Come Back to Me

Unique, twisted story with a truly horrific twist ending. Well acted by all involved; "Dale" left me feeling very uneasy whenever he was on the screen. The wife was a little obnoxious, but that just made the character feel more three-dimensional. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by this sleepy little creeper. Dark photography and ominous music helped to shape this film. I wasn't really hoping for too much with this movie, but am glad I watched it. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who enjoys horrors, psychological and supernatural thrillers: that being said, it is definitely not for everybody, as some will no doubt find it to be slow, boring or passé.

This no-name cast, low budget film pleasantly surprised me. The weird and unique premise plays out as a good mix of psychological thriller/supernatural horror. Yes, there are some eye-roll-inducing moments and general cheesiness in parts, but overall it's well done with a satisfying ending. (Random side note: the lead actress looks just like Kellie Pickler.)

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.

First let me note that I've been a horror movie fan since age 5, and I've seen thousands of films in the genre. I would stack this one up against almost any I've seen, including such classics as "the Texas Chainsaw Massacre" by Toby Hooper and David Cronenberg's "Videodrome"; it's truly a unique, thoughtful, and disturbing film.

The film effortlessly weaves the ordinary horror of a stalker movie with the extraordinary horror of the supernatural. The director knows when to pile on the gore and when to hold discreetly back; the big fright scenes hit me with a physical impact that I haven't experienced in any film in a long time. The actors were completely unfamiliar to me--which made it easier to see and accept them as the characters, as opposed to their real selves, of course--and thoroughly convincing in their roles. Most horror movies rely on bad decisions by the characters--often inexplicably bad decisions--to drive the plot; not this one. The characters behave logically given their beliefs, and the plot is driven by their increasingly acute understanding of their situation, not by the kind of artificial idiocy that screenwriters turn to when they can't figure out a good reason why any sane person would open the door to the monster's lair.

Finally, the film is constructed so as to keep the audience guessing about what's real and what's not for almost its entire length. It's rare that a director can pull the audience's strings so effectively, over and over, without giving anything away. The logic of the film is satisfying, and it builds to a remarkably powerful conclusion that is both surprising and entirely earned.

I repeat that this overlooked movie is one of the best I've seen in the genre. If your taste in horror movies runs to none, or to the excuses for nonstop on screen dismemberment that many modern horror films embody, you may find it not to your liking. If you want a film that combines visceral horror with mystery and a highly original concept, this is for you.

This is better than an average low budget movie that I will be recommending to friends.

The acting and transitioning of scenes are the only real complaint that I have. It was just lacking that polished feel that you really want to see in every movie you watch. Some scenes were noticeably overacted and, personally, when I see overacted moments it really distracts me from the investments I have made towards the characters and subject. I was building that captivation and then became distracted and I really wished I could've kept that throughout the entire film. With that said, it wasn't so bad that I wanted to stop. I did stay interested.

The best thing about this movie was the story it was telling. I absolutely loved the story. So much that I think that this is a movie worth remaking with a much larger budget. There is so much more that could be done with the right financial backing. This is also the type of movie that could spawn sequels.

If you have the opportunity, check it out. It's not the best quality but it will hold your attention and it is worth watching.
