Come Back to Me

'Come Back to Me' is a reasonably good horror movie I'd have to say. It starts off with a scene involving a violent, bloody murder and I thought "here we go again" into the "seen it all before" category, but I was wrong. The movie gets better and better as it goes on, until the conclusion which is very well executed and clever.

It's based on the novel 'The Resurrectionist'. I don't imagine many horror movies are based on books but ones that are often seem to have an extra layer of quality to them. The frights are OK without being ever being brilliantly executed. There is an overall chill to the atmosphere though, which keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat. There are of course the usual instances of characters doing completely unrealistic and unreasonable things, but if you can find me a horror movie without an example of that I'd like to see it. Altogether a good effort.

That was a weird movie and I must say, I've never seen that before. I did not expect it. Its not a masterpiece by any means but it sure gets points for originality. Not all of the character's choices of actions made complete sense but its more than forgivable all things considered. I liked it and do recommend.

Although it is a tame version of the novel; and there is no way the novel could be made for the screen as it is too graphic, it is a rather unique idea and the toned down version translates quite well onto the big screen with good performances from all concerned.

Quite disturbing with some real atmosphere and topping the cherry on the cake with a superlative end sequence you will not be expecting; when a film delivers something you are not expecting then it is a bonus. This is one of the best, what I would call "true horror" films I have seen this year.

I started watching this movie not expecting much. I mostly watched it because I wanted to watch something scary but not really scary. Initially I thought I had the movie figured out from the get go and I kind of did but I enjoyed the twist and particularly the surprise ending. All in all I was pleasantly surprised. I found it to be an interesting concept, it drew me in and had me thinking about after the movie was over. The acting wasn't award winning but I feel the story made up for it. I was instantly uncomfortable whenever Dale was on the the screen which I loved. The movie is on Netflix so there is nothing to lose in checking it out. I recommend it.

This film was a pleasant surprise! It keeps you wondering throughout the initial half, and delivers deftly conceived twists as the story progresses. Of course, like any film that deals with extraordinary phenomena, you have to be willing to suspend your incredulity for the sake of entertainment. The acting is good, and the production value is decent for a DtDVD film. I won't do any spoilers, since most of the entertainment value is derived from keeping the audience guessing about what's going on.

Just don't give up on this one early on when things don't seem to make sense.

Enjoy!
