Landfill

Psychological thrills abound in this intriguing first feature film by this director-writer who has taken the genre and incorporated elements of horror. If you're a fan of both of those, check this movie out! Rocking a landfill is not the usual fare for films, but this thriller with emotional undertones and deep interpersonal storylines weaves a tale that explored the landfills of the mind... Starring a cast of characters that bring a realistic tone to the proceedings, this picture might get overlooked by fans of the gorier genres, but don't miss it! It stars The Exorcist's own Linda Blair in a role the will surprise you!

The movie is fun to watch. It kept me on edge to know what's going to happen next. Great acting and storyline. It laughed, teared up and got a few good scares while watching. It's witty in some parts and emotional in others. What sets "Landill" apart is its ability to maintain suspense without relying on gratuitous violence or explicit content. The filmmakers skillfully create tension through clever cinematography, a haunting musical score, and a well-crafted script that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The use of atmospheric lighting and shadowy visuals adds to the overall sense of unease, creating a palpable atmosphere of mystery and suspense. The child actors demonstrate a depth of emotion and maturity beyond their years, showcasing their remarkable talent and leaving a lasting impression on the audience. They definitely carry the weight of the narrative with remarkable skill, drawing viewers into the complexities of their characters' lives and the challenges they face. I give it 9 out of 10!

This wasn't bad honestly. I didn't have much expectations when I decided to play it, and I mostly wanted to see it because of the cast involved and the fact that it's a ghost story involving kids too. Some of the visuals were intriguing and interesting to look at. Some scenes fell flat though but then again that's expected. Some of the acting was mediocre (the main pulled it off though, it was mainly the side characters and the heavy set friend was glasses) some scenes were too long and could have been cut in half, like the other scenes that were shorter and there was action so that's what it needed because it worked. Overall an enjoyable experience.

A young curious girl, Melissa (Victoria Clare), finds a necklace at a landfill where her Dad (David Lee Smith) is designing a housing development. Afterwards she starts seeing the ghost of a young girl, Dorsan (Savannah Liles/Halliday), leading her on a search for answers for Dorsan's untimely demise.

Victoria Clare delivers a strong performance as the lead Character of Melissa. Actor Morgan Bertsch, who plays Erma, delivered her lines in a way that reminded me of how a neighborhood kid, I knew growing up, actually spoke on a regular basis. Sophie Guest plays the part of Nora, the bratty character, that I actually ended up liking in the end. It was nice to see the cameo's of Linda Blair and Christine Elise in this film as well. I think the entire cast did a great job with their characters.

We are shown some of the pain that the characters are going through and how they are fighting their way through that pain, and readjusting to their lives in a new location. The Dad was my favorite of the two parents, because you can see that he truly loves his little girl just as she is. He supports her and her fascination with things that her Mother doesn't approve of. He is also very empathetic to his wifes feelings and insists on her putting away things, like an art piece, that her Mother might fight upsetting. Her Mother is more the, "Why can't you be normal" type, but that could also be because of her recent loss, and she's inadvertently expressing that without thinking.

The first half of the film we get character development, but the story didn't really seem to take off until the last half of the film. I really wish there had been more adventure shown, from the kids point of view, with them trying to figure out what happened to Dorsan.

Even though the film has an overall melancholy tone, The ending leaves us with closure, and seemed to bring Melissa and her Mother closer.

Overall, I enjoyed this film. I felt like it was shot well and the story had a nice flow to it. The films runtime is just under two hours and, while I am glad it wasn't another one of those films that felt rushed, I feel like it could've been cut down to a shorter runtime and the film would've still been just as enjoyable.

Lanfill is a story about a family who decided to move to a new home but while they are there their young daughter starts to have some Supernatural encounters with a deceased young girl a ghost if you will ! I will not give any of the Mystery away as this young girl who is very good in her role ! Is trying unravel what's going on ! Along with a coulpe of close friends as they investigate a back story of past & present . The film is beautifull to look at indeed ! Direction & the Diolouge is quite good ( Very Natural) . Now this is a Suspense / Thriller but not in the gernereck sense of Ghosts Storys Haughting young Adults young or old ! In the end this film comes from the heart its very touching & sad so we simpersise with the Sprit of this young girl gone to soon . Look out for a cameo from Actor / Animal Actvist Linda Blair in the film plus other small roles from a coulpe of actors of known horror films like Child's Play 2 & Action films. They do their roles quite well . After seeing Landfill l look forward to seeing more projects from the writer/ director of this film .
