resolution of the conflict is too simple considering that much build up. The acting is decent; Tracy Adkins is pretty good in lead role, the supporting casts ranges from decent to good to atrocious.

Overall, Voices does a good job in terms of character development and has a good production value but the plot stagnates a lot.

Good plot....stupid women again.....dah.......actors reading off cuecards.....Worth a 3 at most.

Lame. Could have really done some scary scenes and plot, but fell way short. We couldn't even make it more than halfway through the movie with their overly cheery empathetic silver-lining cloud life theory.

Quick review: movie has great plot and main characters acting is decent but it was very apparent that all the male actors in this were actually acting and not life like. Poor performances from the males but other than that it was decent. Could have been better but for a horror movie it was good.
