Something in the Clearing

This movie involves a subject matter that is often avoided by the movie industry. This is a great movie where good triumphs over evil. This fast paced movie will keep you at the edge of your seat as you take a roller coaster ride through the "wierdness" of the Occult in a small town setting. A real plus was to find out that this is based on true experiences...which makes it that much more exciting. The only drawback for me was that the movie had a few "miscues" that left you wondering how they tied in. It was great to see Luke Goss back in action since his great performance in "Blade 2" Luke made the main character very believable. The supporting roles were well played and the special effects blended well with the subject matter. All in all it is a worthy effort and a good movie to watch.

This movie starts out a bit slow and before you know it it has you on the edge of your seat! The story is powerful and gripping. Luke Goss is beautiful as always and the characters are well portrayed. This is one of those experiences you get taken away by, whether you want to or not! This is a small independent film with the power and punch of a big budget project. The vision is clear and well portrayed. The soundtrack and music is moving, powerful and mood setting. There is HUGE talent behind this "little" project. Ms. Hamner should be applauded for her work and vision! This is a movie that needs to be seen more than once to truly be appreciated! There are some incredible messages that are not caught the first or even second viewing. Take the time to experience this project for the power player it is! What a great cinematic experience!

Saw the preview. It was weird, but I liked it. It was kind of 1950's. Dead Silence did the same kind of retro feel. I like older films- The Bad Seed.

I particularly liked that the name of God had power (unlike most exorcist scenes). It was 'spooky' in a fun way... not a 'Saw' or "Hills Have Eyes" a bloody gory mess. It is the kind of movie you could watch, jump once in a while, and then not have night terrors about.

It took a couple of minutes to move at first but it ended well.

Luke Goss is awesome. The Auntie was very strange...she played the role well. The father figure was a weak character so I can see why men wouldn't like him. Identifying with him would expose their own vulnerability.

This movie is a good spiritual-thriller.

The disturbing content will upset the contemporary-culture's blind-sided view about ritualistic child abuse. Yet, the movie ends with a hopeful perspective.

Although the movie is clear about its presentation of the Christian faith and the hope people have in Jesus Christ, it is still a movie for everyone to watch.

The movie asks people to look beyond their pleasant surroundings and to consider there might be ugly things happening in their own neighborhood.

This movie was a one-of-a-kind. Has a blend of horror, drama as well as Christian message. Was a little hard to follow at first but about 1/3 into the film I found my self engaged in the interaction and being quite entertained. Not sure I have seen a film with this mix but it seem to work well. Got to admit it's strange to be laughing at some of the scenes while such a serious strong subject matter is being played out. After seeing Luke Goss in this movie and then "One Night With The King" looks like Something In The Clearing has lined Itself up to be a film that will not only turn heads, but should be around for a long time. I was also impressed with the child actors in this film. Good job Narrow Gate Productions.
