mario_c Reeseville is a mystery thriller that starts very well but ends very bad; I mean while the beginning is somewhat astonishing, showing us a flashback scene very well shot, in a great kind of cinematography, of something that happened in the past, the end is quite predictable and, I would say, disappointing! Like other IMDb user said I also think that this film "spoils it self" near the end. It's a good movie in suspense and mystery subject, but when all the mystery is revealed it totally falls into a cheap drama with a predictable and disappointing ending… On the other hand, I also think that a great part of this suspense is created by the soundtrack. The tracks are nice, based on deep string sounds, but I must say that I don't remember a movie so needed of a chilling soundtrack to create some suspense and mystery to the viewer! I mean if we could watch the very same scenes without the soundtrack I bet that no one of us would be tense with those scenes! They aren't frightening by themselves, by the images, but just because of the sounds! Anyway, the movie is not bad, but at the beginning I expected a lot more

fgardenflower I am local to the area that the movie is suppose to be set in and was wondering if this is a completely fictional story or if it might be based on a true story. Also, were any scenes actually shot in Reeseville? I noticed one mistake. The Sheriff said he was going to go and get a judge in Watertown and it should have been Juneau.It was an interesting story in any case, but I found many of the lines to be unbelievably artificial and the character of the Sheriff to be a little far-fetched.Most of the actors did a great job of portraying their parts and could have used a little better writing, but did well with the lines given. I would say its worth watching, but I wouldn't pay to see it twice.

Vallygirl34 Being a fan of both Majandra Delfino and Mark Hamill I got this movie last year when it came out on DVD in Europe. When I watched it last year I felt that it wasn't a bad movie but I did think it could be better.When I saw the official site had the DVD with deleted scenes for Region 1, I figured what the heck I would get the new version. I was right, this movie could have been better.The theatrical version was cut to be a thriller but the deleted scene had more of a character study feel to them. They also tied together scenes that didn't really make sense in the theatrical version. Like how Iris got David's mother necklace that Jason grabs from around Iris's neck before the big showdown when David hasn't given it to her yet.In the deleted scenes we see Athee actually gave Iris the necklace for David after Iris and him had a fight and that the scene where he tells her about the necklace actually took place after they had gone out on a date bowling and David walked her home.Iris and David relationship also seem too rushed in the theatrical version. There are a couple of nice scenes with them that were cut which would have made their relationship more plausible and it's too bad because when I first watched it I didn't think Majandra and Brad had a much chemistry but when you see the deleted scenes when they were allow to relax a little you could see that they did have chemistry. Especially the scene that was cut where Iris goes to see David while stoned.Mark Hamill was great in this movie and it was so nice to see him in this. He really has turned into a wonderful character actor. Also Missy Crider as Athee steals every scene she is in. Her and Majandra had such a great chemistry together.The 'mystery' isn't that hard to figure out and is pretty paint by numbers. Also why Iris continues to live with her brother Jason after he beats her old boyfriend to death is never explained, which is one of the plot holes this movie suffers and the movie does suffer from a few plot holes but nothing that should keep you from checking the film out. So if you are looking for a mystery with a big surprised ending, you probable won't be too impressed by Reeseville but if you want a nice little mystery to watch on a rainy day then give it a shot, especially if you can get your hands on the DVD with the deleted scenes. Also if you are a Mark Hamill fan this is a must see!!

Tiffany_Vogt_2000 "Reeseville" is at times excrutiatingly slow, but on the whole a suspenseful microscopic mystery-suspense kind of story. Despite the slow beginning and pacing, by the end I was on the edge of my seat shivering at the creepy and climatic ending. Hence I found the film to be clever and very twisty. It rates highly in my "must see" book!
