Dark Windows

Well, I have to say that I was quite impressed. Amazon Prime. It's hard to find a movie that has a different flow/vibe with an unexpected ending these days with all of the movies out there! This movie kept my attention from beginning to end. Simple plot; good acting; great execution on cinematography...the ending is just priceless, in my opinion. It was not what I, nor my husband expected (as we frequently have it all figured out before the movie ends lol). I'm a horror/thriller/suspense enthusiast, but don't enjoy slasher or over the top bloody films. This. Was. Awesome. 1 hr 20 min...with no unnecessary fluff. And to think, there was a message within the movie about drinking & driving that may or may not help others make better decisions...lessons definitely learned here. I really can't say enough - we need more gems like this!!

The scariest thing about this "thriller" is that someone read the script and greenlit it. There is absolutely nothing in this movie we haven't seen countless times in much better movies, except for one scene (actually just one shot) near the end.

The actors can act, I'll give them that, but the characters are one dimensional and the fact that they spend half the movie bickering does nothing to make them any more palatable.

After the first act, there is literally a full hour when nothing even remotely dramatic happens. Everything "scary" is jammed into the last 20 minutes, and it's so lame it's not worth sticking around for.

Any of the glowing reviews here must have come from the cast and crew. Either that or the reviewers are the kind of easily triggered pantywaists who have a nervous breakdown if their fast food order has the wrong kind of fries.

If you're in the mood for this kind of movie, you'd be better served rewatching "I Know What You Did Last Summer" or any of its sequels or remakes.

I came across this flick while looking for a good horror on Amazon and the trailer showed three people trapped in a house with a killer outside which was was just the type of mindless slasher I was in the mood for tonight.

It turned out to be much better than I expected and the suspense slowly builds up throughout the film until the intense ending. No spoilers will be shared here though. Just the general plot... After the death of a friend, 3 friends of the deceased go to a house in the country to overcome their grief...but they're not alone. The horror doesn't begin right away but the tension slowly builds throughout the first hour keeping you engaged. I wasn't bored at any point and I usually shut films off after 10 minutes if i'm not getting into it.

The acting by all the leads was pretty good, especially by the lead girl and none of the characters made stupid decisions like they do in most of these types of films.

I'm rating it a 9 because with so many bad new horrors out there today, this was a nice surprise and I was into it the whole way through. I paid 3.99 to rent it, but if you wait a while it'll most likely be free to stream soon, but I don't feel like I wasted my money on it because I really enjoyed it. Definitely recommended if you're into suspense with good acting and I thought the ending was pretty intense and done well.

... but as it turns out, I found it quite enjoyable. This showed up in my Prime recommendations, and I thought the synopsis sounded good enough to give it a watch. After all, how can you go wrong with a movie about teenagers being stalked by a mad man (though I doubt any of the actors were anywhere near teens).

The acting was quite good, but what surprised me the most was that the actions of the characters was quite logical compared to other movies in this genre. I did think it might have some good gore, but if you're looking for that, you'll be disappointed.

This is one of the rare times I didn't look at the rating of a film before watching it, and I'm glad I didn't because the low rating might have made me pass it up. I have no idea why it would receive anything less than a 6. Perhaps it simply wasn't what people expected, but in my case, it was much better.

I actually think this is a great movie, I hesitated when I saw the low ratings here but there was something with it anyway that made me rent it , I like this kind of movies and I just had a good feeling, and I am so happy I followed that instinct, this was great

Sure you have earlier references to I know what you did last summer, but this was better and way out better story, creepy level is high and it start just as I like it, slow and small things in the background that telling you something is wrong

I really dont understand why people didnt like it , perhaps its the stoneage cave people that thought this was a slasher with violence and blood, not sure , cause this is a great movie and I am very sensitive with movies , not easy to satisfy.
