The Harrowing

This low budget twisted thriller had some great acting by Matthew Tompkins (lead actor) but even his acting chops couldn't bring this one out of the sloppy script. The premise is original enough and redone with a new script and a bit more money thrown at it, it could become one of the greats. It's lacking in good CGI's and the "demons" leave a lot to be desired as for being frightening. It's worth a watch just for the acting and originality.

Outstanding performances and a mindbending, twisty plot make this one a must see for horror and psycho-thriller fans. It starts as a procedural cop drama and ends somewhere between Psycho, Shutter Island and Jacob's Ladder.

Matthew Tompkins nails the war-weary Det. Calhoun, whose burdens of past mistakes haunt his core. That's where Jon Keeye's script and sure-handed direction blend reality and nightmare.

Adding to mystery is a great mix of characters who include genre mainstays Michael Ironside, Arnold Vosloo and Morgana Shaw.

An outstanding score, cinematography and FX are absolutely to be applauded.

Happy to be a part of and to recommend.

In the latest offering from the team of Jon Keeyes and Mathew Tompkins, The Harrowing speeds along like a fever dream. After a series of brutal murders, Det. Ryan Calhoun begins to believe there may be demonic involvement. Or is he losing his mind? I won't give it away here, mostly because after several viewings...I'm not sure. With each viewing I can argue either case. The supporting cast is great starting with the magnificent Arnold Vosloo and Michael Ironside. Also noteworthy is Morgana Shaw as a mystery woman who 'happens' to show up whenever Calhoun least expects. Tompkins brings Calhoun's uncertainty, drive, vulnerability and horror (and madness?) to life in a career high performance.

Looking for a movie with suspense and twists? Check this one out, had me on the edge of my seat. Loved it!

Jon Keeyes best film to date. Matthew Tompkins was brilliant as lead and the supporting cast did not disappoint. Jon and Matthew have proven once again what a great team they make.

I'm not going to spoil a moment but pay attention to details. Pay attention to everything. I was so blown away at one point I had to rewind and watch it again just to make sure I fully grasped that twist.

Jon Keeyes should write a Black Mirror episode. Just saying.
