Breathing In

I would not delve into the plot since the other reviewers have already contributed. However, it's needless to say that it deals with dark magic and human tragedy. The best treat in this movie was Michele Burgers. Although this is the first film I have seen her in, the captivating performance and remarkable versatility of her acting kept me glued to this movie. She had a commanding presence in every scene.

The cinematography is excellent, and the atmosphere is quite menacing. If you are looking for a different horror movie than your usual haunted house or demonic possession, give Breathing In a try.

This movie has a short cast to tell a story, a story that is worth watching till the end. Folklore type film with many questions. Like folklore films it takes it's time with lots of "what" moments. The cast is excellent, the two females are great, the main male cast member does a great job at keeping the film moving. It's slow but powerful, and I'll watch it again because in such movies you always miss the little things. I love these types of films, not all blood, guts or gore, but a seasoned story to tell about the camp fire. Enjoy! I see the film did win an award, I would have liked more since it would promote more investment in these types of film that make you think.

Absolutely loved this movie! It's dark and creepy as hell and keeps you guessing. The dark and dreamy, nightmarish scenes get under your skin like the slimy maggots ... ok I will not spoil the surprise. I found this movie mesmerizing! The acting was fantastic and the scenery and quick shots of flashbacks are so vivid and make you want to know more. I can't wait to watch it again so I can pick up on more of the hidden or more obscure parts of the story. This is what more horror movies need to shoot for. Not all horror has to have intense gore and special effects. I can't wait to read more about this director and the original story which was adapted for screen. If this is a book I want to read it!

Well acted cast with boring scenery. Dark drab storyline, dialog and lighting. These limitations were confirmed at the end when I realized it was a play made into a movie. Had I know going into it, I likely would not have wasted my time.

"Breathing In" left much to be desired. Despite strong performances from the cast, the film's dialogue and storyline felt like they dragged on endlessly, making the experience tedious. The scenery, unfortunately, mirrored this sentiment-drab and dark without much to captivate the audience. Overall, it felt nightmarish to watch, making it hard to stay engaged. It was a missed opportunity for what could have been a compelling story.

Haven't written a review for a long while since imdb made it mandatory I write a dissertation before I get published. So any opportunity I get where I can bash the imdb after being a 20 year user and waste a lot of words giving my outstanding opinion and congradulating myself for being a wisenheimer, I'll take it.

My review: I enjoyed this movie because I was in a chillin mood and felt like a horror movie. It was a slow burn, like sipping a 90 proof bourbon. I enjoyed the lead actress Michele Burgers, who was very entertaining and clearly very talented and appealing to this mature gentleman.

The film explored new territory for me perhaps of some mythological creature of Zef folklore I don't know of. But it had a succubus / vampire vibe going on.

I'd enjoy seeing a sequel which finds the daughter her foretold love, and encourage Jaco to do it.
