Felix Felixus Well, I just finished this movie. It's interesting but my Summary pretty much says it all. I put off watching it because I thought it had Stephen Dorff (the hot one) and not Brad Dourif (voice of Chuckie). I think you have to be from the south and/or understand a southern mentality to kind of appreciate the disturbing mental drain that is played out in the movie. There is a great deal about the plot that is very messy and oddly placed. I mean honestly it reminds me of the old series Tales from the Crypt. It isn't really SCARY as I thought it would be. It's more drawn out and disturbing more so than anything else. It was shocking to think that the soft male lead is that long-haired pot smoker in the TV series Mom. Wow he went from twink to stud! You probably should skip this movie unless you are looking for a take on a ghost story meets Romeo and Juliet meets some strange bits of supernatural incest. It would have been better if they had cut out most of the actors/scenes and spent more time building Amanda's back story.
Hendrixreligion6 I loved this movie and that is more than I can say for 99% of the horror/supernatural movies I have seen on Netflix. Last Kind Words is the kind of movie that leaves you feeling a little dead inside when it's over(pun intended) but in a way that is both stunning and haunting. The story is simple yet effective and allows this movie to entertain and scare without having to be cliché, overly gory, or loaded with special effects. I went into this movie expecting very little and got way more than I bargained for. I will not sit here and tell you this is the best movie I have ever seen or even that of its genre but I can tell you if you watch this movie you will not be disappointed.
celr I came on this by accident and was pleasantly surprised. I think it's a really excellent film, a "southern Gothic ghost story" for which the word 'haunting' seems just right to describe the mood it evoked in me when I saw it. I think it's the sort of film that not everybody will 'get'. It's about a young man who has to choose between life and death. It's subtle and literary with echoes of a half-remembered past. The story is poetic and unique, not at all like the usual haunted house tale, but more like a piece of folklore. It's a bit scary, but not that scary. It doesn't aim to frighten but stir something deeper in the audience. It has more to do with a meditation of life and love and death and the passage of time. This film uses music to great effect. I even had to look up some of the songs on iTunes. You might not like as much as I did, and I'm sorry about that, but it really got to me.
MissOceanB I find there are elements in this film which would strike a chord somewhere within with each viewer. The story, the scenery, the actors were all excellent. A few parts reminded me of Elvis & Annabelle, but aside from that, the films are very different. It is quite a daunting task to review this film without giving away too much (which is why I recommend viewing it!). Imagery and symbolism are well used which made the film that much more interesting and beautiful. Yes, there are some moments that may cause some to shudder or "jump", but they are few and far between. The film does well in exploring life and death and even modern history. There is a great melodic/ballad song that plays at times which also really made the film. Worth watching!
