Bereamic Awesome Movie

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Joel Dodd The story develops through regularly-placed reveals of clues and information about the history of the house, but with the absence of direct explanation, so often expected by on-demand viewers the viewer is expected to think, to ask questions and to construct their own ideas about the house and its inhabitants - are they protecting the owners, the house, or their survival? How reciprocal is the relationship between the inhabitants and the owners of the house? The soundtrack is minimalist, although the "spirit presence" chords are overly repetitive. It is hard to find anything truly original, as there are only so many rearrangements of plot details and stories. What we found refreshing was the realistic pace - passage of time, how the characters pass their time is more realistic than many movies. Face it, regular life is mundane and we have our daily routines. It is this aspect that the film captures and that some, who want a succession of revelatory thrills and shocks will sorely miss. Yes, the plot is derivative, but the style is subtle. If you expect CGI gore-flecked action go somewhere else. If you want a more nuanced, human-paced chill, this is worth a view.

Tom Dooley The plot is one that has been done before – it is the haunted house scenario where previous misdemeanours still lurk as a stain on the soul of the property. The house here is an old New England home that is now a Bed and Breakfast but used to house an alleged midwife cum witch, child killer.Enter Dan and Jess to buy the place. Dan has to go on a business trip and when he returns his erstwhile loving wife has turned cold and uncaring. He soon finds out that the house has a few secrets and so sets about finding out what happened in the past to cause such occurrences in the now. The perennial question is always, will he find out before it is too late?Well the problem with horror is that fans expect an awful lot of a genre where it has basically been done before. It is hard to get a new twist and, even if you do, it then has to translate as 'horrific' or have some truly scary fright scenes. As we become more inured to slasher and gore fests so we tend to want more 'frights' and actually this scored quite highly there.It actually gave me goose bumps more than once, but it does suffer from lack of characters. We don't get any back story of the couple either or enough time to get some positive feelings for the couple in the 'empathy bank', which means we are not going to care enough when bad stuff happens. The music is good though at atmosphere enhancement but it is started off by being 'spooky' and carried on throughout – we could have done with some variety or the tension starts to become the norm and therefore has less impact. Acting here is fine for a budget film – Michael Reed as Dan being rather good and directors the Rassmussen brothers have made a rather good effort which they say was a labour of love and that comes through. Not the best horror ever but a million blood drenched miles from the worst and for an independent effort there is plenty here to applaud.

prth_gswm Before watching The Inhabitants I had almost zero expectations but it turned out to be a super scary ride.I still remember the day when it was first uploaded in a torrent site and i ignored it but somewhere down the line on my mind i had a doubt on my decision because the cover art was looking promising to me then all of a sudden i changed my mind and downloaded it later i realized that my previous decision of not downloading it was wrong.The story revolves around a couple gets more than they bargained for when they buy an historic bed and breakfast in New England only to discover that the old house is hiding a dark secret within its walls.The story sounds familiar to every haunted house movie but execution here is different from the rests.It has a lot of jumps and scares.The creepy atmosphere is terrifying and scary looking spirit backfires.Trust me i found this movie to be one of the scariest movie since The Conjuring. If you love to watch scary movies with not much gore in it then The Inhabitants is perfectly made for you. So what are you waiting for? Just give it a go. Strongly Recommended.

citvprod In a nutshell - go this this! I was lucky enough to attend a special premiere screening at Somerville Theatre! It is a contained horror film about a couple that acquire a Salem, MA bed and breakfast and soon find it's haunted. While that might not sound like the most original horror story, it's an interesting take on the haunted house concept. It is a throwback to 80s horror films that slowly build to the scares and gore. In a way it reminded me of Ti West's House of the Devil, not the story, but the pacing and tone. Both had an undercurrent of tension throughout. This is a great example of what one can do on a low-budget and still be scary and creative with limited resources.
