Stephanie

Not gonna lie the beginning almost put me to sleep but the ending clears everything up and makes it so that the beginning was almost necessary.

I don't wanna give any details about the movie because it appears that the least you know the better the experience but I'll say to hang in there during the slow burner beginning but pay attention, when it picks up it really does a good job of tying things together while leaving room for a sequel of sorts.

Being a fan of Anna Torv (Fringe) and not having seen her in anything for a while (also do enjoy a good horror type movie), I decided to give this a go. The acting is great, albeit a very minimal cast. The young girl (Stephanie) carried the film well, with most of the scenes being her on her own. This is a bit of a mix of a movie, with some horror and sci-fi elements, it did kind of remind me of a Fringe event. Not sure why there are some low ratings here, can only assume some people went into this expecting something else. This movie will keep you guessing as to what is going on and doesn't disappoint. So if you like a bit of a break from the norm, give this one a go.

I don't remember if there were any jump scares in "Stephanie," because it had me always ready to jump, and that might be the best thing I could say about a horror movie these days.

This is the sort of horror movie that could only be made with excellence today. It's low budget, but looks great. It takes place primarily in one house, but doesn't become dull. Instead of special effects, It depends on atmosphere and its actors' performances. In the few places where there are special effects, they don't invite doubt.

I commend the actors, especially child actor Shree Crooks, who hits it out of the park. Was it possible before now to get child-actor performance this strong in a low budget horror movie? Crooks is in every scene and never slips.

My only caveat: the first part might not appeal to some viewers, but if they spend the time looking carefully, they'll see that things are even more amiss than they seem. And if they stay with it, they'll be happy anyway.

An excellent largely ignored film. They used to call these sleepers.

If you like horror, you will probably like this movie. I almost skipped it because the review site I looked at gave it a 4...its definitely better than that. Is it going to win an Oscar? No...But is it entertaining? Yes. The little girl did a great job, she has a bright future in acting. A couple of parts are kind of brutal, but hey, it is a horror movie. If in the mood for something different give it a chance, I was pleasantly surprised.

First off, the little girl is absolutely incredible and believable in this. I was not aware a child could be such a great actor! Holy smokes! Torv (oh, how I miss Fringe) was great and so was Grillo. The movie starts off with some nerve wracking moments when Stephanie is alone and having to fend for herself. The pace picks up when Mom & Dad return home. Yes, I would have loved more backstory, but otherwise it kept my attention and I enjoyed the suspense. I would watch again.
