A Haunting at Silver Falls (2013)

Lack of good storyline.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Life is too short; precious moments and all that. Why throw away 90 minutes you'll never get back? It occurred to me while watching this update on watching paint dry that if movies had IQ's, this one's would be very low. Summation: Painfully slow and pointless; useful only as an exercise in how not to make a movie. The only reason it got one star was because zero wasn't offered as an option.If you have to decide between watching this film or staring at a wall for 96 minutes, take the wall. You'll have put your time to better use.

This film had decent actors and the scenery and camera work was also better than other B horror movies I've scene. Unfortunately, it was still painful to watch. The real problem was that the whole thing made zero sense. And I'm not referring to "ghosts aren't real" no sense; I mean it was an illogical mess. First off, while audiences can buy into willing suspension of disbelief, they shouldn't be treated like they are stupid. For example, you are supposed to believe that on the night of a man's execution a psychologist from a small town arranges for some random teen to visit with the prisoner while he eats his last meal because the good doctor thinks it might help her with some hallucinations she's been having. Naturally, they visit one on one because why would a guard want to interfere with their little heart tot heart. WTF??? Then again, the psychologist also thought it was ethical to take on his son's girlfriend as a patient, after he forbid her to see said son. Oh yeah, and the man on death row also gives the young protagonist a ring because, sure, they would let a death row prisoner keep jewelry and then give it to strangers. Secondly, this movie was rife with story lines and characters that went nowhere. I imagine the film's makers thought they were using misdirection, but really, they were just throwing a bunch of stuff into the movie that served no purpose other than to annoy the audiences. There was one kid in particular who they kept bringing in over and over until he announces he has critical info for the main character and is on his way to see her, but she blows him off and then...That's it! You never find out if he did or didn't know anything relevant or if he came over like he said he would. He was just there, then gone. Like many characters in the film he offered nothing to story, he was just filler.Thirdly, the dialog was painful at times. I mean, you actually end up feeling bad for the actors. Most of the things they had to say were either so unnatural it's a wonder no one stopped and demanded a rewrite or it was so nonsensical you'd think they stop, raise their hands and point out that it made no sense because watching it I sure wanted to.Lastly, this movie had no logical consistency. First the ghosts are attacking the girl, alternating between trying to kill her and get a ring off her finger. Then, they somehow become her protectors who are trying to lead her to the horrible truth...gasp, gasp. The horrible truth by the way is pretty dumb and, like most everything else, very hard to believe. Of course by the time you reach the big reveal you just want everyone to die because the movie was so damn dumb.Bottom line, this movie came across like it was written by a high schooler who didn't have a proofreader. It was just a jumble of dead ends, inconsistencies, and painfully stilted dialog. What made it all that much more frustrating is that you know someone competent could have taken the same actors and resources and turned them into a film that

I give it a 7/10 since it was different from what i expected of it.There were many minor things throughout the film that could be nitpicked on but overall I enjoyed it.I just finished watching this on Netflix on my tablet while being distracted with things going on in real life. Maybe that's why I overlooked the adoption part but picked up on it as the film went on. Maybe they just quickly shot through that tidbit.Acting was decent. I'm familiar with the psych guy, he usually does well with his roles.The aunt and her boyfriend were cast well too. She really extrudes the dominant aura in a relationship, especially at the end of the film.I like how the movie pokes at the typical, make a move on the young girl yet he never did (til the end of course).My favorite part has to be when the lights flicker and the girl references the execution, LolWish they had concluded with the cop and the psych but again, decent film.

Shame on you the director for this FAKE movie. I was not able to believe how was bad this movie??? Its was joking with our minds. The horror movies to be good at my opinion as a watch man or interested person should be directed perfectly and also to bring an actor who is able to show the reaction on his face and his/her movement like our actress. Do you want to be good? you must respect the people opinion as its your guide line. Second thing.. The story was terrible... and the way we see the ghost or the dead person is worst than classic horror. (I like to watch classic than this one)Its cover was attracting me so I told myself lets see....... I not recommend this movie because this is wasting time. The Points I give this movie are: Music 5/25 -- Visual Effect 2/25 -- Story 1/25 and ZERO for entertaining so the total points 8/100 (VERY BAD)
