Written and directed by Sonny Mallhi. Starring Ryan Simpkins, Annika Marks and Karina Logue.
Plot: Tess, a fragile teen, is haunted by a girl who died tragically.
Well, we didn’t like it. Tess (Simpkins) lives alone with her mother Jessica (Marks) and is already a bit unstable. Then, she starts being “haunted/possessed” by a girl named Lucy who apparently just wants to be able to say goodbye to her mother, Sarah (Logue). After that there’s some eye color changes, some hospitals, some medications, some therapy and of course, a priest enters the picture. It’s all very muddled.
It doesn’t really feel like a horror movie. It feels like an indie movie about possession. It’s slow during most of the movie. Not necessarily boring, but slow. There’s no real scares, no real rules and no real death. Other than Lucy’s of course. We will give it points for the memorable opening scene, the acting and the Freddy Claws, which surprisingly wasn’t atrocious for this type of movie. But we do not recommend it.
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.
