I actually really liked this movie, but the pacing is agonizingly slow at times. The main character is someone who has experienced the loss of her child and blames herself for it, and as a result, she pushes everyone away. Unfortunately, she also pushes the audience away. It's like you have to drag the story out of her. This could be the fault of the way this was directed, written, the lead actor's choices, or the editing of the final product, or some combination of them - I'm honestly not sure, but it happened over and over again. During one of the last scenes (don't worry, no spoilers), the lead literally has a phone to her mouth and almost seems to refuse to deliver the next line, drawing it out way, way, WAY too long. There's an art to dramatic pauses. This movie doesn't get it right. But I give it a 6/10 for premise, atmosphere, and an interesting take on the whole "person who sees dead people" / medium idea. I would love to see this recut. It could be a really decent movie.

This could have been excellent. Is it familiar and derivative? Yes, but original enough to be compelling. Unfortunately, it could have really used a better editor - a 2 plus hour runtime makes it drag. It suffers from sluggish pacing and a trim of at least 20 unnecessary minutes would have helped that. Then there's the random "oh look, we're artists" oddball camera angles at inopportune times that scream "amateurs" instead of artists. Still watchable, but in more capable hands it could have been really memorable.

The idea of the movies plot is decent. The special effects are decent. There are 3 main faults. The acting is just not good, however it could have been overlooked if not for the next two issues. The pacing is needlessly slow and drawn out. It ruins the tension it could be using. The editing is not good. Whether that harmed the pacing or vice versa...This would be a passable movie if the pace was tightened up and slightly better acting was coaxed out of the actors. The child actors outshine the leads.smh. This looks like it could've been the first rough draft for the Sixth Sense before it was nailed down.

I came into this expecting a horror based on the synopsis but all I got was a sad film of a woman dealing with grief while occasionally a glass moves.

Boring, trite and (frankly) depressing this was not what I expected or wanted and, while Michelle Krusiec's acting was great, it couldn't carry this film for me.

The actress in this was just not one you could relate to or one that was even interesting. Acting abilities where overlapped with the how long this movie was. Fast-forward and you would still not miss much. So if you like long movies with not much going on in between then this is you movie.

I could be wrong but this film is suffering from a lack of editing. It feels like it's intentional. Trying to be more psychological in its pacing, but it's actually just taking a really long time to achieve something that it doesn't achieve. It's not bad, it's just treating the story as if it's wholly original in concept. It's not. The first hour can be summed up in 20 minutes max. If it started from there, Probably a 6.5 (7)/10.

Look, this isn't anything new and revolutionary. You've seen similar in a dozen other movies

But , for a shudder original made for their service horror flick , it's a hell of a lot better than I figured it would be.

I was interested enough to want to stick around and unravel things

The acting was not exceptional, but it was decent enough. The " twist" wasn't anything I didn't see coming. In fact I saw it awhile back but figured that was too simplistic so I second guessed myself into some crazy complicated ideas. Nope. Not sixth sense haha

It's a good time killer with a good creepy vibe. Nothing you'll be telling your friends about , but a good way to spend an evening relaxing.

I really had hopes because of the description and the first actors listed. All the actors did well for what they were given. Honestly what I could get through was decent enough, but it drags on. Literally at the half way mark I stopped. I couldn't take the length of time they took for a lot of the scenes. I do try to finish most of what I watch, but when I saw it still had a whole other hour to it, I called it quits. And I've watched swill such as Terror Toons. That was years ago and a learning lesson that led to the reason for my inability to finish this movie.

Heavily flawed movie. But, some of the ideas and scenes stood out enough to make me want to see this movie again one day. Just look past things like the husband's partner looking more like a homless Charles Manson than a police officer. And, I'd actually believe in ghosts before I'd believe that a civil servant CPS worker can be fired on the spot without any warning. But with elements of 6th Sense and some of the life after death and ghost scenes, it's worth watching.

Definitely a slow burn and acting was poor at times. Could have been 30 mins shorter and still been the same film. Ending was good though with a nice twist. All in all I enjoyed it.

They Live in the Grey is fine. I liked the casting, and some of the story. It's derivative of several other horror movies but never reaches the heights it could have. The direction and cinematography seemed equal to a television show like NCIS or CSI. The scares don't scare, the characters aren't ones I am compelled to find out more about.

... but the movie suffers from bad acting and average cinematography. I don't want to be mean, but the main actress as the personality of a fish, it's like looking at a blank page. Some nice ideas, but when a movie relies so much on the mood, you need stellar acting and direction. Otherwise nothing carries the weight of the subject matter.

Initially I was lured in to watching "They Live in the Grey" given the movie's cover, but also because it was a horror/thriller that I hadn't already seen. And yeah, I did find the movie's cover rather interesting. So of course I opted to sit down and watch what writers and directors Abel Vang and Burlee Vang had to offer.

And as it turned out, then writers and directors Abel Vang and Burlee Vang didn't have a whole lot to offer. This movie is unfathomably slow paced. So slow and uneventful, in fact, that I was good and ready to give up on the ordeal a mere 35 minutes into the ordeal. The movie just utterly lacked momentum, and nothing worthwhile was happening in the insanely slow narrative.

Sure, actress Michelle Krusiec was doing a great job in portraying the troubled case worker Claire Yang, but come on, she virtually had nothing to work with in terms of a proper script and also had the pacing of the movie working against her.

This movie entirely fell short of entertaining me. It was simply too slow paced and too uneventful to provide me with any sense of entertainment or enjoyment. So "They Live in the Grey" is not a movie I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.

For a horror/thriller then "They Live in the Grey" just didn't deliver anything worthwhile and brought nothing interesting to the genre.

My rating of "They Live in the Grey" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars, and that is based on the production value and Michelle Krusiec's performance solely.

Extremely boring. Can't believe people like this get funding while hundreds of actually talented filmmakers wallow in obscurity. Anyway, this film is horrible. Weak narrative. Another movie with lazy structure masquerading as avant-garde. Nothing special or interesting.

This is more of a thriller/mystery than a horror movie. I did enjoy it but it needed more fluidity in its story as I felt it just jumped all over the place.

Very boring and copied a lot from other movies manly the sixth sense. I was disappointed, it is a very slow movie hard to stay interested in it, The scenes with ghost was copied almost so that is was just horrible.

Wasn't expecting much from this, but it was quite good, the acting wasn't that good, but the atmosphere is there and it makes up for it. 6/10, not a great movie but not a bad one either.

Alright guys, I'm going to attempt to keep this short... and maybe not so sweet. As a lover of indi horror and someone who acts in them as well I'm going to try to keep in mind that saying our mothers taught us... while also being honest.

This movie was unsuccessful with very few positives in my opinion. The dialogue was uncomfortably contrived, abrupt and with zero tact. It almost felt like it was written by an AI. The acting was wooden and very stilted across the board. The main girl, while successful in some high intensity emotional scenes, had a particularly stilted performance along with the father and the abusive mother. The only actor that stood out positively to me was the old lady in the hospital. But again, how much did they really have to work with being handed a script like THAT.

The editing and progression of plot was so disjointed and jumpy it almost felt like it was not in chronological order, despite the few flashbacks. I found myself many times going... wtf is going on... The movie as a whole was wildly too long as well. So many unnecessary and drawn out scenes. Should have been 85 min max.

Many of the horror effects were successful and looked pretty good, even though the movie was riddled with cheap jump scares. I also found myself liking the score and sound design throughout as well. The quality of picture was nice too, the movie looked pretty professional.

I started to regret my decision about 20 minutes into the film and by an hour in I wanted to turn it off. However I mustered through the last hour to find a moderately interesting yet not particularly original twist that didn't go much of anywhere. This movie is plagued with cliches, questionable performances and far too long of a run time leaving it at a 2.5 for me. Rounding down to a two feels harsh so I'm going to go ahead with a three, but if I'm perfectly honest I would not recommend this one...

I didn't expect a horror. I expected a thriller. I got that with all around great acting thrown in. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and storyline. It's slow but I'd settled in & chilled out so it suited me.

Look, the movie had potential - despite being a bit of a rip off of The Sixth Sense. Unfortunately though, the script needed tightening, the directing was awful and the acting was sub par...and that's being kind. Horror is my absolute favourite genre, but this movie was so slow and excruciatingly dragged out that I couldn't watch it in one sitting. It blows my mind that people are giving it good reviews, especially considering the amazing horror movies that have come out in the past 10 years.

One of the dumbest main characters ever in a sixth sense type movie. The woman is a pea brained basket case. It may have some creepy moments but it was so poorly written that you will forget about those quickly.
