Nothing Left To Fear [Blu-ray]

Pros - makeup is impressive, sheep are cute.Cons - excessive use of door noises, shoddy acting, the plot is as disgraceful as its use of fake blood, script lacks ... everything.To conclude, a pile of ink.

Great movie really impressed good actors and storyline keeps you hooked throughout

I did like the movie, it's not too bad but the end disappointed me. I don't want to spoil it so won't say more but I would have hoped for a different one.

Old style horror without the good horror. could have taken more time to make it alot better and creepy, but fails.

Not bad. Good actors and good script but a little dull. Worth a watch.

Disappointed

Garbage film

Not at all what I expected, but it was an old school type of horror and had the hairs on the back of neck standing up. Would definatly buy more directed by him.

Der Film war und ist sicherlich kein Kassenschlager, die 3Mio. Budget sind aber gut umgesetzt, der Meinung, dass die Masken und Special Effects schlecht sind,kann ich mich nicht anschliessen. Die Storyline hat einen schlichten Charakter, der Bildwechsel vom frohen Leben in einer Kleinstadt zum Düsteren hin, ist durchaus gelungen. Die schauspielerische Leistung ist solide, wenn auch nicht überragend, manche Entscheidungen der Protagonisten sind nicht unbedingt nachvollziehbar. Der Film bietet aber eine solide Unterhaltung für einen kurzweiligen Abend. Ich bereue den Kauf keinsfalls und würde den Film durchaus empfehlen, aber Geschmäcker sind glücklicherweise verschieden.

... als die beiden jungen Erwachsenen den kleinen Buder im Stich lassen wird es lächerlich.Entweder der Regisseur ist als Einzelkind aufgewachsen oder in Amerika ist es so üblich !?Sonst ist der Film wirklich gut gemacht. Ein unterhaltsamer Gruselfilm mit schönen Effekten.Leider hat Splendid das Bild mal wieder unnötig aufgehellt. Das machen die aber fast immer.

LOADS OF SPOILERS (and a lot of ranting LOL)This is a mediocre religious horror story about a small town with a dark secret.The film starts out in a rather familiar but promising way. A wholesome and outwardly religious family stops to ask for directions to their new home in Stull, Kansas. The father of the family is relocating to serve as the new pastor of the quaint, God-fearing hamlet. Reminiscent of The Last Exorcism (2010) and Children of the Corn (1984), the vast openness of the countryside hints at a socially remote and geographically isolated Bible Belt society living under a patriarchal theocracy in lieu of modern government. And that’s exactly what we get.Of course, everyone in town is hospitable to their new pastor, despite being a bit on the weird side. And, also of course, things start to get weirder…and slow! After a brisk start, the pace becomes sluggish after we are introduced to our protagonist family and the residents of Stull.The introduction is acceptably tropey and features good acting, but sadly the scares fail to follow suit. The delivery behind a nightmare sequence featuring creepy townspeople and decaying ectoplasm-spewing ghosts failed to provoke even a flinch out of me. They may not have used loud noises to get the job done, but the scares never really connected; feeling ill-staged and randomly inserted. And, not that I expect or demand much in the way of monster originality, but the evil entities smack a little too hard of Grave Encounters (2011), The Apparition (2012) and Pulse (2006), featuring wispy black ectoplasm that creeps like a supernatural infection afflicting flesh and inanimate objects alike with an abyssal decay. Once our evil antagonist assumes a more consistent form, it resembles a mix of Bughuul and a J-Horror stringy-air-in-the-face poltergeist with its victims appearing much as those drained corpses in Lifeforce (1985) or Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988). Sure, this film borrows a lot and, sure, I’m okay with borrowing horror elements. It’s just that this film failed to pack any punch.Further failing to elicit any interest was the misplaced plot device of an inhuman “tooth” serving as some sort of unexplained (and completely unnecessary) unholy artefact. This wasn’t subtle. This tooth was discussed a lot by characters and we see it change hands multiple times. This is the first sign that the film is falling apart before our eyes because, when we’re introduced to the tooth, it is evidently used as a form of “God’s hand” to choose a victim for a dark ritual…and that choice is made when someone eats a piece of “welcome to town” cake with the tooth in it! There are better, creepier and still easier ways to have accomplished that task in a horror movie.In an attempt to create a dire atmosphere, we encounter lines like “Have you made the choice? There can be no mistakes…We’re doing His will.” Clearly the locals have plans for their new pastor and his family. A sacrifice…a possession…an infernal impregnation (i.e., devil baby), perhaps? Suggesting that some impending evil is somehow the work of God, nightmare sequences now shift to undead demonic sheep afflicted with some manner of evil plague. Like the previous nightmare, it doesn’t seem to make any sense. Sure, there are some Biblical plague references in the imagery, but they are sorely misapplied.So, I have now twice mentioned nightmare sequences. These are the dreams of the new pastor’s quite attractive older daughter (Rebekah Brandes) and, it turns out, that there is no reason for her to be having these dreams! Nothing is explained, implied, metaphorically paralleled…I couldn’t even invent a reason for her to be having these foreboding dreams indicating that something bad was going to happen to her family—especially because she is not the “chosen one.” Screwing up the already scrambled synthesis of this messy story even more is that her nightmares imply that specific townspeople will do her (or her family) harm…but that doesn’t actually happen except for one indirect case. Some townspeople do poison the other daughter and, again, there seems to be no reason behind it at all given the events that follow.Many things are introduced that warrant explanation, aspects of the ritual being a lot of them…Why is a sacrifice required? What happens if they don’t do the ritual? How often must the ritual be performed? How do you know when it’s time to do the ritual? Do you always use the tooth to choose the victim? What if the new victims are gluten-intolerant and don’t eat the cake? Where the Hell did this tooth come from? A demon? What demon? Why is the victim later poisoned? Why does the victim’s sister receive warnings in the form of nightmares? How do they know when to end the ritual—because, YES, that happens! The ritual and the awful things that come with it has an “off switch.” Here’s a good one. If this happens every 10-20 years, how is the occasional death of an entire family (save one survivor who keeps her mouth shut for some reason) explained? Does no one (e.g., police/FBI/PIs) ever look for them and connect the dots that a new-to-town family (except one locally adopted survivor—as if that’s how adoption worked) is wiped out within days of moving once every decade? Here’s another winner. What happens if the surviving family members flee the town? It turned out that a surviving family member was used to end the ritual. What if they died or got away…demon apocalypse? End of Days for Stull…the world?There are movies that get away with leaving things mysterious. The Shrine (2010) is an excellent example. However, The Shrine doesn’t keep dealing out things that merit explanation—so it actually works! Children of the Corn also leaves a lot to the imagination, but it does so flawlessly and doesn’t pelt us with seemingly important things that go unexplained.The effects are fine, even sort of good. They’re just not “effective” in delivery. The same can be said for the story and other components of this film. Despite some capable performances by Clancy Brown (as the retiring pastor) and Anne Heche, this was a largely unsatisfying movie experience. While the idea behind the ending was okay, the execution was a bit weak—but maybe a “bit” satisfying as well.The only thing that really worked in this movie was our introduction to the characters, the opening atmosphere and the notion that something was weird about this town—all in the first 20-30 minutes. After that it all failed to find any form of synthesis, urgency, thrills or concern on my part. The characters didn’t do things that made sense, they didn’t react appropriately to situations (yes, even for a horror movie), and I left annoyed by the things that weren’t explained. A better movie would have left me curious, not annoyed.As if it made any difference, Guns ‘r Roses’ Slash was a producer on this film.I recommend this to no one.

This movie s*cked so much it was near physically painful! This is coming from someone who likes horror movies even if they are low budget, mediocre acting and potentially cheesy, but this wasn't THAT good. Only the pastor - J. Clancey Brown (will always be the Kergan to me from highlander) was a good actor. But, far more importantly was that it took FOREVER for anything to happen and it wasn't interesting when it did. If felt like a 4 hr movie. The "demon" isn't scary in the slightest. It took an hr for ANYTHING supernatural at all to happen. How this thing got produced and released I'll never know. Don't watch this heap.

Very disappointing movie

Great movie

great movie love horror movies

Loved the movie!!

It came on time, not broken and packaged well. Watched the movie started off great but, didn't have a point. I am a horror fan and I was not impressed with the movie at all.

Great item, great price and very quick delivery.

Regardless of any bad reviews this movie gets, if you love HORROR you have to see this movie. GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!

thank you for sending the movie out right away. We enjoy the movie

This movie was kinda slow.You don't find out whats really going on until the end of the movie,which is a little frustrating.So I gave it only 3 stars.

Always check out the place before taking the job.

When I first saw this movie on the shelf at Best Buy I said to myself "Great. Another possession film." but out of curiosity, I picked it up and read the plot of the film on the back and it actually didn't sound that bad. So I decided to check out Amazon reviews before buying it and seeing how many mixed reviews there were, I decided the only way to truly know for myself is to buy it. It came in the mail today and I was actually impressed with it.Pastor Dan has is relocating from big city to small town with his wife, Wendy and 3 kids Mary, Rebecca, and Christopher to the town of Stull, Kansas where Dan is scheduled to replace retiring pastor Kingsman at the local church. Rebecca ends up be-friending one of a very strange local, whom she becomes very close with, very quickly. Before long, Rebecca is haunted by vivid, paranormal visions and Mary comes down with a strange sickness that gets worse over time. The family soon realizes that they were "selected" by the town of Stull to be sacrificed to "close the gate" that will prevent Satan from taking over the world. One night at the town's Summer Festival, Mary has her drink drugged and is kidnapped by a townsman and taken to be sacrificed, which is where it all starts.The effects for Mary's possession were so-so but because this is not the highest budgeted of movies, I didn't expect it. From the time Mary's body is possessed, only her family can save her from the evil that awaits them but even they may not be enough to stop the inevitable from happening.Right off the bat, I want to say that this is not your typical possession film. Yes it does revolve around a female who has been possessed by a demon, but the overall story of the movie is what makes it different from the 80 other possession films you could find. Unlike other possession films, Nothing Left To Fear gives off a "You're on your own" vibe, leaving the family to fight their own battle whereas all the others commonly involve a priest, bibles, crucifixes, holy water, etc. You'll find none of that here. Just a good plot with semi-decent effects that overall make for a pretty decent movie.The film also features the song Nothing Left To Fear by Slash and Myles Kennedy in the credits, which is a very addicting song that can take anyone in with its mellow yet spine tingling vibe
