black_wolf_1970 I liked this movie a lot. It was of the few movies that had both a good story, good acting did not see the need to be full of blood and gore or have a bunch of nude girls running around. This movie relied more on script the effects which is also refreshing. For a low budget movie this was very well done. I know many people will say it was lame, boring, dull etc etc because of all the reasons I liked it. I admit some of the acting was a bit strained and some over the top but over all it is a good thinking movie. Of course the ending for the movie is not true to real life as Lucy Keyes has never been found nor the reason for disappearance ever known, but it was other wise a very well done movie.
phoenix1955again Being based on a true disappearance, I think the movie did justice to the mystery from the 1700s. For an independent film, it had a lot less gore than most fright flicks and it is to be commended for that. Expanding the tale to solve the mystery may have been too ambitious a project for the director. However, I find the bittersweet ending to have been well thought out and fairly executed. I think the fear that the Keyes descendant felt should have been explored more in the script, but perhaps explanation for that was left on the editing floor. All in all, I felt it was a decent attempt at solving a centuries-old mystery in a manner that unfortunately, sadly still occurs in this day and age.
ed-707 John Stimpson has woven a suspenseful tale using a local legend and significant historical documentation to keep you on the edge of your seat. Taking place in a rural New England town, he takes advantage of the local color and scenery to make even the legend to appear very real. Melding modern technology with pre Revolutionary War scenes, he keeps you guessing. Even when you think you have figured it out, he throws you another curve building to and unexpected climax. The cinematography is spectacular. You owe it to yourself to see this one. Keep up the great work John, and we will be looking forward to your next venture.
pbewick This film is an intriguing story about an old New England legend. Anyone who likes a spine chilling ghost story will love this film. John Stimpson does a great job juxtaposing the family life of a 21st century family with a 250 year old folklore story. Having lived my whole life in New England I could relate to the telling and retelling of old stories and how they become part of the fabric of a small town. The symmetry between Lucy Keyes, who goes missing in 1755, and the modern day Lucy who has moved to the countryside with her family is brilliant. I won't give away the ending, but the symmetry gathers onto itself as the film continues. And the eccentric character of Caswell fits the small town setting superbly. You will enjoy this film!
