Ashes

Fun mix of horror with dashes of comedy. And yes, fairly spooky at times...Proof once more that small budget Indy movies that are well written, acted, and given a new or novel storyline can be very entertaining.

It's the ideal blend of comedy and horror, with the mockumentary style adding a great twist. It begins all sweet and innocent, then suddenly turns into a full-on scary movie. The humor comes in at just the right moments, giving you a break from the fear. The actors did an amazing job. Ignore the negative reviews; the dynamic between the grandmother and mother is hilarious. I would've loved to be part of this set-it looks like they had a blast making it. This movie is a wild ride from start to finish, keeping you on the edge of your seat while also making you laugh out loud. The balance between scares and laughs is spot on, making it a must-watch. If you're a fan of horror comedies, this is definitely one to add to your list.

A surprisingly well-done horror. It's half mockumentary, featuring interviews with the characters about their haunted experiences, which make up the rest of the film. It does admittedly have a bit of a languid ending, but the proper creepy moments and even a few good laughs throughout make up for it, in my humble opinion. It seems to me to be a commentary on matriarchy, which others might have picked up on if they gave it more than 10-15 minutes. But, hey, I guess female-led horror films aren't for ever fanboy with a keyboard. Anyhow, it definitely doesn't deserve 1 star, by a long shot.

It's tough to get the horror/comedy angle right in a film. Too far one direction and there aren't really scary parts. Too far the other, and the funny parts seem like an afterthought. Ashes has a great vibe.

Just another piece of trash that someone spent a maximum of $10,000.00 total budget to make. Even worse, the story is as bad as the acting and everything else about this "film".
