Linda W I love Kevin Costner and thought to myself, it must be good! Right? I was left completely disappointed with the ending and felt that it was a waste of time to watch, Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Bahad j This idea of ​​the filmmaker made the movie more accessible to more people. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Marilynn C I can’t believe I sat through this sometimes engaging film to be so let down by ultimate evil destroying the protagonists! Don’t we have enough of this in real life right now? What an awful waste of cinema! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Kyle J No rhyme or reason to this story especial at the end. Typical scary (not really) creatures. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Matthew T A much underrated genre-bending horror monster flic with the unusual casting of Costner in a horror. The worst thing about this movie is the title - it should have been called The Mound. A mysterious mound in the garden of a newly moved in family changes the behaviour of the teenage daughter in horrifying ways. A lot of the tropes in this movie are drawn from the haunted house genre, or the creepy possessed kid genre - but you are being deceived. The mound houses a tribe of strange creatures with designs on Costner's teenage daughter. There are even shades of the movie Aliens in there somewhere. This movie is slow-burning but ominous and Costner helps ground the whole affair as only he can. The movie avoids the cardinal mistake of monster movies - showing the monster too early or too clearly - and for that alone deserves much credit. As a result, the chills, which do not rely on jump scares, are genuinely scary. There might be some social commentary about difficult teenage daughters here - but I don't really care. Enjoy this for the horror. Indeed, this movie has most in common with the also excellent (and superior) Signs - a family out of its depth and in jeopardy facing a terror it cannot really believe is even real. But, unlike Signs which can get a bit nostalgic and sentiment heavy, when the horror really gets going in the final act, this movie siezes you by the throat and never lets go until the very last frame. Bravo to the director! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Chester Starts off with weird camera angles where Costner's head is cut off and he looks like a giant in his daughter's oddly shaped bedroom..then a very poorly written scene where his son finds a loaded shotgun...and I gave up. I am not surprised that I never heard of this turkey before. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
