Hurt (2009)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This is a very scary movie. It has great story line. It has great acting. It has great special effects. It is scarier then The Shinning and that is not easy to do. This is a very scary movie. 5.3 is a good ratting. But this is such a great film that 5.3 is underrating it. I give it 9. Because it is very scary. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Halloween resurrection could ever be. Do not watch this movie alone it is very scary.

Yet another movie seemingly created for the sole purpose of insulting the viewer's intelligence.Follows the standard revenge flick formula with some spectacularly unrealistic scenes, jaw-droppingly stupid characters and plot holes large enough to swallow the Murray-Darling basin.The film initially shows promise with its metatext of pubescent erotica, polygamous sex and Freudian longings, but lacking proper development these elements became increasingly irrelevant and ultimately fail to satisfy.I rate 'Hurt' at 9.99 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a solid 3/10 on IMDb.

Barbara Stepanksky directed & co-wrote this little thriller with Alison Lee Bingeham. They wisely took plot developments from a few older familiar film PLUS a character from the classic. THE BAD SEED.The cast is consists mainly of 5 people, mainly they are from various Television & cable shows. It is almost a large one set film,(A near deserted auto Junk yard.)A recent widowed women, a late-teen aged son & daughter. This three-some move in with her quirky brother (owner of the junk yard ). these 4 nice people are trying to cope when a 13 year old young girl enters there lives..As I said above,. BAD SEED time again.The cast consists of Melora Walters, William Mapother, Jackson Rathbone,Joanna Bradley & Sofia Vassiliva. All 5 are first rate.It is a well done minor b-movie, Since there are no explosions or naked scenes It was released direct to DVD.I think this film deserved a better fate. See it & I think you will agree.Ratings: *** (out of 4) 87 points (out of 100) IMDb 8( Out of 10)

okay! First of this is just your average Been there, done that Evil child movie.In my opinion its just The omen and The orphan rip/off.The acting well the Acting is below par at the best of times. the only one that makes an effort is the daughter. the psycho child, which i wouldn't really say is psycho, more of a child with issue's after the death of her father and the bullying in the orphanage comes across as lonely child and doesn't have the chemistry to make the viewers feel scared or terrified.this is more of a story driven movie, nd doesn't really have much tension like a horror is supposed to..at best this is more thriller than horror and more drama than thriller.I wouldn't watch this with high hopes and expect gore galore.At best i can only give this 3/10 The first 30-40 minutes was too drawn out and can be very boring so don't expect a high tech thriller.
