Dark Hearts

Enjoyed watching the entire Dark Hearts series on my iPhone for a very intimate viewing experience. It felt like I was right there with the characters and enabled me to remain fully engaged in the story throughout.

The undisclosed release schedule really builds anticipation, in that you never know when you'll receive the next chapter. Enabling push notifications on your device ensures you're immediately notified and can watch that next chapter the second it's released!!

Often times, I don't have a span of two hours to sit down and watch an entire movie or even 45 minutes to watch a taped program. That's what makes this style of story-telling and delivery from Hooked Digital Media so appealing to me. The story comes to you in very compelling, yet shorter segments, which really suit my media viewing lifestyle.

Can't wait to see what's coming next...

a previous reviewer said the music and plot was good but gave the movie 5 stars.

To top it off they added nothing of substance to explain the failing 5 star review.

They even recommended the movie to everyone.

The reviewer has not seen the entire movie as the entire Film has not been seen by the public.

My review: great update to the original. When you start the app You are greeted by an awesome openings I sequence that reminds Me of a cross between tales from the crypt and the outer limits. As of this review I have seen 16 Chapters and what I've seen far surpasses the first Haunting Melissa.

Dark Hearts: The Secret of Haunting Melissa boasts over three hours of movie in 25 chapters. The first seven chapters are free and consist of short sneak peeks of a great sequel that boasts an apparent greater amount of love (and budget).

the storyline was good, i enjoyed the film but felt it lacks substance and doesn't quite grip you to the edge of your seat.

The music used it nice, it has a good ring to it and helps build suspense well.

The acting is alright but not great, this is a bit of a let down but i suppose its just the way it is when the budget isn't massive. Maybe I just have too high expectations for films, I think improvements could be made but I still would recommend watching at it is still enjoyable and I like many of the touches used in the actual directing. horror is one of them genres where you are drawn in by the dark use of colours, the gore and scare factor, i think its essential that the production is to a high standard otherwise films will be less effective.

The story is good, slow at times but does keep you "hooked" My problem is with the delivery method. You have to wait for the next episode, in general 24 hours. Ummmmm, I gave you money, could you loosen up a bit. They say for the suspense, yeah, don't need that.

Second, how much money do I have to give you? I've already given you 10 bucks. One of the heads, I think his name is Neal, said if they can get the funding there will be a third installment so share it!! Well it seems you've already filmed the whole thing, how many more installments left. Is this the new micro-purchase we can expect from the film industry? Really, I don't want to shell out 30 bucks to watch a movie on my phone.

In a way I find this very deceptive.

Story is an 8/10, the micro-transactions 3/10.

I didn't expect much from this, I'm honestly not a sequel person. The fact I can now stream it was my deal breaker and I figured I'd watch the 8 short freebie scions to make up my mind.

By the time I was done my credit card was out to pay for the season pass. I am not disappointed. It appears the budget is a bit larger as there are more extras in scenes (the mental hospital comes to mind).

Yes, the delivery method will make you wait in anticipation for each next chapter. Never fear! If you re watch earlier chapters small things have changed.and there is also a bulletin board to discuss each session.

I'm picky about my horror films, this is a keeper.
