Touches You

Thanks for the memories!

best movie i've ever seen.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I have absolutely no idea about the original novel based on which the movie has been produced. But I can assure you that this movie independent of the work on which it has been based is a pathetically directed and scripted one. The topic under consideration is a complicated one and requires the primary cast and crew to be matured and precise about psychological responses of people under varied circumstances. The movie is a horror movie and yet there are psychological elements involved in it. The biggest failure of the movie is that it fails to do a good job in both the elements.When I am seeing a horror movie, I am ready to fore go some elements that make good cinema provided that I do really enjoy the goosebumps the movie has to throw at me. Do I really get scared when I see this movie? The answer is a plain and a simple "no". Because the visual effects are simply too lame. One does not really need a great animation studio to get the effects right. It takes sheer brilliance on part of the director to get things done right. A simple evidence of this is that we have really scary movies when there was nothing called computer animation! And that brilliance is completely lacking on part of the crew of the movie and we do not get goosebumps at all except maybe on one or two occasions.The movie is to end without any proper conclusion. It is one of those kind of movies which tell you two parallel possibilities and then leave you to decide for yourself what you want to think about the conclusion of the movie. Such movies are not bad provided that both the parallels are strongly motivating. This movie does not really do a good job in this department and at the end all we are left with is an ending that just does not excite you, enthrall you and to make matters worse, it leaves you completely dejected and heartbroken for having wasted your time on it.The central character of the movie is a disturbed character. She has been sexually assaulted back in childhood and one of the explorations of the movie is how such a person can pass on the pain to others. But the overall lack of skill on the part of the actress, the script and the failure of the director to hold it all together destroy this element of the movie and we find nothing convincing at the end of the movie. A movie can always end with a twist but it should be so strong that people are left with a feeling of "Wow" at the end of it. Nothing like that happens in this movie. It is disappointing right from the very beginning.

this movie is an absolute stinker.It has absolutely nothing to commend it.The acting is uninvolved and incapable of involving the audience.It feels as if the actors were going through the motions and didn't care one jot about the script or characters.There is no suspense, excitement or drama in the film.I was completely bored and frankly confused at times.I learned from reading other user comments that the movie was inspired by a book. Perhaps if I had read the book I would have cared more about what was happening on screen. I don't think its worth the effort of finding out.

A diabolically poor attempt at creating a ghostly thriller. A somewhat psychologically abused and fragile teacher finds work as the nanny for 2 troubled children in a huge creepy mansion house in the country. She is then confronted with hearing strange noises and other events that elude to the ghosts of previous employees haunting the house. Sounds good so far? Potentially yes, sadly in reality no. It slithered along at the pace of an arthritic snail on salt leaving the viewer (well this one anyway) wanting a refund for 90 minutes of life.The trailer and movie poster/box cover suggested the presence of suspense and gripping drama. Unfortunately there were neither. Not one scare or single moment of 'edge of seat' thrill. Isn't that why we watch these particular type of movies? You do not need blood and guts to create fear, suspense or even subtlety - look at 'The Others' or 'The ring' or 'The woman in black' or 'The Haunted' to name a few. In fact the only mystery was why the hell I sat for 90 minutes waiting for any redeeming feature. I have no idea what point this film was trying to make as any connection with the characters was lost in confusion and the point of the story unclear. The only meagre spec of salvation was a scene of mild lesbian eroticism which to be honest was irrelevant to anything in the plot and possibly designed to prevent the watcher from falling asleep!!! Ultimately, In a dark place is exactly where this film should be left......... to remain for ever!

The idea behind this movie wasn't terrible-a retelling of the classic psychological horror story "The Turn of the Screw", only, let's remove all of the ambiguity from the the character of the Governess, and make her an overt nutter suffering from childhood trauma. There are no ghosts- Little Miles and Flora are threatened by their crazy delusional governess. BUT, the movie falls flat on its face- bad acting, bad direction, bad script, bad editing...Leelee is particularly disappointing- has she given a good performance as an adult? The four points are for LeeLee's breasts (they are easily worth two a piece!) Want a good "haunted house" scare? See instead- "The Innocents", "The Haunting" (the original, not the remake), "The Uninvited" (best séance scene in history), and, most recently, "The Orphanage".
