Summary: FAIRY TALE STYLE HORROR MOVIE!!!!!
Review: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANYONE WHO REALLY ENJOYS FAIRY TALES.
THIS FILM MAKES US THINK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SOME CREATURES ARE REAL OR ONLY PART OF OUR IMAGINATION!!
THIS FILM HAS A LOT OF SUSPENSEFUL MOMENTS, BUT HAS VERY LITTLE VIOLENCE.
IT IS MILD AS COMPARED TO MANY OF THE FLMS OF TODAY!!

IT STILL MAY BE WISE TO SEE THIS FILM BEFORE SHOWING IT TO A YOUNG CHILD BECAUSE IT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF MANY A NIGHTMARE!!
IT WAS QUITE ENJOYABLE TO SEE A FILM THAT PAYS HOMAGE TO THE FAIRY TALES OF LONG AGO, AND AT THE SAME TIME, GIVES US A NEW FILM THAT MOST OF US SHOULD REMEMBER FOR YEARS TO COME!!

I THOUGHT THAT THE STORY WAS QUITE INTERESTING AND I THOUGHT THAT FOR THE MOST PART THE FILM WAS DONE RIGHT.
THERE WERE LIMITED AND QUICK SHOTS OF THE SAID CREATURES THROUGHOUT, UNTIL TOWARDS THE END OF THE FILM.
ALSO, FOR THE MOST PART, THE ACTING WAS CONVINCING.
YOU SEEMED TO SENSE THE FEAR THAT THE CHARACTERS IN THE FILM WERE FEELING!!
I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE ONLY TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN YOUR HEART FOR FAIRY TALES OF LONG AGO AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO FANS OF BLOODY GORE AND VIOLENCE!!
SEE THIS FILM WITH AN OPEN MIND THAT JUST MAYBE SOME THINGS ARE NOT QUITE AS THEY SEEM.
WHO KNOWS? IS IT OUR IMAGINATION OR IS IT REAL?
I FEEL THAT MANY ASPECTS OF THIS FILM CAN BE COMPARED TO THE 1986 FILM, TROLL.
SO IF YOU ENJOY THIS, YOU MAY ENJOY THAT MOVIE ALSO!!

Summary: A boring misshelved DVD.
Review: I went to Blockbuster and picked up what I thought was Killer Clowns From Outer Space, and instead found this clunker inside. I'm giving it two stars because it wasn't out and out horrible, it simply lacked entertainment value. If, like me, you're someone who checks out straight-to-video horror flicks for their campiness and unintended humor then steer away. This movie is sober and boring, the sort of film you watch on an international airplane. Everything about the plot is predictable and this eliminates any possible suspense. I want my $3.99 back...hey since there's no longer any late fees at Blockbuster...maybe I could keep it and sell it. Yet, that won't make up for the 95 minutes of my life it stole. To recap, folow the advice of a previous reviewer and watch the movie on HBO don't buy it or rent it.

Summary: Drist
Review: Only bit of the movie I liked was the credits rolling at the end and the soundtrack 'Fallen' by a little known band called Drist. They are the reason it gets 5 stars!

Summary: GRIM FAIRY TALE
Review: Relying heavily on the oddly perverse fairy tales of our youth, INHABITED is a fairly good thriller that collapses at the end. The Russells move into this old house that needs restoring after a fire in the fifties. They have a darling little girl of course and a prepubescent son. The little girl has imaginary playmates she calls "fairies" and Mom and Dad humor her for a while. Then a mysterious handyman appears claiming that these so called fairies are actually horrifying little creatures out to claim the little girl. Mom and Dad consult the local shrink and ask him to confirm that their daughter is merely enjoying an active imagination.
Of course we know the fairies are real and dangerous, and soon the little girl does too but it may be too late because the little trolls are planning on wiping out anyone who stands in their way. Early in the movie, the trolls or fairies are shown quickly and briefly and they have a rather menacing effect. However, at the climax, one can tell that we now have actors in funny suits and clothes pretending to be trolls and the movie descends into a rather "Puppetmasterish" type of horror..it's no longer frightening, but funny.
Megan Gallagher doesn't rise to the challenge of the mother; she always seems to be looking around for something---maybe her lines? Eric Lutes as hubby Brad is strong and supportive, but his role is more of a necessity than an addition; Malcolm McDowell starts out as a kindly old gent but then turns malicious when he realizes the potential for a major "psychological" breakthrough; the children do okay, but it's the durable Patty McCormack (The Bad Seed) whose quiet presence as the mentally challenged Olivia who brings the movie its finesse in the acting department.
This certainly isn't an awful movie; it just could have been so much better had they kept their focus instead of trying to overwhelm us with made up little people.

Summary: Kind of fun
Review: The movie was fairly interesting but I wouldnt want to watch it again. It wasnt interesting enough for me to want to watch any of the special features on the DVD. You could tell it was a low budget movie but it was done pretty well. At first I thought oh no, this is going to be another Doll movie like Puppet Master (those were so/so I thought but I guess a lot of people enjoyed them otherwise there wouldnt have been so many sequels) but the fairies were actually real people more like Gullivers Travels. Rodney McDowell was in it so it was nice to see a familar face. My 13 year old son really enjoyed it and thats part of the reason Im giving it 3 stars. Dont get it if your not a fantasy buff and want a truly scary movie, instead pick up Trilogy of Terror which I deem one of the truly scary movies to have a doll in it.

Summary: Cheap Cheesy Horror Good for the Bored
Review: This movie was so low budget, cheesy, and loaded with generic actors (except McDowell and McCormick) it wasn't even funny. The only good part was the storyline about the fire in the 1950's and how it tied into the handyman and his sister. Do not waste your money buying or renting this unless you are twelve; instead wait for it to be on HBO like I did. The "fairies" were done well but the movie was no where near believeable like "The Ring" was.

Rating:
Summary: Awesome movie...until the last 20 minutes.
Review: Up until the last 20 minutes of it, this movie rocked! It had a better plot then both the ring and darkness falls. but the ending kinda ruined it for me. other than that this is the best movie i've seen since darkness falls.

Summary: Good Remake of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
Review: When I first picked up this DVD I thought it would be original. Little did I know it was really a remake of the 1973 classic Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.

A young couple with a small daughter move into a new home. The house is an old wreck that needs work and an old handyman shows up to help out. He seems to know more about the house than he lets on.

Meanwhile, the daughter has been telling stories of playing with "the fairies" who are her friend. This ties in with the head psychiatrist (McDowell) who is treating a patient who told similar stories when she was young.

How it all ties together is something you will have to watch. Few movies have ever raised the hackles on the back of my neck but there were a few scenes here that did it. The movie relies on atmosphere and quick glances to build the fear and not flashy effects and piles of gore.

McDowell turned in an excellent performance as a doctor who truly cares (an unusual role for him lately as he is usually the villain). The rest of the cast did a good-enough job and the little girl was very believable (I have a young daughter).

If you are looking for flash, gore, and lots of monsters, this one is not for you. If you liked the original 1973 film, the original The Haunting, or other atmospheric horror films, this one is right up your dark alley.
