Avis à la une
I suppose I shouldn't worry to much about such things in modern movies, particularly the made-for-TV variety, but the anachronisms were just a bit much for me. For instance:
The film's action takes place in Massachusetts; central to the plot is the story of a burned-at-the-stake witch whom apparently used to live in a certain house. Said burning occurred during the Salem witch hunts of 1692, but the house is an unmistakable Victorian. It doesn't take an expert to realize that the style is eponymous with the English Queen, which meant that it couldn't have existed in that form until the mid-1800's, at least 125 years after the murder.
The accused witch, according to the (twenty-something) "high-school kids", supposedly was kept in a "straight-jacket in a padded cell in an asylum". I don't believe any of these things existed in Seventeenth Century Massachusetts; and even England's notorious Bedlam was more of a convenient dump-site for loonies, rather than a real mental institution.
And for a three-hundred-year-old tombstone, particularly one exposed to the corrosive effects of urban New England's infamous acid rain over a good part of that time, the carving sure looked sharp and fresh.
Otherwise, I rather enjoyed "I've Been Waiting for You", simply because, like most "slasher flicks", it gives me--someone whom worked at a state university for over a quarter-century-- the opportunity to watch college-age kids get tormented--even unto death.
Mmmm...yes....

Another dubious Channel 5 movie. It seems to me that to attempt to make it in Hollywood as a young star, you have to be murdered in a rather gruesome manner by somebody dressed in a cape, preferably surrounded by mist.
Unfortunately, this film doesn't deliver the goods as a horror film, failing to build up the atmosphere sufficiently for the murder scenes to be scary, and with one of the most confusing and pointless plot lines I've seen in ages. There are a couple of classy scenes (watch out for the smoking gargoyle), but this is more a showcase for Hollywood's young talent than an edge-of-your-seat horror. So if you like good-looking hardbodies, and more dry ice than you can poke a stick at, then you'll love this.

I rented this movie while looking for a scary movie to watch with my sister. Turns out she was asleep when I got home, so I had to watch it alone. But I really enjoyed watching this movie, if only because I was feeling blue at the time and Sarah Chalke is one of the prettiest actresses out there. I wish she'd say "I've been waiting for you" to me...
Anyway, the movie is not all *that* scary, and it seems the director is trying to make you jump off your seat every five minutes or so, but I've seen much worse. At least it's not a gore-fest movie, but a good old fashioned scary flick.
Rent it with your friends, or by yourself... you'll enjoy it!

It's good! Pretty scary, I was surprised. The acting wasn't cheezy like in a lot of made for tv movies. I thought the plot was good but I was a tiny bit disappointed by the ending...but just a little. Go see it!
I did start my Halloween challenge on Saturday 22nd. Which will be 40 days of horror movies/.

I've been waiting for you (1998)
Well, It Sounded a bit like scream but with bit witches added to it. The masked wasn't to bad but I found it more funny then scary.
The movie it self wasn't all that gory or scary however it still intruded me from start to end,
With these you can't' tell who the killer is from their first scenes but I did enjoy those funny witches scenes. which I found a bit funny, I don't think that was intended.
The acting wasn't all that bad. not great but decent for a TV movie. I didn't really liked how it was all revealed out.
The last scene kinds of leaves you hanging. I did here there was meant another to sequel to this movie. which would have explained the last scene.
5 out of 10
