Something in the Clearing

Just wow ! This was a great movie with amazing actors and an even better story line. Here we are 17 years later and I'm still watching this movie daily. The quality of the production for the time it came out was excellent quality ! This should have been a movie of the year and I believe it still has the ability to be this. I would love to see some possible Oscar nominations for some of these actors including the World Famous Luke Goss or even the dog "Brady" I believe was its name. Definitely have the dog air bud a run for his money ! Please share this with your friends and loved ones !! Top Film of the century.

This movie involves a subject matter that is often avoided by the movie industry. This is a great movie where good triumphs over evil. This fast paced movie will keep you at the edge of your seat as you take a roller coaster ride through the "wierdness" of the Occult in a small town setting. A real plus was to find out that this is based on true experiences...which makes it that much more exciting. The only drawback for me was that the movie had a few "miscues" that left you wondering how they tied in. It was great to see Luke Goss back in action since his great performance in "Blade 2" Luke made the main character very believable. The supporting roles were well played and the special effects blended well with the subject matter. All in all it is a worthy effort and a good movie to watch.

Saw the preview. It was weird, but I liked it. It was kind of 1950's. Dead Silence did the same kind of retro feel. I like older films- The Bad Seed.

I particularly liked that the name of God had power (unlike most exorcist scenes). It was 'spooky' in a fun way... not a 'Saw' or "Hills Have Eyes" a bloody gory mess. It is the kind of movie you could watch, jump once in a while, and then not have night terrors about.

It took a couple of minutes to move at first but it ended well.

Luke Goss is awesome. The Auntie was very strange...she played the role well. The father figure was a weak character so I can see why men wouldn't like him. Identifying with him would expose their own vulnerability.

This film is very well done. If you have high standards, it will go perfectly with your expectations. The special effects and overall set design are amazing.

The movie does a great job keeping your interest. It is very well written and cast. You'll find yourself lost in the story - then when it's over, you'll have much to think about.

This movie does a great job bringing to light the very real and disturbing events that do or will happen in communities like the one you live in. No place is safe - now we know - now we can protect our children.

The story was good. The use of flashback scenes in character development really enhanced the characters and their motivation.

The scenes between the uncle and the little boy were disturbing to the core of my soul. My stomach twisted when the little boy said "do you want to see my underwear?" to Luke Goss's character.

The scene between the aunt and the wife/mother was probably the most uncomfortable thing I have ever seen in film.

The movie has some very dramatic and compelling scenes. The beginning was a little slow with all the character back stories. But definitely worth watching.
