Paranormal Adoption

This is not your typical slasher / horror flick.

Creepy is the best way to describe this film because of the actions of the little girl and her freaky doll. Cleverly written and well cast, this film is kind of a crime / mystery/ horror/ drama.

No big stars in this film but the acting that the main characters delivered was A list. This film is definitely one of the best independent films I have seen in the horror genre.

The music, photography, editing, casting, etc. were all first class. The story itself keeps you guessing. You always wonder when the next shoe will drop. There are some colorful and interesting supporting characters. The school principal, priest, funeral guy, and Bailey's dad to mention a few. You will get your money's worth if you like creepy, clever, horror flicks.

Still, after hours, I can't believe what I saw. Such a perfect movie to watch. Just wow, bravo writer and director Carl Wats!

First of all! I felt genuine connection with small Lacy right from the beginning.

I love how great first weekend they had, I wish I was there with them!

And the most important, the epic metaphor behind their house changes by the time and lifestyle changes.

Oh I wish I could make my husband forgive me so fast, thanks to this movie, I have finally some idea what to do.

I must admit, that it is really rare to see such a beautiful eyes as the man at the funeral. Also that kind smile that gave us father. Thanks god.

Well, time is running, but my mind is still stuck with the fact, that Henry, disabled friend who was deaf-muted, was able to drive Lacy home. Good for him!

I would like to pay a tribute to the whole cast and crew, you did a great job!

Tomorrow I make sure, that all my friends and family members will know about this film and how great mister piece it is for independent movie! Cool!

Well, I will tell them even today, that great it is actually.

Oh almost forget, the title. When I saw the title I immediately know that I need to see this. I have good intuition.

Quite entertaining. There are a lot of things that drew me to watch this film several times. The characters are very real. I believe that this couple are actually married. I looked up the dad ( William Morse) on IMDb to see if he was actually married to the actress who played the mom ( Marina Lyon ) and saw that he is not, but that's how good the performance was. The actress that played the little girl is Piper Watts who also gave a very real performance. Extraordinary for a girl that young. All of the supporting characters like the priest, funeral director, detective, attorney, etc were also extremely well cast. The film starts out slow as the characters are introduced, and the back stories are revealed. It doesn't take long for the momentum to build and you won't want to make any trips for popcorn during the second half of the film. I told two friends about this film and they liked it as much as I did. Ten stars.

Don't know why this movie showed up on my Apple TV in the horror section. But since I had already seen the rest of the bunch, I rented this one. Since I managed to see it through without going to bed, it gets two stars.

The only person doing a decent acting, is the new father. The quality of the plot almost made me think of "Planet 9 from outer space".

But then I didn't know this was an indie until I read the other comments. And I suspect most of the film's budget went into paying 30 people to give this movie 10 stars and favorable reviews.

Lesson learned: Apple isn't all about quality anymore, at least not in the TV business.

The first thought that came to mind when I viewed this film was, "Wow, for an independent production, these are some great actors!". I'm very impressed by the young talent in the movie. Also, the exciting plot kept me on the edge of my seat, always wondering what would happen next and how the characters would pull through. There are many diverse elements that contribute to the intriguing complexity of this script. This film was well cast as the actors were totally believable. The ending was shocking and hard to predict. I had envisioned other scenarios for the ending , but not the one that really happened. Like a lot of indie films, this one falls into several genres, horror, drama, crime, thriller, mystery. Overall , I would highly recommend this film if you are into these genres.
