Directed by Michael G. Bartlett. Written by Alex Child and Miles Harrington. Starring Dana Melanie, J. Michael Trautmann, Daniel Frederick, Nick Herra and Clint James.
Plot: a young girl goes missing – two boys find her – but they also find an evil presence that traps them in a treehouse.
In the beginning, many children go missing, including a sister, Elizabeth (Melanie) and brother, Little Bob. There’s a curfew set in the town, but two brothers, Crawford (Frederick) and Killian (Trautmann), decide to break curfew. Outside, they end up finding Elizabeth in a treehouse. She and Little Bob were separated. So, Crawford decides to go for help while Killian stays with Elizabeth. But will Crawford find help? Can Killian and Elizabeth afford to wait?
It’s a thriller. A very effective one. And you think the movie is going one way, but then it goes another. DJ thought it was a bit slow in parts, but the story was still a terrific one. The effects were just right and the acting was great, too, considering the ages of these young people and the things they had to effectively go through.
It’s not a laughing movie. It’s not “fun” by definition, so don’t watch if you want cheesy. Do watch it though. It was excellent. The ending especially was great and definitely different than we’re used to.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
