bamsemissekatten When i first saw the trailer for "Lord of Tears" i was totally in love with how the movie was shot and directed, i spend a long time, trying to find it on DVD, then i found it at last... on Hex Media's homepage, and when i say it, it was obvious for me, that it had been all the time worth it, i got it in a nice cover, both Blu-ray and DVD, and in special edition for 27$, it was all the money worth it, it is a Gothic style horror movie, it has a atmospheric horror and leaves you trembling in fear, one of the best horror movies of all time. The movie is directed by Lawrie Brewster, which i now think is one of the great directors of the horror genre, i hope you all will enjoy this movie, it's really worth to give it a shot.

bks-508-290401 I remember seeing the promotional videos on YouTube about Owlman, and was utterly creeped out by him. That one bloke who collapses to the floor after seeing him? That'd be me. The claws. Oh, the claws. Now I've just made the horrendous mistake of watching the film. The acting from both leads is laughable. Alexandra Hulme's performance got on my nerves within minutes, and once I'd had enough of her, I started surfing videos on my phone so I wouldn't have to watch her. I love slow burn suspense films, and if there are bizarre and trippy images in them, so much the better. A lot of said trippy scenes and colouring of this film reminded me of The Ring (American version). You're left feeling like you just took LSD, and its washed out and dreary, lending a sense of dread. This is one of the few good things that I can say about this film, the cinematography is amazing. However, these scenes soon got repetitive and boring. The score is also very good, but one mistake they make is that music is played when there's no need for it, usually during dialogue and you can't hear what they're saying. Very annoying. Way before the end of he film, I no longer gave a hoot (fnar fnar) about any of the characters or the plot, I just wanted it to finish so at least I didn't entirely waste the cost of it. Terrible waste of time and a huge disappointment in what could have been an incredible cinematic experience.

Ellen Ripley Wow. Just. Holy cow, what a cringefest. I mean, I am pretty tolerant of cheese you guys, but this stinks. It stinks. What a tremendously awful film. Almost everything about it just assaulted my senses. To be fair, the scenery was beautiful and the setting deserved a better movie. But they don't get credit for Scotland being cool. The writing was awful, the plot boring, the acting - dear god. Who are these people? Why are they in a movie? Who let this happen? These characters are zero-dimensional, and these actors should stop. Just stop now and pursue other career choices. You know when you are watching a movie and it's so bad you are embarrassed when other people walk in the room? Like you have to have an excuse for why it's so awful? This is that. They are lucky Scotland is eerie, or this 2 would have been a 1.

David L. I'm all about Horror (and I mean Horror, with capital "H"), Thrillers, Film-Noir, Suspense and some (very few) Indie films (or "Artsy") When I took a look at the trailer it seemed to have a healthy mix of those things I always enjoyed watching (as an example, my favorite movies in the above mentioned genres are "The Exorcist" I and III, Jacob's Ladder, Alien and Angel Heart, just to mention a few).Alas, (almost) none of these elements are to be found in "Lord of Tears", though the effort seems genuine.What really transpires through out the entire movie is confusion and insecurity; at best. And I assure you, you will feel it as well.There is a lot of needless repetition in imagery (that - it self - is under-achieved, though one can imagine what the intention was for it), a lot of rushed shots and out of sync/time with the general emotion it was trying to convey (either too soon for said shots or too late... or too much of it, to be honest). I had this constant feeling the director/writer (maybe both) had several ideas and were trying them all out and were unable to choose the most effective ones and ended up using them all. Well, that was not a good idea.A movie is also about pace/timing. And pace/timing is nowhere to be seen nor felt. Also, there are ideas there that are used ad nauseam: too many "flash shots", too much of the female character later "pole dancing" (seriously, that particular part of the movie made me facepalm, smirk and yawn all at once). Too much pseudo-romance. Too much of many things I can't tell or I'll end up ruining the perfect opportunity for you to also facepalm, smirk and yawn as I did (if you indeed want to watch this movie).The intention is good, that is all about the good things I have to say about it, and I honestly wish the best of luck to the people involved in making this movie, and may they take the experience and learn with it.
