James H Spring lakes stars James Bryhan from Shadow and Bone, Typist Artist Pirate king and Oris Erhuero from Highlander and Redcon-1. 2 very talented stars from differing theatrical backgrounds coming together in indie film director, Ranjeet S Marwa's occult horror. A quick little snip on what to expect. The film revolves around Marcus who is coerced into searching for his sister by his mother , a manipulative and twisted character. Oris brought all the charm and flair that he is well known for and played the part of the adoptive father with vigor . His scenes with Mary were tense but there was no explanation as to when and why their "children " were adopted. Rosalind Stockwell played Mary, Marcus's mother with such intensity that she was almost frightening. Her scenes with James Bryhan were raw and slightly disturbing, performed with such appetite I found myself feeling for both characters and their feelings towards one another. A son who despises his mother but yearns for her love and acceptance and a mother who has deep regrets for giving birth to her son. James spends most of his time alone and in doing so, most actors , not all , would find it difficult to play with feelings without having someone to bounce off. James performs fantastically and excels as the tortured man who has come to realise the hell he has been put in. When he appears next to his co stars deep in the woods , he allows them to shine , almost standing back and allowing them to and may I say they certainly did. As a leading man, James did what all leading men do, he took the story and ran , A performance worthy of awards. The film is simultaneously more horrific than it sounds, and less. On a basic blood-and-guts level, it's not very gory at all - your imagination is, as always, far more effective at anticipating what horrors you will witness than what actually ends up onscreen. But your imagination is also good at filling in what is implied by what we see. This movie has invigorated my passion for the horror genre all over again with the inhuman actions of mankind and the depravity that the human soul can steep too. It can be horrific, especially when you have the believability of outstanding performances from James , Oris and Rosalind telling you the story. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Bea A Slightly confusing in parts and there is one scene that not only I believe was there for the shock value but as a parent, it turned my stomach, but overall quite a good movie. The acting was good apart from some overacting by father Gerald and the guy playing the dad seemed like he was trying to be Marlon Brando. Still for an indie film, the story was good and I liked the 2 leads . Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Diana M Father Gerald performed by David Lamont was horrifically and menacingly good throughout the film. The performances between Marcus and Gerald showed signs of an apocalyptic beginning of something akin to a genuine attempt to bring the horror genre to its next level, but unfortunately the story hesitated in going in that direction, which left me disappointed . It would have been good to see the film set around these two. The vulnerability and strength of acting from James Bryhan against his adversary, wicked , sick and twisted David Lamont . The film , overall was a good take on an old "lost in the creepy woods" tale and was far better than most horror films we see now on screening services like Netflix and Disney .
