The Burned Over District

This starts with a terrible accident where a woman dies. In the aftermath, her widowed husband tries to make sense of what has happened whilst his family rally around him. I could not have guessed where this was going and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this movie. It has some truly scary moments and bags of atmosphere. The acting feels natural and whilst this isn't a mega budget production, it shows real promise for all the key players. I will certainly be looking out for other movies from this team. It's dark and brooding but not in a contrived way. Some scenes are difficult to watch but not lingering. I'd definitely recommend this, give it a go!

We were looking for a new horror movie similar to The Endless or The Void and decided to watch this movie based on the very high reviews but after watching the movie feel the reviews may be a bit padded.

We went into this movie with the expectation of a low budget movie that comes with mediocre film and sound direction with the hope of an interesting and unique story but sadly were disappointed. The story made little to no sense, there was missing pieces of backstory that would have helped with the story plot, and then story bits that were completely irrelevant. The story starts with a mystery with a likely supernatural backing that devolves into weird nonsensical cosmic horror with a splash of 80s slasher horror.

I would say the talent behind this movie have promise and could really do well down the road but they unfortunately missed the mark on this one.

The Burned Over District offers a compelling mix of horror, suspense, love, and gore, making for a gripping viewing experience. Throughout the film, a tangible sense of unease keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, while Mike Chibante's exceptional score further enhances the atmosphere. Vince and James Coleman have crafted a weighty narrative that begins explosively and gradually unfolds into unexpected territory. Their work on this film showcases their talent and creativity, offering a refreshing departure from conventional storytelling. As a viewer, I found it exhilarating to watch something different and look forward to seeing more from the Coleman Brothers in the future. Overall, I would rate The Burned Over District a perfect 10/10 for its outstanding execution and immersive storytelling.

The film starts as a slow burn leading up to the mayhem and the build was worth that wait! The creepy factor is so good and at times really uncomfortable (as it should be for a horror/thriller). The blood and gore and deaths are so well done - being shocking and believable. My favorite thing about this film is that it is truly driven by the main characters - the relationship between Katie and Will and their individual journies. The antics of the cult are an added bonus of creepy, weirdness, as some of what you expect to happen does, but other moments are still shocking and disturbing. Katie and Will pull you along with the story and have a relatability that makes you want to see one or both of them make it out of this!

Wow, I have to say I'm impressed! The Coleman Brothers are extremely talented! I enjoyed the thrill of this movie, it really kept you on your toes. The detail in the storyline was really invigorating. The trailer is originally what had gotten me hooked. It certainly kept you on your toes and wanting to know more so you have to watch the movie. I enjoyed this very very much. It's difficult to give any review with out giving it away- I would absolutely recommend watching this movie more than one time. Definitely a great film. Great job! I can not wait to see what more The Coleman brothers have in store!
