A shockingly horrible horror movie. Increasingly unlikeable characters, nonsensical, yet still terribly boring plot. The characters have no motivations or interests, so is impossible to understand why they do what they do. The production and filmaking techniques are shoddy at best and grade school samsung footage at best. There are so many more films in the low budget horror category that yield a more enjoyable viewing experience, and don't get me wrong, I love a good tragically written horror film with no discernible plot or message, but trust me, this is not it. Do yourself a favour and do not waste your time. Horrible film.
This was a film that stood out. It was a low budget film that entertains the audience by focusing on telling a good story. One thing I really liked about it was that I couldn't tell what was going to happen in advance. The film was suspenseful, unique and original.
The film kept me on my seat. It was both a horror film and a thriller. It also had a feel to it that made me want to keep watching. The direction that the film took and the acting performances were great. This is a perfect example of how a film doesn't need to have a high budget to be entertaining. Some of the most entertaining horror films of all time are low budget, and this is a film that I will remember.

Candlewood, effortlessly blends suspense, drama, and a mesmerizing musical score. From the opening scenes to the climactic moments, the film kept me on the edge of my seat, hooked by its unpredictable twists. The characters undergo a captivating evolution, portrayed with depth and authenticity by a stellar cast. The interconnected subplots add complexity to the narrative, keeping the audience guessing until the final frame. What sets this film apart is its exceptional use of music - a carefully curated soundtrack that not only complements each scene but also becomes a driving force behind the emotional impact.
"I went into Candlewood hoping for a solid horror film, but what I got was something much more profound. From the very first scene, I was hooked - not just by the creepy atmosphere but by the emotional undercurrents running throughout the film. The director, Myke Furhman, did an incredible job of blending the supernatural with human emotions, making the horror feel real and impactful. I was especially moved by the way the characters dealt with their personal struggles amidst the terror. It was a beautifully layered film, and I can't wait to see it again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a horror movie that actually has heart.
Candlewood brings a local legend to life on a small budget, delivering an entertaining experience that kept me on the edge of my seat! From the opening scene to the end, the cast of creepy oddball characters and the eerie forest and overcast sky set the perfect mood for haunting unease. Along with well-timed, subtle comedy, a string of cleverly placed clues left me wanting to watch it once more to catch every well-thought-out detail. Candlewood stands as a testament to the remarkable power of storytelling, demonstrating its ability to transcend the limitations of budgetary constraints and deliver a great night at the cinema!
