When I saw the teasers on TV for this movie, it looked like it might be good, even the review of it made it sound like I might like it. I hoped it would be suspenseful and a bit scary.
It started out slow, and seemed to continue to be slow to get to the point, I felt at some point I was caught in an Amish town, and the story continued to focus on just everyday things. The town was afraid of something in the woods. The people were scared out of their wits. Sure they were scared of something. I thought I saw Sigmond and the one of the Seamonsters in the forest wearing a Little Red Riding Hood cape. Or maybe something from H.R. Puffnstuff. This movie dragged so badly, and the actors while many are well known, even they could not make this story go any faster. I felt the story was over done, and the plot was so vague, the main character is wounded too soon in the movie, then it became ludicrous that the people sent a sightless person to go get help. I am sure the person who wrote it believed it was a very interesting plot, but for me being able to run it ahead made my day, because if I had had to sit through the entire movie at the show, I would have had to be tied to the chair to keep from getting up and leaving half way through. Make sure when you see this movie that there is a clear pathway to the nearest exit!!
I had been superficial in my opinion above, then I slept on the ideas in the movie and the truth of the movie came through to me. There really is a deeper meaning to the story and I did not find it till after I turned it off and thought about it. It is all about people keeping others under control with Fear. The Bible says Fear hath Torment. It is sad to say there are so many people in families and in countries, and businesses that control everyone with Fear. How terrible that these people feel it is the right thing to do. This is what I realized this movie was really about. Maybe the way it was presented was draggy and the movie did not move along as fast as it should have, but the writer of it was trying to set the scene and make people think. I have to admit I laughed at how it was presented, I was wrong, it was a good story, about real things that people do to each other. I just hope others will let the story really sink in, because if it will wake someone one to stop trying to control someone, it will be all worth it. It has a Message. I finally Heard it. I am so glad I did.
