Innocence

This film passed a rainy Sunday afternoon. I have to admit my attention wavered a few times resulting in having to rewind on a couple of occasions. I've seen worse films but the horror was woefully lacking. Some great actors in this who were a bit wasted on the story. If you want to see Kelly Reilly at her best I recommend you ditch this film and watch Eden Lake. Reilly's sometimes breathless over acting is so much more appropriate to the film Eden Lake and she puts in an "Edge of your seat" performance. Innocence? An ok film but distinctly lacking in something.

Absolutely terrible, the acting is lazy, it's as if everyone is on valium, they tried to put a few jump scares in to keep you interested, which doesn't really work, and the grand finale wasn't grand, was over before it started.

I wasn't expecting much and that's exactly what I got.

Suggested as a thriller, it's about as thrilling as a Victoria sponge, agonisingly slow with a truly ridiculous ending that truly sums up thrillers made over the last decade, dire.

Just Dave yourself the agony, I truly recommend you watching an episode of Murder she wrote instead of this, at least they're entertaining and contain a degree of mystery.

I love Kelly Reilly, but she is totally wasted, a role I'm sorry to say that is totally beneath her talents.

Every cliche under the sun imaginable, join us...... No thanks, I'd rather clean the conservatory. 2/10.

The other reviewer of this movie sure is hung up on Twilight for some reason. This movie has a good plot, nice acting, and is short and sweet. I have no idea how the other reviewer attributed this movie to Twilight except for the cover and with a pretty girl on it. If you've seen Dario Argento's Susperia, then you will have a better idea of what this movie is about which has nothing to do with vampires. My only complainant would be that the movie moves along a little slowly but at less than 90 minutes, it doesn't drag on and on to boredom after you realize what's going on. With so much garbage horror movies out there these days, this movie is well worth a watch.

Innocence: Yet another girl starts at a new school and something spooky is going on. In this case it's an upscale Manhattan prep school, Hamilto, centuries old, exclusive. A girl jumps off a school building almost hitting Beckett, the new girl. There is an odd atmosphere, in the classrooms, the corridors, some Hamilton old girls (including teachers) have a creepy book club. Beckett investigates and finds that another two girls have committed suicide. There is a nest of Vampires in the school! This tale unfolds slowly and while a nice broody, Gothic atmosphere builds up it is overlong. Interesting Vampire action without the overuse of special effects but this might have worked better as an episode of an anthology series. Directed/Co-written by Hilary Brougher. On Netflix. 6/10.
