The Haunting of Julia Fields

Okay, low budget, really frustrating and annoying dialogue, but wow. The ending is completely the opposite of what you'd expect. Based on a true story in some ways.

There should have been more characters involved, more depth to Julia's character other than blogging, and staying round the house in her pjs. I sort of get why, because the script was short and they wanted to get to the point but much better use is the English language was badly needed other then saying, totally, like, it's like, seriously. Like, like, really, I'm so, like. Look America you know there are many more words than that right? Is this how American girls talk really!? What in every film? Also a bit more clarity needed in the final third rather than us just being made to wonder.

Aside from all that, blown away as to how surprising this was. Well done this time. Audience reviews are lying.

The movie started well but near the end it's dire! Not about a haunting at all. Mentally ill person sees stuff. That's it. That's the plot. The movie had good actors but the misleading title is annoying. There are many good genuinely good horror movies out there but as someone reported earlier - it's a lie about what category this is.

I'm away to read more about this (even if it was a true story) and what happened: the movie gives little depth. This could have been an episode in a tv series rather than a movie. The ghostly things itself were good and similar to what I've executed in real life. However it's a lame ending. Needs more depth and better explanation.

It wasted mine. I forgave the plot contrivances, dumb little errors and writing flaws that made no sense - in the dwindling hope it would "get to the good part." While this movie is available for free, it's not worth it. It hasn't a good part. There is no pay-off to "Balloon Boy," no development of the paranormal aspects, the script is just in every way awful. The acting - what there is of acting, is merely acceptable. Neither good nor bad. The incorporation of the cell phone text messages does not though, pass for dialogue, drama or tension building. And boy happy howdy, does this sham of a movie rely on that. GET IT? SHE'S 22, SHE HAS A CELL PHONE! That doesn't make a movie. I'd tell the people behind this thing to try again. But, they sure weren't trying with this.

I truly think that if you would of torched the writer and fired the director that the whole ideology of the film together along with the actress could really come through to shine in the true light that it should of. I Love the actress and absolutely can not wait for more films to come with her in them! I liked the landlord in the film as well but just camera quality and the filming together made it seem a little soapy to me. That ultimately come down to a bad director. Really the only thing that I liked about this film is the fact that the actress seems to of had more experience with acting then both the writer and director combined.

This movie had so much potential but was a bit of a disappointment. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good..The story is a true story so they could have really took this to another level and built some substance. The main actress' acting was robotic and almost cringe. I couldn't get lost in the movie because they weren't selling me on their roles. It was obvious they are actors. Bless their hearts they tried... it could have been scarier but kinda felt like a fever dream instead. There were a few creepy parts though. I think they could have added scarier music to make you feel unease and get your adrenaline pumping. The end is really rushed and there is no build up. It just kinda wraps up where you are left wondering what just happened and you're wanting more substance and detail.
