The Appearing (2014)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Purely Joyful Movie!

Am I Missing Something?

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

One of the worst movies I have ever had displeasure to watch. The plot must have been written by someone under influence. Acting was anything but convincing. Characters were 1-dimensional. Even music sucked. Not worth watching at all. At first, I thought it was a parody perhaps but it wasn't. It was just "work" of a bunch of people who obviously had no idea what they were doing and decided one fine day to make this very poor excuse for a horror movie. What the whole movie reminded me the most of are the worst of the SyFy channel productions. Although those movies tend to have better costumes, decorations and special effects than this one. So... do not watch this at home or anywhere else. It's definitely not worth your time. You can recommend it to someone you really don't like, though.

This movie reminded me of "The Exorcism of Emily Rose!" In pacing and story! I liked the spiritual warfare and good vs. evil aspect of the film. Well-acted with good story. There were some really eerie shots which added a nice element to the film. Some of the effects were cool but I would of liked to have seen even more effects.It looks like they shot the film at the same location as "Bates Motel"...not sure how they got access to the house but it was hard to not think about that element since they both looked so similar!All in all I really liked this film. It has a nice element of fear and paranoia but focuses on the human emotion element as well branching off from other traditional horror films like it

Your usual overused plot/bad acting/weak effects, second hand movie. Maybe the plot was smarter than normal, but those bad picked actors, horrible lines and the lookalike "The rite" ending managed to destroy it completely.So here you have it, one hour and 30 minutes that felt like a small infinity because they threw more twist than you find in an Asian horror, they just wouldn't stop. Indeed maybe the creators of "The appearing" wanted to make something to stand above the rest of B horrors, but failed to. They got so lost in their own work, something I see happening more and more lately. The problem lays either in that extremely cheap camera work or a plot pulled out to its extremes!So, either try "The exorcist", "The rite" or "The possession" just, sadly, not this one. Won't work even for a late night movie. It's bad...Cheers!!

I could go on about the lame script, bad acting, blind camera work, lazy directing, and amateur editing, but this has been covered by the others commenting. The movie opens with a black man kissing a brunette, which is fine, except that not one black girl appears in the movie, and if there was, it would be an extra, completely ignored by all men except possibly a black man. Why? Because the movie industry is racist. I shove the crew's face in the pile of racism they made. BAD DIRECTOR! BAD PRODUCER! You are worse than scum, you are traitors. Matthew J. Ryan and Daric Gates are bigots: Do not hire, do not invite, do not return their calls.
