The Haunting of Rebecca Verlaine

I *beep* loved this movie! It definitely deserves more than 4.6 (the rating that it has on IMDB)! The first 40 minutes are pretty slow (not boring, just slow), but after that it gets really entertaining and it has A LOT of AWESOME gore (a few effects look pretty cheap though)! Oh and it has the craziest intro in a movie ever! The acting is bad, but I don't care (and no one should) because acting isn't important in low-budget gory movies, so I give it 8/10!

If you like some of Olaf Ittenbach's movies, you'll probably like this one!

has done some good movies. My favorite is the very hard to find "The Burning Moon" this movie isn't near as good. A lot of it is VERY slow. I think a lot of the acting is bad. It might not be all the actors fault could be a weak screen play. I have never been big into paranormal activity horror. Ok this was passable. What I liked about the movie was of course the blood and gore and Olaf Ittenbach knows how to present that. The first 5 min.s of the movie is very good. I liked the movie BUT it wasn't great.

Alright, I don't know why I should have to say this, but some people still seem not to get it somehow...This is an OLAF ITTENBACH film. That means: laughable-to-mediocre acting, low budget everything, shot to video (or at least in a similar style), and last - but most prominently - ridiculous gore and violence. So, of course, that is precisely what we get in this film.

That said, I hadn't anticipated that this movie would be legitimately creepy at times, but it was. Granted, the other 90% of the time I was laughing or cocking my eyebrow as the convoluted "diabolical plot" story unfolded, so I'm sure anything with the slightest semblance of seriousness was surprising to me. Regardless, the make-up was done extremely well, and the blood was bountiful. The script was silly, but the story is actually pretty bad*ss. I mean, come on, rotting ghosts who vengefully kill anyone who steps into the house in which they were brutally murdered? Awesome.

The first few instances when Rebecca's father appear to her are, for me, very reminiscent of Pascow from Pet Sematary (or Jack from American Werewolf, take your pick) as well as a particular scene from Beetlejuice (which, incidentally, is my favorite movie of all-time). I saw these both at a young age, so perhaps I wouldn't otherwise have the fondness that I do for this flick. But even purely as a gorehound, this one delivers. And no obnoxious sex (or worse yet, rape) scenes. Kudos, Olaf! Oh, another element that I enjoyed (which is also probably because of Beetlejuice) was the lighting. This movie has a lot of blue, which I feel suits/sets the tone well. Sorry/You're welcome for yet another stream-of-consciousness "review".
