Reviews

Ghai, Harris, and Lawman yet again peddling their nonsense.

They have no credibility whatsoever - well, except for the myth they create of themselves.

Lawman is particularly annoying with his fantastic claims - particularly of being an 'ordained exorcist'. Doesn't he know exorcists are APPOINTED within the Catholic church? Obviously the truth doesn't matter to him as long as he can make some cash from his con.

Then we have Ghai, another fool who thinks he knows everything, but it soon becomes clear he knows nothing as soon as he opens his mouth. Or perhaps he knows very well he knows nothing an relies on the gullibility of the audience.

What to say about Harris. She claims to have all kinds of qualifications, from psychologist to herbalist, and an expert on haunted dolls. She still make claims about being a company owner - one which folded in 2015. Just another chancer.

And all of this really shines through in the programme, which is as ridiculous as the three presenters. It is junk.

OK, I get the story, but it's just not very interesting. There isn't enough in it to fill the time this film was given. Subsequently, this totally fails to engage the viewer, who is left as an outside observer to lots of filler content waiting for something meaningful to happen - which it doesn't.

This would probably have made a reasonable short film of about 20 to 30 minutes, or an experiment in making the film with an iPhone (of all things).

And this is the next annoyance - made on an iPhone. The overall technical quality is poor, with obvious extensive post-production to try and make something reasonable. There is no excuse for using such low quality hardware nowadays.

As for the performances. With no meat on the bones of the story it is difficult to give a fair assessment. The cast had to work with what they had, which really wasn't much to begin with.

Overall, one to avoid. It's just not a pleasurable watch.

Firstly, all of the high score reviews are obviously fake. Even if this show were reasonable there is no way it would be scoring high.

The show is awful. The presenters are completely clueless and walk around posing all the time - which really is all this show is. Even the way they talk is like the brain dead.

The 'paranormal' stuff just doesn't exist - nothing happens even though they try to make something from all of the stupid machines they use - which are interpreted by no-name paranormal wannabes who like exposing us to their ridiculous theories.

Every time something happens (as they interpret it) they run away like silly schoolgirls.

I really don't know why networks are buying such awful shows when there are other decent ones out there.

I was expecting something at least half reasonable from Nick Groff and was very disappointed when I watched a few (or rather endured) a couple of episodes of this series.

There is so much NOISE in this show. If it's not the intrusive and very annoying music then it is the arsenal of downright stupid machines pretending to catch 'paranormal' activity. Or, even worse, it is both at the same time - which is what most of this show consists of.

Then there is the ridiculous attribution of words to completely random ones generated by the machine, most of which are nowhere near matching what Groff says they are.

I am not sure anyone actually watches the episodes before they are broadcast - they are pure junk.

I really don't expect a lot from these paranormal shows - perhaps a bit of interesting history, maybe the occasional unexplained event. This show is neither.

Nick really needs to think about what he is doing more.

10* ratings have to be fake or from people with very, very low expectations.

Having one's teeth pulled without anesthetic would be less painful that watching this rubbish.

Basically it is a fashion show with terrible wooden acting and a bland story-line that completely fails to create interest. The interaction between the characters is typical cliche, predictable, and not very well executed.

The characters seem to be off the shelf and with no thought going in to making them anything interesting for the audience.

The series is one long bore fest and never gets going - basically the same each episode. Very lazy writing and production.

All in all it is low-quality TV with a bit of bling.

The acting by all of the cast was superb, but particularly Idris Elba remaining faithful to the TV character and Andy Serkis' portrayal of the arch villain.

However, the production was very, very disappointing. There were numerous factual mistakes right the way through the film and ridiculous portrayals of some of the events.

Like many other people who have seen the TV series - which was brilliant - this adaption was nowhere near as good and was disappointing.

Overall the story wasn't bad even if a bit far-fetched for a Luther story.

So, is it worth watching? Well, it is certainly watchable if you can ignore forgive all of the mistakes in it. But if you are a fan of the TV series just don't expect the same standard.

This isn't a bad film, it just doesn't have anything particularly interesting or memorable about it.

The premise for the story is quite good, but the writing doesn't make full use of it's potential and quickly becomes one-dimensional and stale in the middle. It does pick up a little at the end, but not enough to save it from being mediocre.

It lacks the punch it could have both in comedy and horror, there was plenty of leeway to develop both in harmony that would have made the film much more interesting and appealing.

However, it is watchable - just don't have any expectations of it and take it for what it is.

This film isn't going to be for those who are looking for jump scares and gore or for those with a short attention span.

If you pay attention there are subtle clues that fill in parts of the story as it unfolds, which made the film all the more enjoyable for me. Sure, it isn't fast-paced, but that is not what this film is about.

The acting is superb, particularly by Vera Valdez as the Grandmother.

What is interesting is that most of the cast have few acting credits in film, yet they put in incredible performances - better than many other more well-known actors.

This has a strong story, is well acted with realistic characters, an atmosphere that sucks you in, and is well worth watching.

I like this film.

Right from the start you can tell that real time and effort has been put in to creating a well rounded and immersive story - something adults will appreciate.

The acting by Eva Green and Chai Fonacier is superb in realising wholly believable characters you can relate to right from the start.

Unfortunately, and this is my only slight criticism, is. Mark Strong's character seemed very one dimensional and wooden. It didn't gel well with the rest of talent displayed by Green and Fonacier and stood out as being under par in the face of their skill.

You may well guess what the general plot is quite early on in the film, but perhaps that is by design and adds to the connection with the characters.

All in all worth watching, and I will certainly watch it again in the future.

When I started watching this I thought I had somehow accidentally turned over to a children's channel.

It reminded me of adolescent shows such as 'My Parents Are Aliens' but on a larger scale. The 'humour' was just a little more advanced in We Are Not Alone, although just as hackneyed.

The production seems to have been done on the cheap, which really doesn't help sell the story.

Overall it was disappointing and a shame that a bit more effort wasn't devoted to making We Are Not Alone a bit tighter and engaging.

I'd say this is something of a missed opportunity because British comedy hasn't had much to offer in recent years.

It really annoys me when fake ratings and reviews are used to bolster a film the producers know is absolute trash.

This film is absolute trash from start right through the torturous 90 minutes it is on screen.

It does nothing to try and be anywhere accurate to the time the story is set in, the accents are just awful, and the acting more akin to a high school low rate drama class.

The 'story' (for what it's worth) is contrived and forced nonsense which tries to be some kind of murder mystery - it doesn't get anywhere close - which has no mystery whatsoever and such a poor attempt at humour it is ridiculous.

Don't waste your time on this - really - it's terrible.

It's an Indie film not a big budget production so if you have high expectations you are going to be disappointed.

Overall, it's not a bad collection of stories, some better than others, and equally some of the acting is not going to win any awards.

Even so, it is perfectly watchable with some interesting twist and turns and enough to keep you engaged (with the occasional groan) for the near ninety minutes it is on screen.

It is certainly better than a lot of the American teen cabin in the woods films that have flooded the horror genre in recent years.

So if you happen to see it is available then it is worth watching.

Rob Zombie has overstretched his very limited film making skills - and they were not very good in the first place.

This travesty is an affront to the original creators of The Munsters and the brilliant acting that created the timeless lovable characters in the TV series.

The first devastatingly awful thing about this film is the writing. The story is just a piece of linear trash. It seems to have been shoved together from random afterthoughts to try and make the story fill the time frame. There are scenes in this film that make no sense in the flow of what story there is.

This story could have been written by an average teenage in a day or two, and would probably have been better than this.

Next is the awful attempt at 'acting' by Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie.

Rob Zombie has obviously relied on the name of The Munsters as another vehicle for his wife's terrible lack of talent. She is way past the limits in this film - totally out of her depth. In attempting to portray Lily Munster she displays an obvious lack of ability in creating believable characters right from the first moment she appears.

The only thing that saved this film from total annihilation is the talent of some other cast members.

Getting to the end of this narcissistic vanity project was a relief - not something you want from entertainment having wasted nearly two hours watching it.

Just don't waste your time with this trash. You would be far better off and have a much more enjoyable experience watching the original TV series.

I would say this is more of a deep, dark, psychological thriller rather than a horror. If you are looking for jump scares or gore this is not it.

However, if you enjoy the depiction of the more sinister side of human nature you won't be disappointed.

This is no slow-burner and moves along at just the right pace to let you absorb the possibilities, and the characters that come to life thanks to the brilliant acting skills of Hall and Roth, the dynamics of which can turn on their head in an instant.

Without giving away the plot, all I can say is that what you may think this film is about is not necessarily what it will turn out to be.

This is a film about characters - not fancy production tricks.

Well worth watching, and this is one of the better films to have been released this year.

I thought this film might be worth watching but didn't have any expectations.

What a surprise.

Right from the opening scene to the very end the story was engaging with superb acting from all the cast who really brought the characters alive and right in to your mind, from the supporting cast all the way through to the mains characters.

The pace was just right so you don't miss any of the subtleties of Emily's journey from indebted student through to - you'll have to watch it to find out. It is an ending I wasn't expecting.

So go and watch it - I don;'t think you will be disappointed.

I have nothing more to say but have to write something to make up the ridiculously long six hundred character limit that has been brought in again by IMDB.

Yet another AHS episode that fails to deliver the quality story lines the franchise was famous for.

The acting was fine, as was the production, but every step of this story was predictable and failed to grab my interest. At halfway through I considered just not bothering to wait until the end, but I did.

I can see AHS being cancelled in the not too distant future if it carries on in a downward spiral of nothingness.

The last two series have not been up to the same quality and high standards set as a precedent in previous series, and it shows.

No doubt die-hard fans will stick with it desperately clinging on in the hope that things will change.

Perhaps the high ranking reviews are from desperate teenagers hoping AHS will have at least one good episode this season, but I am not impressed.

It was an OK story but one that has been told in various ways many times before (and far better), but was (yet again) predictable and quite boring - unless one is a twelve year-old.

'Disappointing' is the way I would describe this season, and American Horror Stories started on the downhill slope last season.

Fans told them, but it seems the producers have totally ignored warnings about poor writing - which is even WORSE this season, and so far this episode is probably the worst.

Even the directing leaves a lot to be desired. The 'background artists' are so atrocious I thought I was watching a super low budget home movie.

There is no excuse for the current poor production in the AHS franchise.

I like the TV series so thought this would be a great movie to watch. Nut for me it didn't hot the spot.

I found the movie quite long and tedious to watch. I think the problem is the musical numbers. They seem to dominate and really take away from the core humour that I experience in the series.

If yu are a die-hard fan you may love the movie.

First off, the acting of Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear are superb and both of them did an excellent job of bringing their characters to life - characters you can become invested in.

The story - or rather the writing - leaves a lot to be desired towards the end of the film. It gets off to a strong start, the middle is ok, and then fizzles to an uninteresting ending in the last 10 minutes or so. It left me wondering what I had watched for the last hour and a half.

The visuals are ok, although there are the occasional annoyances that just don't fit what is happening on screen.

Even so, it;s not a bad film and worth a watch if nothing else is on, but I expected a lot more interest.

Unfortunately, Bruce Willis' health problems are very prominent in his performance in this movie, which is a significant distraction and breaks the flow of the story. He obviously struggles to portray his character and deliver lines. Such a shame.

Otherwise, the movie is an OK action movie. The performances are solid with believable characters portrayed well by the cast.

The story is fairly standard for an action movie and there is nothing particularly memorable about it.

If you are a Bruce Willis fan you may find this difficult to watch, so best give it a miss.

Plenty of fake reviews abound yet again.

The story is predictable and fairly boring for the most part.

Even though it is well produced and the acting is generally very good, the story really lets it down. There are no real surprises or red herrings that can add intrigue to the story.

An OK watch but nothing memorable about it.

Perhaps other reviewers were expecting some teeny slasher movie, because I don't know why it has been rated so low.

The story is different and solidly written with well rounded characters brilliantly performed by all the cast.

The best thing to do is watch it and make your own mind up.

I don't know why this is so poorly rated on here. Probably teenagers expecting a slasher or something. I would say this is a very mild horror with a good story.

Anyway, for the adults, this is a good solid story where you are never quite sure where it will go

The acting is superb, and is the production.

One thing you might find odd is the constant references to Hotpoint - but this becomes clear in the end.

Well worth a watch.

The film is a one-dimensional 'save the world' kind of thing, but really lacks in substance or depth.

It's an ok film if you just want something to watch without having to think or get involved in the story. I was glad when the predictable end came.
