Widow's Point

I'm a huge horror/B- horror fan. I comb through all the FF, UFO, paranormal stuff, and creative features available on Prime. Seeing this movie starred Craig Shaffer along with an acceptable preface I have it a shot. First, what happened to CS acting? I consider him just under an A list actor and have enjoyed his films. This movie opens with absolutely awful acting. CS agent is one of the worst in the film. All of the actors were just unbearable to watch. I was hoping CS would make this movie bearable. After a box of Cheezits....he just didn't. If you're a fan of hidden gems, avoid this one. It needs to remain hidden.

Low budget flick about a horror writer's stay in a haunted lighthouse to promote his new book (think 1408 by the sea). Some dodgy acting, although star Craig Sheffer is entertaining, and the bride ghost looks pretty cool at times. Shame the climax looks like it was ripped straight out of 1970's Dr Who. 5/10

I had hoped this was going to be a creepy ghost story. At first, it started that way, then it went rapidly down hill. The acting was atrocious, and the story line went too far over the top for my liking. I wouldn't waste your energy on this!

This is bad....I mean really really bad! The actors is reading their lines without any expression what so ever. The "scary" parts is laughable depressing. Its so bad that bad dont define it....

Well, granted I was lured in by this 2019 thriller's movie cover/poster, and I actually had no idea what the movie was about or who was in it. The movie seemed like a horror movie, little did I know that it was a mere thriller, so I sat down to watch it.

And "Widow's Point" was a swing and a miss from director Gregory Lamberson in terms of entertaining me. Sure, the movie was semi-watchable, but it was very, very slow-paced and rather uneventful. And when something did happen, it was just something bland which made me merely shrug my shoulders at best.

For a thriller, then "Widow's Peak" was stale and generic. The storyline was very scripted and predictable, which most definitely didn't add an ounce of enjoyment to the movie, to be honest.

What did work for the movie was the fact that Craig Sheffer was on the cast list. But even with him on the cast list it wasn't much of an uplifting addition to the movie, because he had very little to work with.

The special effects in "Widow's Peak" were not impressive. They worked as intended, for sure, but they were by no means impressive, especially for a movie from 2019.

I am rating "Widow's Peak" a mere, but generous, three out of ten stars. I wasn't impressed nor entertained. And chances of me returning to watch "Widow's Point" ever again are about as big of a me winning the lottery; and since I don't play the lottery, well...
