Life of Belle

As a parent, this film took me to a place that was unimaginably uncomfortable beyond all comprehension. The film itself had an incredibly good production value feel to it for something that was made with no budget. The kids were the real star of the show, the acting was amazing and my goodness was the mother incredibly freaky. Never again will I talk to a camera while on my bed!! I would easily put this film up there with exists and as above so below. I genuinely look forward to what this producer has next in the pipeline.....you 100% have a fan here. My partner although not a fan of ff films, quite comprehensibly said this film was amazing, your onto a winner here.

I enjoyed the movie and found the ending satisfying. Most FF endings leave you feeling cheated, but this one did not. There wasn't a massive M. Night Shyamalan twist, but it was still great.

One criticism is that for most of the movie, nothing scary really happened, a common issue in FF. It may apply here too. I caught only one spooky instance before the final scenes. Despite this, it contributed well to the buildup for the ending. In hindsight, the lack of activity added to the final disposition.

All in all, I recommend it. The child actors were impressive, possibly the best I've seen for their ages. They never seemed like they were pretending or acting.

MOVIE #6 OF THE 100 HORROR MOVIE WATCH CHALLENGE

RATING - 4.4🍿

This found footage style horror film follows the life of Belle, a young girl filming her everyday life. As Dad is on a business trip, the mother seems to be losing it and dark intentions from a dark intenty take over. The found footage is an inside look at what happened.

I give this watch 4.4 bags of 🍿 as the film just takes way too long to develop and you're stuck there just watching them live their lives. Every point where I thought something has to start happening it just makes you wait longer and when it finally gets going it just didn't do it for me. I thought at many points in the story they could of built it up very well but just was very underwhelming for me.

I'm T 🎬 and I hope you're day is full of peace and love.

I went into this film with a bit of scepticism. However, I have to say I came out really impressed. I'm not one who reviews a lot of movies, but I thought I'd like to add my thoughts to this one, as it was likely to get washed away with average reviews.

First of all, I have to agree with some previous reviewers and say the acting is not great. Apart from Belle and her mother, the other actors are a bit "clunky", but this is a minor quibble.

Overall, this is a superb piece of drama on a small budget. Don't expect big jump scares. It slowly builds the terror and the viewer is left thinking "What the Hell is going on?" A small clue happens along the way, in a blink and you've missed it way. I will say no more. Suffice it to say, you know it's going to be a paranormal drama. Now, how does it pan out?

The dread builds slowly, though from the start, you know things aren't going to end well. A mix of Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch Project and Lake Mungo, it works well. A superb horror flick. I loved it and will definitely watch again, having had a feeling I might have missed some clues along the way.

I don't write reviews often, but I was impressed with how disturbing this movie was. It filled me with angst-that lump in the back of your throat feeling. Syrenne Robinson plays the main character, Belle who pulled at my heart strings, with her love for her brother and her entire family. I later looked her up on IMDB to find that this is her first movie (along with most of the cast)..again, impressive. The movie explores mental health issues and the reality of what some kids and families deal with on a daily basis. The found footage is mostly from the perspective of the young girl, Belle and how children try to cope in difficult situations.
