i SkyWalKing Kristy is an entertaining yet flawed horror film. It feels very formulaic in it's approach and set-up. The score is tolerable, nothing impressive but it's not irritating either. There is some good suspense through-out the film beginning around the half hour mark.The problems stem from the few ridiculous scenes that could have been avoided all-together (ie. Jump from the roof, no injuries / boyfriend being completely oblivious of his surroundings prior to death / no emotion what-so-ever even though many close people have just died etc).We also have the usual clichés that need to be put to rest within the genre for good (ie. Don't turn any lights on / yell "HELLO?" towards the danger / continue to wander into darkness and danger completely unprepared when you have many other options etc).The ending felt contrived and cliché as well. The overall plot was cliché as a matter of fact. We have seen it all before. Nothing innovative or impressive. If you are a genre junkie like myself and have seen everything, but seeking something you haven't seen before then you may as well. It's far from the best of it's kind, but not the worst either. Otherwise I would pass...

tv2-194-495681 I'll put this simply; this is the finest slasher since Halloween. It came and went with barely a whimper but trust me, this is an exceptional slasher film. Wonderful filmmaking - it's well acted, beautifully photographed and the set pieces are simply wonderful.This is a hidden gem of a horror film.

view_and_review This movie had a strong finish which was sorely needed. Even with the strong finish it couldn't dig itself out of the tons of clichés it buried itself in.The movie was a very typical terrorizing movie (an innocent person is terrorized by some wack job killer). In this case it was a young woman and the wack jobs were four. They were a part of some demented cult in which they hunt and kill well off, pretty, thin (and apparently White) young women they call "Kristy".I've seen plenty of good movies in which a woman fights off or seeks revenge on her attackers (I Spit on Your Grave immediately comes to mind), this was not a good one. It followed the cliché terrorizing killer manuscript (i.e. superfluous deaths of non-essential characters because they are obviously weaker, several illogical decisions and the universe not operating like it normally does).Without going terribly deep into this movie I just want to rid the movie world of one cliché. This is not my top cliché but we have to start somewhere. Stop, cease, desist with the protective dog running off into the darkness barking only to become yelping and finally doggie corpse. How many brave and heroic dogs must lose their lives in this senseless manner? I demand an end to this blatant dislike and discrimination against protective dogs everywhere.

SillyGayBoy I actually just finished this for a second time. There were certain things I found a little hard to follow the first time but maybe that is just me. The internet angle I found confusing on first go around. Certain events happen so fast I could not see very well what happened. It made a difference seeing it in the day the first time and night the second time. Do not watch this in the day! It is an atmospheric movie. It must be at night.The acting from our main girl draws me in, her performance is always alluring. The soundtrack is fantastic too, the themes stay with me. I would even say it may be my favorite movie soundtrack and definitely in my top 5. The music and this movie go really well together, hand in hand. Most movies have maybe one song I love with it, maybe not even that. This is one of the rare ones where I dig every single song and gives the movie a great vibe and overall presence.Movie has great twists and turns, keeps me interested, and the internet angle to things is a fun spin on it. Certain stuff may make more sense in a second go around. I found myself thinking about it a lot after the first time and it became clear I needed to rewatch to make sense of certain things better. On second watch I can confirm, very solid movie, very atmospheric, well written, well acted, definitely worth a go, at night, and not with people who talk during movies.I hope we see more films like this. I also dig the abandoned college angle.
