6.4 IMDb? Really..!?? I am a true horror genre fan, but this was absolutely unwatchable, terrible acting, I tried to watch it for 10 minutes, then I realised it was getting even worse, so I started to fast-forward it just to see if there is something interesting about it. Believe me, there's not! Keep away and don't waste your time...
The movie is suspiciously titled as Ouija 3 and I thought it was another chapter in that movie series. That wasn't the case. Instead we are given a movie with poor acting performances, bad direction, weak story, and laughable production quality. The editing wasn't that bad and the music was a hit-or-miss at different points. I did however like the makeup job on the clown. Nicely done! Altogether though this movie was not worth my time.
Looks like a film school project. At least production values are passable. Well lit, sound adequate, pacing works. Passing grade for class project, but unacceptable as a commercial release.
Saw 'Charlie Charlie' as someone with an appreciation for horror and who found the premise oddly interesting. Despite it not being a unique one and one that could have gone either way in execution, it sounded pretty decent and if done right could have made a guilty pleasure sort of film.
What 'Charlie Charlie' was instead was a very lame, if not irredeemable, film that did very little with its premise and its setting. The setting is the best thing about the film, to me also the only good thing, and is pretty creepy. Even that feels wasted, a shame because it was the one thing that was done pretty well and deserved better than what the rest of 'Charlie Charlie' turned out to be. Didn't get the sense as such that it didn't even try, other low-budget films seen recently have done a far worse job at that, but did get the sense that it didn't do what to do with itself.
The setting apart, 'Charlie Charlie' looks cheap. Photography was drab and the editing, while not incoherent as such, was sloppy. Faring worst were the special effects, their ineptitude and intelligence insulting cheapness being an assault on the senses.
'Charlie Charlie' was not menacing or threatening, actually veering on the goofy side of things. In all fairness the material was cheesy and lacking in suspense, and the action was not disturbing, brutal or scary.
Its obvious and over-bearing sound really annoys and hinders the impact of any scares or suspense when they are telegraphed when being built up that they become predictable. The music is forgettable and doesn't always fit.
Script constantly sounds stilted and even cheesier than a large cheeseburger. The story is dull, lacking in any kind of atmosphere, tension or suspense and insults the intelligence by how ridiculous and confused it tends to be.
No better news about the characters or acting, the latter being one of the worst assets of 'Charlie Charlie'. The characters are bland and obnoxious, either or and in a few cases both, with truly dumb illogical decision making that makes them and even the viewer stupid and make one endear to them even less (and you don't even like them in the first place). The acting is a bad mix of over-compensating and disinterested, the female cast are just terrible.
Overall, poor. 2/10 Bethany Cox

if I could have given a minus 1 I would.thought this was a great looking horror movie but from the start knew I had made a huge mistake.couple of the males acted well but the women were terrible,the policeman unbelievable and the whole plot stupid.least favourite part was the phone girl,wanted to rip it out of her hands.the plot wasn't made clear and the introduction of a couple in a car made no sense.A former actor being bought back made no sense either.the masks worn by the haunted house males were actually very good. LOVE horror,this was only fit for the cutting room floor. it looks like an old film but isn't and with the right actors and an understandable story line it could have been so good
