Bright Hill Road

Left quite the neutral emotion in me. The storyline was a bit silly; however, was good enough to make me stay until the end. Though the plot was not this movie's strength, I still could not predict the ending.

This is another example of film having the potential to be amazing if only for a higher budget and better special effects. I was intrigued with the concept of the movie.

Starts off well, competent acting. attractive lead actress. So we are quickly into an office revenge mass killing but from there it goes downhill. Like most low budget horrors it has the semblance of an idea but cannot maintain the pacing or hold the viewers interest!

I am seemingly the first to review this and have watched it so you do not have to - avoid it is not worth the effort a pretty boring effort although it does manage to conjure up a fair amount of bleak and haunting atmosphere but that does not a good film make - Rating of 3.4 on this one is about right!

I believe the screenwriter or screenwriters were drunk the time they wrote this because it's mostly incoherent with obvious Scare Tactics that failed. And above all it's really repetitive and dull, dull, dulls. Sloppy uninspired Direction. Whatever they were trying for they missed the mark. The actors did okay with what they had to work with but even an excellent actor couldn't do anything with this lousy script. Very disappointed in what could have been a promising film. Boooooring. And the twist ending was anything but a Twist like a really bad immature Twilight Zone episode that's way too long and no surprises. Nuff said.

Firstly, Siobhan Williams is outstanding. Her portrayal of an alcoholic is brilliant. Anyone who has had a close relationship with someone who is addicted to alcohol will recognise the denial. I can guarantee that if an alcoholic and the person they lived with saw this film together they would all be split 50/50. The alcoholic would say 'That's not me', the non-alcoholic would say 'That's you'. If you haven't experienced alcoholism this film would give you a great insight into the problem. The story line is good. Enough twists to keep you well entertained. The acting brilliant and the photography and direction well above par. If you're looking for something to entertain and inform you, this is a great film. If your're looking for some laughs and giggles, steer clear.
