Not bad at all

I was looking for something to watch that wouldn't require too much thought, something quick and fun, nothing too complicated. When I saw the 3/10 rating on IMDb, I almost didn't watch the movie. In the end, I still did, and I'm glad I did. It was nothing special, but I wanted to be entertained, and that's exactly what the movie did. Nothing less, nothing more.

As other people have mentioned, the movie is like a cross between Nancy Drew and a Goosebump episode. It's filmed cheaply, with unknown actors that don't deliver any ground-breaking performances, but the script is well put together and interesting. The intrigue is surprisingly captivating, and there are no slow parts, resulting in a fast-paced movie where you don't really have time to be bored or annoyed.

The 'horror' parts of the movie are extremely cliché, and somewhat funny because they fail to surprise, but for younger kids this is just enough, more would be too much. Everything falls into place a bit too easily during the movie and the ending is ridiculous, but until that point the unfolding of the story is great, if kept in mind that this is a thriller/mystery for children. The ending supposes there will be a continuation, and I do hope so.

It's fun to watch, just don't expect more than it is.

A waste of time

released with no publicity or anything a few weeks back I saw this on a couple of movie Marquees and went to investigate. Family friendly (they hoped) TV movie about a 17 or 18 year old girl going to visit the family of a deceased childhood friend. There she runs into a mystery involving ghosts and a death curse. My notes from this are sketchy, mostly scribbles about how Rissa Walters as Sarah can't act. To be certain she looks good but its all over once she opens her mouth.The real question I seemed to have was how this ever got any sort of theatrical release, even one that rivals the release of Terry Jones Wind and the Willows (Then again this has some promotional material,I remember a poster, wind in the willows didn't). A waste of time. Lets hope the promise of a series of Sarah Landon films never is fulfilled.

Supernatural Soap Opera

In San Diego, Sarah Landon (Rissa Walters) is invited by her grandmother's friend Thelma Shaw (Jane Harris) to spend the weekend with her in Pine Valley, California. Sarah used to spend vacations there in her childhood with her deceased friend Megan, who died three months ago. While heading to Pine Valley Friday afternoon, the water pump of her car has troubles and the mechanic Carlos (Michael Silva) calls his assistant Matt Baker (Dan Comrie) to give a ride to her. Sarah knows Matt from her childhood and asks about his older brother David (Brian Comrie) and Carlos tells a sad story about their uncle, Ben Woods (Rusty Hanes),who used to brag about his only son Johnny (Rick Comrie) that was considered by him the best baseball player in the Valley. On his twenty-first birthday, Ben's sister Mary Ann Baker (Nicole Des Coteaux) decided to celebrate with Johnny but she had a car accident and the teenager died. Ben promises to kill David Baker on his twenty-first birthday and he dies on the day of Johnny's funeral. Along the years, Mary Ann becomes delusional and has a breakdown; during an argument of his mother with his father, David overhears the quarrel and becomes a hermit obsessed in occultism. On the next Monday it will be his anniversary and Sarah joins to Matt trying to save the life of David in the paranormal hour, when the spirits get stronger.

"Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour" has a supernatural story with good potential. Unfortunately the amateurish direction and the acting is not good, and this Comrie Family (Lisa, John, Brian, Dan, Rick and probably also the cat) movie becomes a disappointing supernatural soap opera. But there are movies worse than that… My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): Not Available
