 my favorite one October 19, 2008
i've seen a lot of the after dark horror fest movies and some of them are ok, and some of them are "ehhh" worthy. but i REALLY loved this one. this is my favorite.
*spoiler kind of*
i thought the family all had issues, kind of like the movie was giving you the perception that they are killers in just the way that they ARE killers, for not a bunch of reasons. but they have their reasons and for them they have to (in order to survive).
well anyways, i just really loved this one the most. i don't like the twins though (sister and brother). they have some serious issues to work out (incest much? really weird) lol.
 Cool concept, but poorly executed. October 5, 2008
I really can't wrap my mind around the fact that this flick is getting so much praise on here. The story, like so many have said, is refreshing but the poor cinematography, trying too hard acting, and the badly paced plot just really killed it for me; by the end of the movie all of the characters and plot just seem convoluted.
 Amazing! September 18, 2008
I found the moving excellent. The main character speaking from his narrative was superb and really set that eerie film you'd expect to find from a Rocky Horro Show Picture. It wasn't as gruesome as I thought it to be but it did the job. The Incestuous moments were by far my favorite, showing the degeneration of the family and how they really aren't just like other families. But a family nonethless, one that will stick by each other even when against the world.
 I'd recommend instead... June 7, 2008

Not sure why so many people are giving high ratings on this one. The acting was sub-par, the lighting design was heinous, and the production was more horrifying than the story. If you want to see a truly creepy indie horror film, check out Baby Blues. I was lucky enough to attend a private screening and was thoroughly creeped out. The acting is better than expected as is the production value. It had some truly unexpected twists. Check it out instead, it comes out on DVD in August.
Precious Horror Masterpiece May 8, 2008
Like many who have reviewed before me, I turned to Afterdark Horrorfest with hopes of a horror genre revolution or at the very least revitalization. They're doing an okay job. It's a step up above the garbage that gets released at the movie theatres!
I became slightly obsessed with this movie. I started watching it daily, figuring out more symbolism and picking up clues here and there. The movie is incredible because it does something that only true masterpieces can. It makes you sympathetic to the villain. At the end of the movie, you even feel sorry for the damned Hamilton family. Or at least I did. Maybe I'm just that twisted. But I sort of wanted to be in the Hamilton family...
