Amber Alert (2012)
Heart Pounding Intensity
If not for the first wasted 10 minutes of this movie, I would give it a 10. Not for those who seek immediate gratification, this movie is so realistic and down to earth, not to mention so intense that I could hardly breathe! It's hard to pause the movie even if you desperately need to. The acting was honest, with believable characters and the choices they made. Filmed documentary style, you feel as if you're along for the ride, yet unable to help with suggestions and decisions, while you cringe waiting to see what will happen next. A must see for those who like independent films that don't require big boobs, blood and gore to be considered good.
Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971)
This is an incredibly intelligent, well acted film!
I was lucky enough to find this gem while channel surfing late one night. The lead actress, Zohra Lampert, whom I have never seen or heard of before, did an incredible job of appearing vulnerable, warm, compassionate and a little mad! The setting was nice, which lolls you into relaxing and the house was incredible. The film was paced perfectly while building up to the finally dizzying climax. There were a couple of times that I thought I knew what was going to happen but I found myself delightfully surprised! You're not sure whether you are watching a ghost story or a vampire flick! This movie gets the job done without being over sexual, but still enticing and with the lack of unnecessary, over the top screaming that so many horror movies rely on! With the combination of excellent acting and perfect atmosphere, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, has become one of my favorite horror films!

Ignorance at it's finest
Not worth the time for a review. But since IMDb.com says that I have to write at least ten lines, here goes.
The wigs were ridiculous, the actors, especially the males were a joke. I kept hoping, waiting for this movie to get good because I love independent films, but not only was the movie very slow paced, it was not at all good.
This movies showed what should have been the progression of the main character, but all she did was slide backwards. It was so boring that I thought of changing the channel the whole way through, but decided I would try to be fair and watch it entirely. In the final scene,my first thought was that I had just wasted a half an hour.
