Imagine you're watching one of those cooking contest shows, they give the contestant a beautiful Filet Mignon and then they proceed to make a cheeseburger with it. That's this mess of a movie.

It seemed to have all the elements of making an excellent horror film yet fails so so badly. The concept while not original was still good, the setting was great- small island off the coast? spooky looking ghost. a curse of some sort, and Lance Henriksen.

Instead what we get, the angry confused, unlikable daughter trying to find out what happened to her father. Oh yeah she has "vision" dreams but this isn't ever expanded upon. pretty flat characters with similar acting. a back story/ curse/ that's never truly explained. "They Changed the rules". yeah? well how? this isn't explained either. The run time is pretty short I think around 76 minutes yet it feels much longer than this. another minus, it never seems to know if it wants to be a drama/mystery, a supernatural horror, or just a slasher type movie. with more focus on the backstory and less time spent on the character which didn't really need any development and this could have been one hell of a good movie. I stress could have been....

Oh dear, this started out quite promising really. Sure its well trodden ground these days, teens ship out to an island in search of a missing man, an island supposedly cursed by a schoolteacher who was killed gruesomley by an angry mob for a crime she didn't commit. So far so teen-slasher-romp. It even starts out with a half decent gore scene, but things just get worse and worse. The 'teens' are pretty unbelievable as human beings despite playing pretty defined stereotypes, although this is more of a script weakness than an acting one. Their behaviour is unintelligible given the situation with no firm moral direction, at times they behave as if finding a friend hanging from a tree with their eyes and mouth sown shut is the ultra terrifying situation it would be in real life, but then in the next breath they are all splitting up in a dark forest as if it's nothing, I know this is nothing new in a teen horror, heck its a STAPLE, but its just so contrived in this movie.

As the film approaches its predictable finale things just become a bit laughable, genuinely i can only assume they ran out of money and everything starts to fall apart, the characters do completely bizarre things, the twists make no sense, the conclusion makes no sense the film ends up making no sense. Really poor.

4/10 and thats being generous for the odd decent scene the film dishes out, oh and in a teen slasher there is SUPPOSED to be at least one topless hottie, nope they don't even get that genre necessity right

I was under the impression that "The Seamstress" was some sort of slasher movie when I sat down to watch it. But it turned out to be more of a paranormal thriller with slasher elements. Not sure that it really lived up to what I had thought it to be.

I do enjoy horror movies, and that is why I sat down to watch "The Seamstress". Well, and also because Lance Henriksen was in it. Although I didn't know that he didn't have much of a lead role in this movie; which was a shame and a disappointment.

The story in "The Seamstress" is about a group of young people out at sea, when they get into trouble with their boat and become marooned on a small island. Warned against going inland, the youngsters do, of course, venture inland to explore the island. But a ghastly woman haunts the island, and soon starts to victimize and terrorize the marooned youngsters.

Right, well the story was adequate for a horror movie, although it didn't really offer anything new or innovating. There is essentially nothing here that hasn't already been seen or done in other horror movies.

The acting in "The Seamstress" was adequate, but I can't really claim to pick one performance out in particular as being overly memorable, if you don't count Lance Henriksen in here. It is always a pleasure to see Lance Henriksen in a movie, and his usual dark charm was here as well.

The effects in the movie were good enough, although not memorable. And the creature design was okay as well, but again, not really something you are likely to remember days after having seen the movie.

"The Seamstress" turned out to be a rather generic and mundane horror movie. I did finish it though, because I wanted to see if it got any better, and also to see if Lance Henriksen really didn't have a bigger role than what he ended up having.

All in all, five mediocre stars out of ten stars from me. "The Seamstress" is not an outstanding movie in any way. And once you have seen it, chances are slim to none that you will ever pick it up again at a later time to watch it a second time around.

Whilst trying to solve the 20-year-old mystery of Seamstress, a serial killer, who sew victims eyes and mouths together Donny Plachtt (David Nykl) is half-buried alive, mutilated and then brutally murdered. His daughter Allie (Kailin See) receives his last message and embarks on a search to find out what happened to her father. On the way she indulges into the scribblings of her old man full of mysterious gibberish about the Seven. Soon afterwards together with five happy-go-lucky friends she boards a boat without any radio station to an island with no phone signal and without a loaded gun to track down the murderous Seamstress. Go figure!

Somewhere within the confines of ineptitude there was actually a decent story hidden in between the poor sound-mix, atrocious plot-holes and moronic script. The location itself (a secluded forest island) offers apt atmosphere, while the specter with killer intentions is sufficiently creepy. Even if you blindfold yourself to ignore the countless logic gaffs of characters (it is a slasher horror), but the total randomness of the murders, which ends up uresolved, features as a plothole causing systemic failure. The whole movie system collapses with a inexcusably rushed finale (did the budget run out?) patched up with some laughable SFX. The cast itself can hardly be put to blame, as in general they do decently with the material afforded to them, albeit apparent sound issues make make dialogues hard to decipher, including some key parts which are drowned out by background noise.

This movie is the worst directed and cut movie I ever saw.

Although like watching B horror movies, this movie is a disgrace for the genre. The basic story is still OK and has potential for a B horror movie. The actors performance is also OK for the type of movie. But the cut and the rhythm of the movie is just terrible. Scenes alternate without any logical sequence and worst of all without allowing suspense or thrill to develop. Anti Hitchcock. Individual scenes are good and well filmed but the whole is just the most terrible thing I ever saw and I am a movie junkie.

This is the first DVD I ever bought which I trashed right after watching it. I am sorry for those people who performed well, but the end result is just crap.
