Dimples

This film went places i did not expect it to go. It seemed typical on the surface, but really wasn't. As well, the over all ambiance and tone of the film was very creepy, well made. The acting was great for a horror film ( i know that sounds strange, but I have come to expect horrible acting in horror films) The cinematography was nice, a little to hand held for me at times, but that seems to be to "go to" aesthetic for horror films, well films in general these days. It worked in parts, but when things settled it did get a bit annoying. Nevertheless, the film flowed well kept me intrigued and ended a bit abruptly, but the TWIST i never saw coming. Left a definite impression.

The critiques here seem a bit lopsided. I saw this film sometime back at a screening a friend invited me to. I did not know the filmmakers personally, but I liked the film. I heard that they released film was a "different" cut from what I saw so I checked it out again and actually liked this cut better. I thought it was a strong effort the first time especially for a first time feature film director and a very interesting low budget horror film to boot. The acting was not bad, especially for a genre film. Madeline Zima's character, at times, could be a bit drab, but there were reasons for that in the story and she pulled it off. The characters surrounding her were well performed and not over the top as you see quite a bit in horror films. The scares were plenty, but not so many that you know one is around every corner. Now DIMPLES is was not the best film I ever seen by any means, but it was solid low budget fare at the very least. Some parts I felt more explanation was needed,but I did not see the twist coming and the ending (very untypical for horror) left me thinking about it for days. Some of the low grades and harsh comments here seem to have an ax to grind. I alway find it amusing when a film is bashed by someone who only has that one comment in their comment history. Plus when they attack with seathing relentlessness. At least that is what I feel. Now, let me repeat Dimples is not an award winner by any means, but is not a total stinker either. I am a filmmaker myself and I hate to see decent efforts get unfairly trashed...Now if you one a gore fest with no thinking involved, you wont like Dimples. But if you want a bit on the mind, I think you will...Cheers!

I decided to watch this movie after the review that kesjd gave and if I could ever meet this person well lets just pray I don't because I wasted over an hour of my life watching this catastrophe of a movie. This movie was beyond terrible. There was no plot, no sense whatsoever, very poor acting for people who have been acting a long time, did I mention that this movie made no sense whatsoever. At the end I was like WTF. Nothing was made clear at the end of the movie (nothing). Please avoid at all cost. The only reason I am giving this movie 1 is because there is nothing below like minus something. I swear the person (kesjd) had to have been paid to say something positive about this movie.

Some comments left by Knatreesha_21 could have been enough to inform you about the overall lack of quality you'd find watching this movie, but this movie was so bad, I felt the need to reiterate just how bad it really was. So, how bad was it? For one, and as mentioned, the acting was absolutely horrible. None of the characters portrayed anyone that would actually exist. The dialogue was boring, senseless and predictable. There was some acting that was actually so bad, it made you laugh; and this wasn't even considered a comedy. From the start of the movie, nothing made sense. 30 minutes into the movie, you are still wondering why nothing relevant has happened and where the story is going. It was as if they were trying to mix American Pie with some cheesy horror flick. You watch, only with hopes that something would be revealed; but by the time the movie ends, you realize that you lost an hour and a half of your precious life that you can't get back. It's a painful feeling, the realization that you actually sat there and watched the entire thing. It actually upset me so much, I went straight to bed; even though I had a few other movies lined up. So, how bad was it? I wasn't even registered on this site until today. I felt the need to register to let everyone know just how bad this movie is. So, how bad was it? It's called Dimples but there is no reference to dimples other than a stupid teenage scene where a boyfriend is doing a video of him and his girlfriend being together. The dialogue goes like this, Boy: "Let's call this video Dimples." Girl: "But I don't have any dimples." Yep, that's it. Nothing more. So, really, how bad was it? Trust me.... you don't want to find out for yourself.

"Dimples" is a very creepy movie and that's why I like it. This movie is well thought and well written. The actors were perfectly chosen for the film. In case you haven't noticed, most of them have been acting since they were kids. They all did a great job.

I especially love the actress (Summer Davis) that played the little girl. She was really good! Her acting is a lot better than the girl from the "Ring."

"Dimples" is pretty creepy himself. He's scarier than all of those characters like Freddy and Jason. I will definitely buy this movie. This movie is meant to be seen over and over again, especially on Halloween.
