The Hallow (2015)
Little bit of whiplash but overall nice
This creature feature is quite full of jumps and is an interesting premise. Without giving too much away, I agree with the other reviews - starts out pretty quick, boils over, then leaves the pot dry... You find yourself rooting for the actors and hoping that everything works out for them throughout the movie. There is a building of the character that really helps keep it moving. If you like creature features and some good campfire storytelling, you will enjoy this movie. There's not a huge budget but the team used what they did have very well. My biggest complaint is that there are a few moments towards the end that could have been shot better and a little less predictable. The end gets a little too "out there" for me to give it more stars but I was very satisfied. The acting is excellent and the scenery is right on target. The creatures are a bit pixellated but still, this is a great movie to watch at night with all the lights off and a fire or some candles going.
Sacrament (2014)
Loved it
Sure, there are some "interesting" acting moments, but take the movie for what it is- an indie horror. It hits that mark for me. I liked the moments of humor too, it was a great contrast to the other parts. There are some good gory parts and a few jumpy moments. I enjoyed that there was a gay inclusion but wasn't the focus of the movie, just a normal part of it. Some parts were a little predictable, but there is a good overall feeling of suspense. I would have liked to see quicker movement of the traveling group into the main story line, but I like the movie overall. At about 80 minutes in it gets very good. My biggest complaint is we don't know what happened to the big girl!! The premise is solid to me and I really enjoyed the film!
