Spirit of Fear

The worst movie you will literally waste your time watching. Self indulgent crap. There is no story. There are no characters. Nothing happens. There is no horror, it's not interesting. It's a waste of time. The worst movie you will literally waste your time watching. Self indulgent crap. There is no story. There are no characters. Nothing happens.

Oh, my. Where do I begin? Let me first start off by saying that I wanted to like this movie. I did not go into watching it in order to be disappointed by it; that was NOT my intention. It was a day off for me and I was excited about the prospects of it. It took place in some house, which I'm good with. It was doing a ranch-house-of-doom sort of thing like "Sinister" and I already had high hopes for it! I liked the first "Sinister" and if this movie had been anything like that, it would have been better. But it wasn't. It was poorly paced, the scares were practically non-existent and there wasn't even any real piece of dialogue until the middle of the film and he was talking to himself! It could have been so much better than it was. The main character spent the entire film looking highly concerned, as if he'd forgotten to do his taxes and it was April 14th. That's it.

The entire movie was a disappointment because all it was about was possession and it wasn't even one of the exciting possession-style films. I SERIOUSLY debated against watching this or watching "The Possession of Deborah Logan" again because it had been a while since I'd seen it; it was helluva film. I know now that I made the WRONG choice.

I feel like I've wasted time that I will never get back. Please, do not see this movie. I just want you to know that if you watched this movie, then walked outside and got hit by bus, THIS WAS LAST MOVIE YOU SAW. Don't do that to yourself. Please.

And the ONLY reason I gave it two stars as opposed to one was because they managed to convince my stupid @$$ to finish watching it. I really thought something, ANYTHING was going to happen! 😬🤣

A very well done film, constantly having you ask "what is next?" Leaving you in the dark but with enough information that you feel like you understand where it's going.

I thought it was great, my wife and I are huge film nerds and specifically love horror. Some of our favorites are the Conjuring and Insidious series, IT, Sinister etc. Spirit Of Fear is close to those films but their budget was definitely a factor that kept it from breaking into the 9/10 and 10/10 area.

Some people seem to not be satisfied but I don't understand them to be honest. Go in with no expectations and just enjoy it. Sure, it isn't the greatest film or horror film we've ever seen but in no way did it disappoint.

Enough of my rambling... 8/10.

Half a hour into this micro budget, film school nonsense and that was enough for me. I have better things to do with my time.

So why did I give a two out of ten? Because at least they had a go and got a movie made, that's why. It might not be for me but someone might like it.

For the record, the bits of the movie that I did see had a man wake up in a house covered in blood but seemingly with no idea how any of this happened. He wanders round the house in silence and tries to piece together how he arrived at this situation.

The post it notes bit has been lifted from 'Momento'. A much better movie than this.

As Mr Merenghi him self would say, it's more of a slight chill. If you like horror movies that are more on the creepy atmospheric side rather, you will probably enjoy this. To be honest, it's greatest sin is that it's not a computer game. I spent a lot of time thinking I would have enjoyed playing this.

The acting is good, for someone who must try his best to look confused and terrified for over an hour straight, and the plot twist is fairly predictable, but still a lot of fun.

In short, we gain a fun, atmospheric movie that entertains, and lose what would be the next critically acclaimed, forever cult horror game of a generation. I mourn our loss.

Still fun though.
