    More than a movie

    Quite possibly one of the best movies ever made - and not only within it's category, which is horror, drama, mystery and thriller.

    Supporting well casted actor in the beginning of the movie immediately dragged me to the omnious and creepy atmoshere of the movie.

    Having goosebumps the whole time, talented movie crew gave me no time to blink as I was sitting attached to my sofa as never before.

    You can literally see the strong parent-like connection between Lacy (briliantly portraited by talented Piper Watts) and unforgettable Dr. Camden (acted by her real father and director in the same person - Carl Watts) as he was trying to find the best possible parents for 8 years old Lucy and her doll.

    One last hat off goes to Lucy's deaf-muted best friend Henry - it almost appears like Ed Dyer is disabled also in real life, which he isnt.

    10 out of 10 without any doubt. I will try to make sure as many people as possible see this movie.

    *sigh*

    Don't know why this movie showed up on my Apple TV in the horror section. But since I had already seen the rest of the bunch, I rented this one. Since I managed to see it through without going to bed, it gets two stars.

    The only person doing a decent acting, is the new father. The quality of the plot almost made me think of "Planet 9 from outer space".

    But then I didn't know this was an indie until I read the other comments. And I suspect most of the film's budget went into paying 30 people to give this movie 10 stars and favorable reviews.

    Lesson learned: Apple isn't all about quality anymore, at least not in the TV business.

    Full of suspense!

    The first thought that came to mind when I viewed this film was, "Wow, for an independent production, these are some great actors!". I'm very impressed by the young talent in the movie. Also, the exciting plot kept me on the edge of my seat, always wondering what would happen next and how the characters would pull through. There are many diverse elements that contribute to the intriguing complexity of this script. This film was well cast as the actors were totally believable. The ending was shocking and hard to predict. I had envisioned other scenarios for the ending , but not the one that really happened. Like a lot of indie films, this one falls into several genres, horror, drama, crime, thriller, mystery. Overall , I would highly recommend this film if you are into these genres.

    I loved this movie!

    If you love horror movies...then brace yourself for an entertainment adventure. Although this movie is an independent film, in my opinion, it mirror's a big budget production. It has excitement, mystery and a great cast of actors. It offer's subtle messages through out the film that will keep you holding on to your seat. It's as suspenseful as it is scary. The doll looks creepy doesn't it? I loved how REAL the movie felt and looked...especially the death scenes. What a great addition to a fun filled horror night of movies during a Halloween party. Also, Piper didn't an amazing job as the "evil" little girl. I can't wait to see her in more movies. Definitely worth watching!

    Good Indie Horror

    This is not your typical slasher / horror flick.

    Creepy is the best way to describe this film because of the actions of the little girl and her freaky doll. Cleverly written and well cast, this film is kind of a crime / mystery/ horror/ drama.

    No big stars in this film but the acting that the main characters delivered was A list. This film is definitely one of the best independent films I have seen in the horror genre.

    The music, photography, editing, casting, etc. were all first class. The story itself keeps you guessing. You always wonder when the next shoe will drop. There are some colorful and interesting supporting characters. The school principal, priest, funeral guy, and Bailey's dad to mention a few. You will get your money's worth if you like creepy, clever, horror flicks.
