I've seen every horror / slasher flick going, and there hasn't been a lot of innovation for a long time – most are incredibly formulaic. I genuinely see this movie as genre redefining, and was far away from any cliché I was expecting. Yes, some of the non-gore FX are clearly low budget, although they don't detract from the film, but the script, story, direction and acting are all excellent. The film is genuinely creepy, it keeps you guessing right until the end – when even after a few truly impressive twists, the film maintains intelligence, creative direction and – most importantly – scariness. It feels a lot like Phantasm (always a plus in my book), but more polished – but that classic creepy, weird "high-quality" 80's horror flick with great twists, morals etc. are way better than the 5.4 average rating I see at the moment. A solid 8+ higher if you love the genre. I'm an ex-pro movie-journo, I'm not giving this bonuses as a fanboy or anyone tied to the production – it really is clever, really creepy and really well acted and directed throughout. Spooky stuff.
I would like to know who designated Edward Furlong as horror movie guy? I would like to kick that guy in the nuts. Terribly acted, this movie was so awful I couldn't finish it, even if the story was promising. These good reviews tricked me into watching, even tho he was in it….. I KNEW better but did it anyway. I have learned my lesson. And now IMDb wants ten lines of review about this movie….I don't know what else to say about it, it's the acting that made me want to throw something at my TV.
Save yourself, the good reviews are false or written by people too easily amused
As soon as the movie started it was horrible. The effects are very low budget and not real at all. The strange effects that occur are extremely weird and ruin the movie. Such as the lightning doesn't look real and even their bonfire used fake fire! And for some reason their is always purple light which looks stupid! The background music is terrible. The acting is average… The storyline is also average. Turned it off after 30 minutes. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they like crappy, unrealistic, low budget movies. If the effects were better it might actually make its way to an average movie rather than a horrible movie. The cover of the movie is the only real or good thing about this movie. Definitely don't judge a book by its cover otherwise you will think it will be an amazing movie!
I watched the Stitch with my girlfriend, and because we are horror genre junkies, we know to be a very tough audience to please. Both of us enjoyed the movie and I can't believe it has so low score here on IMDb.
The movie reminds me of old school horrors, just with more intelligent story. It is about two parents that can't overcome the loss of their daughter, so they rent a house in the desert to initiate some strange sorrow healing ritual. No one remember how they came there and soon bad unexplainable things start to happen.
Great things about the movie are acting and script. It is some sort of a psychological thriller actually. I never heard for Shirly Brener, but she did a decent acting overall, and is just smoking hot (shhh don't tell my girlfriend!). Edward Furlong looks cool and very congruent in his role too.
One thing I should not forget to mention is the make up. It's amazing and scary, and it really brings the best out of the movie scenes. CGI effects could be better though. My score is 8/10 !
