I love this movie!! The first time I caught it on late night TV, and it really stuck with me for some reason so I went out and picked up the DVD..it's been one of my favs ever since, and it's the kind of movie you can watch over and over. The cast is great, acting convincing, the story is raw, and I love the imagery of the chains, blindness, dirtiness, etc. the costuming and sets are genius in that you cannot tell what time period it is..it could be the 50s, or the 80s, or modern. It's one of the most romantic movies I've seen in awhile, especially if you are sick of the whole sickly-sweet formulaic romantic comedies these days. I have no idea why this isn't better known or rated because it's very haunting and gritty and the music is also fantastic. If you love southern Gothic Indy masterpieces you will LOVE this!

Haunt
(2013)
not amazing but not too shabby

i gave this a 6 outta ten because the cinematography was good, the ghost was actually pretty terrifying as movie spirits go, jacki weaver was eerie and haunting in her role as the vengeful wife and grieving mother, and the ending kinda surprised me. i jumped quite a few times, and the scares weren't as predictable as other movies.
of course it wasn't on the same par as sixth sense, exorcist, insidious, or the shining ; the script was kind of bad, the teenage love story was gag-inducing, and there wasn't any character development to speak of, but all in all not a bad little ghost story at all. especially for netflix.
a bit clichéd but wholly entertaining would be my description.
