Dark Windows

No pun intended - this is a little horror movie. So I reckon if you suspend your disbelief and cut this some slack .. well you may find this interesting. Especially the spin or twist or whatever you would call it. I think it kind of loses a lot of momentum once there is ... well the ending (resolution).

There are some interesting and good moments before. You have some nice jump scares (if you call them nice) and some character beats ... that may work in the context of the movie or not. The actors do their best, but you may find their characters annoying ... and you have not seen anything yet. Roll (or rather ride ... sorry not sorry) with it ... otherwise you will be bored I reckon.

In a seemingly endless sea of absolutely unwatchable garbage which never should have been made, this decent film seems excellent, relatively speaking.

The acting is mostly good, the casting is mostly good, the music is pretty good, the editing and shaky cam are not ridiculously overdone and a few of the lines in the script are actually great, which I don't think I've been able to say for the last 100 movies I've tried to watch. For example, When Monica (Annie Hamilton) says, "This is a really good closet for hide and seek... if we decide to play." That is a great piece of dialogue which offered insight into the character's personality, the house itself, and the character's personal connection with the house. It was unexpected, funny and seemed realistic in spite of it being out of place, given the circumstance.

I love that they didn't overdo the makeup and let Tilly's (Anna Bullard's) freckles shine. That is so rare.

I don't know if they had a bowl of ice cubes on set or what, but the braless diamond cutters throughout really give you a sense of a chill in the air.

The plot and twists are actually pretty plausible as far as horror movies go.

If you're watching movies on your computer at home alone, this is about as good as your going to find these days. Hopefully it signals the beginning of the end of the crapfest the film industry has been for the last decade or so.

Much better than the rating suggests if you like drama/horror movies. In my opinion this is a little hidden gem. It's only one hour and 20 minutes long, so it's not one of those long drawn out type horror movies. The story is great and unique. It's got a couple of messages for younger people in the movie, such as never drink and drive and when someone is driving, act responsibly.

I had never seen any of these actors but All of the actors do a great job. There isn't a whole lot of horror in the movie but just enough to keep you interested and the final act it's worth the wait.

7/10 all in all a good/great horror.

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.
