Most horror films dehumanise men, regardless of the sex of the victims; this one has a female villain, and it doesn't work any better. Amanda is out of work and desperately seeking to get away from her alcoholic mother. Out of the blue she lands a job that is not really commuting distance, so it is agreed she will stay over during the week. It entails working at a small hotel in the middle of nowhere, one that doesn't appear to have any guests, and is run by a matronly old woman, and her son who although not an imbecile is totally under his mother's thumb.

Three weeks or so into her tenure, Amanda receives some startling news: she is pregnant. This is startling indeed because she has not had sex, like ever. Difficult to believe in this day and age outside of an Amish, Moslem or Orthodox Jewish sect. So how did she get pregnant? The flashback is, well, grotesque, and that's without the incest. The woman who runs the hotel is clearly as mad as a box of frogs if she thinks she can get away with what she plans.

There would have been a relatively happy ending, but they had to go and spoilt it. Don't watch this one if you are easily disturbed; stick to films that won't give you nightmares, like those about zombies and vampires.

OK good points, the premise of the story is good, Marlyn Mason is actually not bad at all, Abby Wathen isn't too bad really, butt hat's it. The screenplay is dire, my guess is some high school film students could do better with a £150 video camera and a week to plan a movie. The photography is dire with poor lighting and exposure, angles etc. The direction is erm...missing. lol This is a perfect movie if you have a first date and want to make sure that date focuses on you because they are going to spend only 5 minutes before realising what rubbish this is.

I have pretty low standards and I don't ever care to write reviews but I've GOT to say that THIS was the worse movie I've ever watched. The. Worst. You can tell that there was no budget. Like, at all.

Medium shot, close up, medium shot, close up, medium shot, close up, long shot, medium shot, break the 180 degree rule, long shot....

Total rubbish. Story is drivel. Acting is awful. Characters aren't in any way shape or form believable. Totally totally pointless and bland.

Don't even bother..... really don't...

This movie has been done with a small budget and it shows. There is nothing good that can be said about it. Acting is horrible, script is idiotic and even the fake blood looks like ketchup. I really had to struggle to watch this trash to the end, and the ending was ridiculously stupid.

Reading some peoples reviews on this is pitiful. The story is solid, acting is good the camera work could be better (seeing camera man in window of Sheriff Joe's Jeep outside the restaurant), sound is ok. Over all it's a good film, not every movie needs to be on a super explosive Hollywood budget. Like many die hard horror fans, we will watch good, bad and really bad and somewhere in-between each of those is the "it's not bad but not good either". This movie is certainly not an edge of a seat sitter or splatter/slasher flick but it does tell a good story and it shows some good acting by leads.

From the outset it was obvious this was going to be cheap and shabby, in my defence I was busy doing something else while watching. The plot was ridiculous as was the script; in fact it was awful in just about every way. Just avoid this there is nothing at all to be gained from watching it.

I can generally watch most films and see some good in them, this! well 1 star and calling it tosh is being polite. Please don't waste your life watching this, I did and I so so so regret it.

A unemployed woman finds a job in a ugly looking hotel where she meet an old woman who hires her. The woman who seems very nice has a dark secret, and a dark agenda. Besetment is obviously a B-movie, there's no doubt about that, however you don't see that in the production, direction, maybe in the acting, nothing else.

You can tell it's extremely low production, but it was a really interesting/messed up plot. Watchable for horror fans.

This film could have been much better if it was a bit longer and added some more 'meat' to the characters. The ending seemed very rushed and although it was more symbolic then adding much to the film! I thought the cast was good and the characters were also very good! It didn't drag as it was only one hour 15 minutes long! I think they should have added an extra 15 minutes at the end to show the child's story and this could have lead to another film... I feel this was a good 5 or 6 out of 10 film overall! But missing some key details and back stories of all characters! A small cast but a well worked film!

There's so many mistakes involving continuity in this film that by early on during the scenes where Mildred meets Amanda for the first time, but already knows exactly who she is, or when Mildred is serving whiskey shots to Amanda then puts the cap on the bottle and sets it down with cap magically off the bottle again, it was clear that simply watching for all the ridiculous basic filmmaking screw-ups was going to be immensely more entertaining than attempting to watch this movie as a serious work could ever be.

Outrageous in good ways, acting is fine, especially the old lady

I have learned that low star rating movies may not be that bad. Low budget and independent movies seem to provide stories a little out there, but that can be a good thing. Single woman living with alcoholic mom finally gets a job which even gives her a place to live. Charming little town with strange folk. Hotel owner is a seemingly 'perfect' business owner and charming long time resident. Something has to be amiss right? The horror is the act which the main character ensures and the twisted villain.

Perfect running time and to the point.

I noticed lack of females, residents and even tourists which was fine cause I focused on the story.
