Great Authentic "Based On True Story" Movie

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2013)

I really enjoy watching most movies that state "Based On a True Story" and as we all know most are not or are mostly Hollywood and falls off the path of keeping the story realistic. This one was nailed out of the park. James hit this one right on the head, no gore, bloody horror, fake prosthetics or bad makeup, or crappy CGI. Lilly Taylor said in an interview that James didn't use any CGI and I can see why... he didn't need to. I liked the classic/ simple horror touch to it, the more innocent thrillers that keep you more scared because of the suspense. Very well shot, great cinematography, and kept the audience from saying that was fake or corny. As for the over rated or played out "This movie was so Scary I had nightmares, or peed myself, or cried... well... Not so much. I guess that goes to show don't read to many reviews or take them to seriously before you go and watch it for yourself. It was pretty thrilling and suspenseful, I wasn't bored or was already 3 guesses ahead of what was going to happen because the story line was so great.
So all in all, Very Great acting from Patrick, Vera, and Lilly. Good classic scary movie with a solid and suspenseful story line that had you pined in you seat. Worth seeing it in the theater and spending a few bucks. I didn't leave the theater saying that wasn't worth it and "It was okay, or it sucked." Just not as scary or horrifying as proclaimed.
