Nonureva Really Surprised!

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Ted Brown The Reed's tells the story of six friends who plan a weekend boating trip through the Norfolk Broads but soon find themselves caught in the middle of the struggle between an old man and the very teenage life's he took many years ago. The spirits of the murdered teen's now haunt the old man and anyone who steps foot on the Corsair Star boat. I want to start off by saying that so far this is my favorite out of the latest batch of After Dark films. As most people know I love movies dealing with ghosts and the paranormal but unfortunately a lot of them are just done horribly. That is not the case with The Reeds which is a beautiful example of a movie based around a haunting. The acting in this film is very solid and the special effects are beautiful all of which appear to of been practical effects no CGI that I could spot so if it was in there it was done well and unnoticeable. The story really blew me away its hard for me to review this one without giving up important parts of the movie because I just loved the story so much and the way it progressed at a very nice steady pace ending in a very satisfying way. The plot twists were executed perfectly. The Reeds does an excellent job of building tension and unlike a lot of today's horror it also delivers at the end. It didn't feel rushed or like they weren't sure how to end it like a lot today's movies seem to be plagued with it was done very well and really left you with a wow feeling as you finish piecing together what you just witnessed. If you enjoy a good haunting movie with a strong storyline beautiful blood and gore where needed all rolled up in a neat package of pure horror enjoyment I highly recommend you pick up a copy of The Reeds. 8/10

dusan-22 This movie definitely reminds me on Triangle but has much less sense and style. It is pretty poorly developed and has amateurish approach when it comes to crucial points. Beginning was kinda promising with tense scenes and reasonably intelligent mystery. However, film takes another track after that and that is mostly the misery of the main heroes which is trying to make impression on us by bizarre scenes that are more typical for Hollywood and in the most of the cases are sign of movie-maker's incompetence. Most of the horror movies made in Britain that I've seen were pretty good, but this one is definitely not the case. Take a look and judge by yourself.

Buzi Fighter Reeds is scary as like playing hide and seek in a house. Sorry, actually playing hide and seek would be a bit scarier. Reeds tries to copy Triangle, and fails (mind you, triangle is a fail on its own turf...ocean). Nothing new here, actors are dumb and almost retarded in reactions. Occasionally the film will try to scare you, miserably, and you'll grab your head saying:"I wanna fast forward this..." Actors look like they were chosen at a Supermarket, and not an audition. But the story...leaves viewer in a question: "What the hell was this all about"? The humble director and his minions explain in a 10 minutes segment on the very end what's the purpose of this...not impressed, highly crossed in fact. Do yourself a favor, don't watch it, there are better movies than this garbage!

psychologypressmarketing In his paper the Uncanny Freud noted our love of frisson and scaring ourselves. He would have appreciated the cunning way in which this film builds up and the nice setting of the boat. All are confined, all are defined here. Unfortunately nothing is known about Freud's taste in cinema. But The Reeds has many merits. There are moments when you really feel scared and disgusted. It managed to convey a sense that the doomed young on their doomed boat have been exiled from the outside world. The director and cameraman make the Norfolk broads are scary. The conclusion is surprising. So well worth a viewing and if it not quite pee in your pants terror it is definitely goose bumps. Well directed, well acted too.
