Anthony DiBlasi's "Cassadaga" is the state of the art in horror movie storytelling, and the state of the art is horrendous.

Rated: 1.5/4

New York Times

This eager film piles on common fears: evil puppetry, haunted homes and overly generous hosts. So despite a sloppy and humorless execution, it is scary by association.

Rated: 2.5/5

"Cassadaga" tries to scoop up enough tropes to satisfy a wide range of potential fright fans but lacks the cohesion to ever truly be effective.

Rated: 2/5

Exquisite Terror

Enough strands are left to ponder to deem writers Bruce Wood and Scott Poiley as worthy of keeping an eye on.

A hodge-podge of horror tropes that frequently congeals into something fun.

Watching the opening moments of the new independent horror movie 'Cassadaga,' you might be forgiven for assuming the word is medical jargon for "self-administered impulse penectomy.'

Well this film tries really hard and even brings In the spiritual side of things into the mix to be different from the rest, but this actually makes it worse as the movie doesn't know what it is supposed to be. Stick to slasher stories they work best and have done since Psycho.

I randomly chose Cassadaga after reading the description on Hulu. It sounded like a serial killer/slasher film, but turned out to be a pretty run of the mill ghost movie. It was good, but not great. The one element that made it pretty interesting was that the main character was deaf. I have only seen one other horror film feature a deaf character and that was Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. Unfortunately, they did not use this to its full advantage. There were a few moments where it played into the plot. But mostly, it felt like something thrown in novelty. Still, it was an entertaining two hours.

Despite the pleasant screen presence of Kelen Coleman, this film is very disappointing. It runs on for longer than it needs to and does a poor job of keeping the story interesting. Not as scary as I was hoping for, and it tries too hard to be disturbing.

I really don't think I've seen worse horror than this. Nothing has come to a conclusion, what was all that penis drama for? Just bad.
