I honestly don’t know why this film is rated so low on the usual sites. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this movie. It starts slowly but the whole time it’s like riding up the first hill on a giant roller coaster. It builds and builds. It’s superbly acted and the photography is fantastic. If you are a fan of horror you will enjoy this one

I did not find this movie suspenseful or any kind of an interesting character study. It was quite boring. The only thing that kept me watching was a mild curiosity to find out what was actually happening and I thought Polanski, in the lead role was great. They never explain anything but the last 15 minutes is really great

The one star rating isn’t really how I feel about the movie it just enabled me to write the review. This movie surprised me more than nearly any I can think of. I believe it’s because the little I read about it focused more on the production than the story. I was expecting a slice of Americana during the depression with some gangsters thrown in to give it a little excitement. I’m a big fan of horror movies but I’ve never seen anything as ugly and brutal as this story. I nearly had to stop watching. The ending wraps it up nicely.The acting is fantastic. Watch at your own risk…

Absolute pointless nonsense. It’s not even worth watching for the gore. What a waste of time

I can’t say that this is the worst film I’ve ever seen because it didn’t even stir that much emotion. I have absolutely no idea why this was made or what the point of making it is supposed to be. I figured out the “big twist” ending as “they” got out of the taxi in the first 5 minutes of the movie. The dialogue was so boring and meaningless and the music so tedious. Please don’t waste your time. I noticed a couple of 5 star reviews. Pay no attention to them. There is nothing to be gained from watching this

I really liked this movie. It had atmosphere and dread it wasn’t overly viscous or gory but when they were used they hit. All of the performances were great. There are a couple of reviews here that talk about how the the mother still lived even though the power went out. One person said it’s because that was all just a ruse and she was already dead and another just straight up thought that the power outage should have killed her. Do you really think everyone on life support dies when a thunderstorm knocks the power out for a couple hours? Use your brains. She was not already dead she had to stay alive to transfer her spirit. The reason the power outage didn’t shut down her life support is because ventilators have back up batteries that kick in when the power goes out. The ending got a little squirlley but overall this is an excellent horror movie even with the dubs

I came to this movie from a YouTube review where the person said it was the scariest movie they had ever seen and that it had terrified them several times with rewatching. I do not agree. I don’t know why this is called a horror movie. It wasn’t scary or creepy or dreadful. It’s just a bunch of grainy recordings and photos of people and rooms with what looks like something that could be an apparition in the background. That’s it, that’s the whole movie

This movie really surprised me. No jump scares or silly makeup jobs, it’s all about atmosphere and acting. The cast is led by three veteran actors but it is the young actors in the cast that just did great jobs. The lead, who at first I could not see as Poe, by the end is transformed. I was also already a fan of Callum Woodhouse from shows like The Durrels and All Creatures Great And Small. Definitely worth a watch if you’re a true fan of the genre

This is the dumbest most pointless waste of time I’ve ever spent watching…anything, something? I don’t even know what this is supposed to be but a horror movie it ain’t. There’s like a dozen words spoken the entire film. There are no characters. I’m sure a bunch of goofy film students and critics that are afraid of being called stupid will come up with some kind of deep meaning for this but please please don’t waste your time…unless of course you’re a goofy film student then have at it. I have an edit here: I just looked at the Rotten Tomatoes score it’s critic score of 80% and audience 20% so there ya go

I just rewatched this movie I think for the third time although the second viewing was many years ago. I really enjoyed this, it is fun and intriguing. I don’t see it as “straying from the original series” at all. On the contrary I think this has more of the series feel than any of the others. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but its interesting and the actor playing Sybock is phenomenal. It’s all about family fun and adventure which to me is Star Trek. If I were to recommend any of the Star Trek films to a family with kids of varying ages this would be my pick.
