The Reading

So this movie is not one to put on to fall asleep. It will keep you entertained to say the least. Def worth a watch worse case scenario you'll have something to talk about at the end and Monique is always a good watch. She was kinda corny at the end but ultimately I'd recommend. Especially if you have nothing else to watch. Oh lord so apparently I need more words..... soooo okay! Obviously if you can't tell l'm not a bot lol so watch the movie, enjoy and my goodness who knew I'd have to right 600 words just to leave a dang review. I guess I have to say last but not least ignore the bad reviews, Im not sure which movie they watched.

Great concept. HORRIBLE execution. I wanted to see Htown knock this out the park. I really was rooting for this. Now the People who rated this 10 lied to you. NOT FRIENDS, They are enablers. The will not help you reach the level you want to go too. There is a science to film, There are people who's already learned them. If you won't go to school, staff your weakness. You limit your success by not taking the time to study (school) your craft. Please take this as an opportunity for grow. I'm rooting for you. The only people whose saying filmmakers don't need school is the ones who didn't go. U got this.

Watching this movie made me wish I had attended film school, just so I could have the technical knowledge to effectively explain all the things that are wrong. The more I watched, the more confused I was. I was being generous when I gave it four stars. The acting and dialogue were ineffective. I do not understand the Emma character. She was confusing and near the end she was just all over the place.

There are so many holes in the script and so many questions throughout, that I'm unable to decide what the end really meant.

I want to walk away from a movie feeling like it was either completely believable or such a fantastic story that I'm willing to believe it because it was so well done - like The Sixth Sense. This was neither. I walked away from the movie asking why seasoned industry professionals put their names on this. And in the final credits...why was Monique credited three times for the same character? I don't even want to guess.

Watch this movie if you're a serious film student looking for a movie that is full of issues and things to not do when making a film. If you're a regular person, just find something else to watch...unless you enjoy train wrecks and dumpster fires.

Just finished watching this movie and I am glad Monique has returned to the movie screen collaborating with Lee Daniels again. Unfortunately, this isn't necessarily what I wanted to for Monique as her comeback film. The movie's strengths are the super natural aspects & Monique's performance. That was quickly replaced by a confusing plot twist, sub par acting from other actors, non sensical sub plots, and pacing issues that caused me to yawn several times over! Monique's performance is scary at times and near comedic especially towards the end. I had subscribed to BET Plus to watch this, but quickly unsubscribed after it was over. This was a good bad movie...

I really don't know why this movie is getting such bad reviews? It was exactly how a horror should be. There was suspense and plot twist, and even had a little comedy. I especially liked how they did not waste their time getting to the point. I don't know if the negative reviews are because there's not blood and gore?

Or it's because people are typically use to films like this with a certain demographic not being as good and watched this one and is possibly upset that a certain demographic was able to produce a decent horror film with a good budget? Or possibly they didn't watch the previews of this movie and assumed it was going to be some Wayne Brothers comical spin on horror movies?
