Deadly Intent

The makers of the film use all the tricks of horror/psychological thrillers: messed up kid, clueless woman, doors slamming, killed pet, shadows, quick glimpse of ghost, curtains blowing, eerie music, falling items, None are used effectively. Along with an inept script, all this ads up to a pretty boring movie. Just one question though: what does the aunt do that she can afford such a large house with such fine furnishings? Is she a lottery winner or what?

As a lover of ghost movies, this one was dull and humdrum. Don't waste your time!

When her husband dies Bryony tries to rebuild her life with her young son James. The young actor who plays James provides a terrific performance. James in typical movie fashion starts acting weird and withdrawn.

Although parallels could be made to something like "Babadook" and even "Kill List" this UK chiller really does stand out on its own.Some really good performances help enhance the quality of the script. Although there are some jump scares here and there they do not overdo it.

Kudos to the crew as for a low budget independent film they do a very good job

I'm a big fan of indie films and horror and I love when they come together well. "Deadly Intent" is a slow burn ghost story about a young boy named James who lost his father to war, only to have visions of him (and worse) begin to occur.

There is always a wonder of what is out there after death. Everyone wants to see their family members and friends who have passed again, but at what price? Just because it looks like your father (or loved one), does not mean they are what they seem. "Deadly Intent" sets the stage of the movie, you get to know the family as the center of it, you get to feel their grief. The movie is as much about the relationship of the the mother, Bryony and James, as it is about the ghost aspect.

The movie is beautifully shot and cleanly edited. I recommend giving it a look.

I wasn't enthralled with the movie at all. It wasn't scary. In fact most of the time it seemed boring. Can't give it more than a 3/10
