Amateur movie with Big budget

A Disappointing Continuation
Lidia Draper
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Morris (Tony Curran) lives on the Moors. He owns a wrecker and has a nefarious watch collection. As he is about to add to his collection, his daughter (Diana Vickers) interrupts him and Jake (Rupert Hill) becomes a house guest in what comes initially as a farmer's daughter joke. Jake's desire to leave meets with resistance from Morris who operates a profitable business.Th picture starts out good but then stagnates. There are a limited number of victims so the film must concentrate on what few it has. The influence Jake has on the daughter wasn't done well. They should have cut 20 minutes from the film.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Whilst not the most cheerful of films, this is a really solid production that carefully ramps up the thrills and the gore right up until its blood-splattered finale.Tony Curran is excellent as Morris, reclusive land-owner who lives, it seems, in isolation with his beautiful daughter Lauren (Diana Vickers). When dashing young businessman Jake (Rupert Hill) stumbles into their lives, but accident or design, things get progressively nasty. At first this nastiness relies on the performances and then desperation and an awful lot of blood take over.At first, the acting from the younger cast may seem underwhelming – good looking familiar faces from soap-operas may rankle the snobbish sensibilities of reviewers who don't believe actors from popular dramas can cut the mustard in powerful horror pieces like this. As the characters' situations become ever bleaker, and the audience becomes less sure of their motivation, you become as fully immersed in their situation as it is possible to be. At times I, a foul old horror viewer of many years, had to turn away as a mixture of effects and performance made every indignity and moment of suffering seem acutely real. Not bad for soap actors! For lovers of twist endings, there are more than one. Each satisfies. You may not be surprised by one, but bowled over by another. Or not. All I can say is I enjoyed this a great deal, more than I thought I would. Highly recommended.

Morris is a recluse with psychotic tendencies, whose life changes when his seemingly innocent daughter Lauren rescues one of his victims and befriends him. Jake, a lawyer from the city waiting to propose to his girlfriend properly, soon realises that he is stranded, and his presence in the house gradually reveals unexpected and dark mysteries from the past.....It's a certainly interesting premise, guy gets involved in a 'road accident' comes round in a strange place, with a young girl who is infatuated with him, and her psychotic father.....But in fact, once you've seen the film, you'll have that strange feeling of déjà Vu, because no matter how enjoyable the film can be at times, it's just too familiar, as it has hints from lots of popular horror movies from the past 50 or so years.The films that it reminded of the most were The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The People Under The Stairs, Psycho, and a little hunt of Straw Dogs.All these films featured a person out of their comfort zone in an element of peril, and having an injury of some sort. The thing these four films have in common, are that they are far superior to Awaiting.But, the three central performances are solid and Curran especially keeps you gripped whenever he almost loses his marbles (a little bit more).The bloke from coronation street is good, but he's your stereotypical rich boy in peril who thinks its a good idea to be verbally facetious toward your captor when imminent peril is about to be inflicted upon you, just to let them know that your intellectually superior at that particular time......good choice.Vickers is also good, in fact very good for an X factor runner up, her innocent, almost childlike performance is pretty disturbing, especially during the Christmas dinner scene, but then one scene makes you think she may have been a bit of a diva on set, because two certain body parts are CG erased, and it's blooming obvious.So all in all, it's a decent movie, with a couple of decent twists, but you'll think you've seen it before.

Don't have a whole lot to say about this flick, it's not terrible or anything but it fails to really do anything new. Seemed to have a good budget, the actors/actresses all did a fine job, and the effects were solid but every thing this film brought to the table just felt like things I have seen in tons of other horror films.Still was able to hold my interest til the credits and the last 20 minutes were pretty thrilling but nothing too memorable or unpredictable ever really happened. Not a bad movie, but pretty forgettable and not one I would suggest going out of your way to see.5/10
