The Burned Over District

I'm usually not a big horror fan, but this movie was the exception. It was a great script, with great acting. All the characters were developed nicely. I loved that they didn't just go from one action scene to another without thought to the characters and the story. The film was unique and not your typical horror movie. So many horror movies have bad acting and only seem to care about trying to shock you. The Burned Over District kept me engaged and had the perfect amount of gore! The quality of the movie was fantastic. Some Independent Movies look low budget but this did not. Awesome movie that both horror fans and non horror fans will love!

We were looking for a new horror movie similar to The Endless or The Void and decided to watch this movie based on the very high reviews but after watching the movie feel the reviews may be a bit padded.

We went into this movie with the expectation of a low budget movie that comes with mediocre film and sound direction with the hope of an interesting and unique story but sadly were disappointed. The story made little to no sense, there was missing pieces of backstory that would have helped with the story plot, and then story bits that were completely irrelevant. The story starts with a mystery with a likely supernatural backing that devolves into weird nonsensical cosmic horror with a splash of 80s slasher horror.

I would say the talent behind this movie have promise and could really do well down the road but they unfortunately missed the mark on this one.

The Burned Over District offers a compelling mix of horror, suspense, love, and gore, making for a gripping viewing experience. Throughout the film, a tangible sense of unease keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, while Mike Chibante's exceptional score further enhances the atmosphere. Vince and James Coleman have crafted a weighty narrative that begins explosively and gradually unfolds into unexpected territory. Their work on this film showcases their talent and creativity, offering a refreshing departure from conventional storytelling. As a viewer, I found it exhilarating to watch something different and look forward to seeing more from the Coleman Brothers in the future. Overall, I would rate The Burned Over District a perfect 10/10 for its outstanding execution and immersive storytelling.

This movie hits so many different horror movie elements while still keeping you on your toes and has a compelling storyline with twist and turns I seriously didn't see coming! I Would highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves this genre 10/10!! The creative minds behind this movie have also started a mini series on YouTube that is TO DIE FOR!!! If you love horror and thriller movies then you and your friends will be on the edge of your seats in the ever thickening plot twists that makes up the story behind The Burned Over District! These up and coming directors have it all down pat with this movie!!

The film starts as a slow burn leading up to the mayhem and the build was worth that wait! The creepy factor is so good and at times really uncomfortable (as it should be for a horror/thriller). The blood and gore and deaths are so well done - being shocking and believable. My favorite thing about this film is that it is truly driven by the main characters - the relationship between Katie and Will and their individual journies. The antics of the cult are an added bonus of creepy, weirdness, as some of what you expect to happen does, but other moments are still shocking and disturbing. Katie and Will pull you along with the story and have a relatability that makes you want to see one or both of them make it out of this!
