im glad it was only 4.99, Mai 19 2004
seriously, sometimes i watch a movie and i think to myself "do the people involved in this project really even care how bad their work is?" or did someone order a group of people to come up with an idea for a movie and make it in a month. to say this movie is bad would be like saying rosie odonnell is kinda ugly. i wont give it the honor of the worst movie ever made, but it is irrelavent, boring, unconvincing, stupid, unstimulating, i could go on. and on. and on... look at the price tag and youll realize there is a reason that its so freaking cheap. its filmed and acted like a soft core porn movie without the sex(which would have made it bearable) DO NOT BY THIS MOVIE!!!!!! or buy it, whatever i dont care

SOMEBODY HELP ME, Déc 31 2003
This movie, obviously a labor of love from star/producer Catharina Conti, is one strangely crafted film. Visually, it's very beautiful with the real house, the surrounding woods and the naturally falling snow. It has a haunting ethereal balance that lends much suspense to the story. Basically, it's a two character story, starring Ms. Conti and Brennan Elliott. Now, I have to admit that it does seem long and there are some plot holes that are hard to justify. But I was extremely impressed with the acting. Ms. Conti has a vulnerability and a charm not usually seen in other actresses. She had an identity of her own; a woman still grieving over the death of her husband, unable to let him go, commenting at one point, she'd hold on until something really drastic happened. This happens when an escaped serial killer manages to worm his way into her home. Here's where Elliott comes in. His performance could have been taken overboard; after all, when you're playing multiple personalities, it's easy to go from mild to malevolent. Elliott does it convincingly, sometimes in a quiet look or an unexpected outburst. It's rare to see an actor with such smoldering sexuality bashfully peck a kiss on a woman in such a childish, adolescent way, without coming across as forced. His game of cat and mouse with Conti is suspenseful, if a little slowly dished out, but the performances are so good, I didn't mind staying with them. And in his last scene, Elliott gives one of the best speeches for a soon to be dead villain I can recall. He actually made me feel a little sorry for him. HOBB'S END is by no means a classic, but I would certainly enjoy seeing these two actors in future movies.

Overlong horror melodrama, Nov. 20 2002
The plot of "Hobb's End" is fairly simple. It's about an escaped convict in a sparsely populated town called Hobb's End out in the snow. The convict appears at the house of a woman whom's husband had recently died and he takes on the psychological identity of that husband, except with violent and gory behavior.The film has typical independent horror film faults: subliminal "scary" flashes that have nothing to do with the movie, confusing deaths (did that guy just get beheaded?), and a corny song probably sung by a relative of the producer. Also, the film is almost unbearably long at 108 minutes, and could have easily ended 30 minutes earlier and it would have been a better film. The only saving grace is Catharina Conti as the female lead. She is a beautiful woman. Even if this movie makes no sense at all and is really not scary at all, you can't take your eyes off her. I had never heard of this actress until I had the misfortune of seeing "Hobb's End", but I hope that she can appear in films better than this rubbish.
