The Redeeming

You can see the filmmakers/actors/cast/crew worked hard to make the best movie they could. B+ for effort and good luck on your next film. And to those that felt the need to tear down the creative works of others - let's hope the audience of your creative masterpieces are much nicer to you than you were to these folks.

It littered with sofa critics and keyboard warriors who have absolutely no conception of how difficult it is to make a feature film, especially on a low budget with a limited amount of locations and actors.

This film is a masterpiece in it's own right. The composition, direction, screenplay and acting was all there for me. I commend everyone who was involved in making this film and will look forward to seeing your future work. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Congratulations!

I really Enjoyed this indie Psychological Thriller. I was very impressed on how the story keeps evolving in unexpected ways. I simply admire filmmakers that keep it simple with one location and two actors, as this is the most difficult to do in storytelling.

Brian Barnes' The Redeeming is a smart and shrewdly executed in-the-head thriller. Claustrophobically entombed in what amounts to a single location, the subtle yet at times high-tension acting between two primary characters grab the attention early and hold it throughout. With a unique story of things past, this quiet film leverages solitude and builds suspense by keeping the viewer guessing. This is one to watch in a dark home environment while you allow that environment to merge seamlessly with the intimacy of the darkened house in which this deftly-executed film takes root.

This low-budget film is a solid contained thriller, especially when you take into account the difficulty of a) placing a film in only one location, and b) only having two characters in the movie, it does its job. It's got shades of "Misery" to it and the storm sound design adds to the creepy atmosphere. Decent performances and I liked the slower pace. It really works here to build the tension.
